To All- I am a former ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Vice-Director from 1990-1994. I am always disappointed that the ARRL does not follow CQ Magazine's philosophy. Do survey questionnaires in every issue of QST about issues facing the League and Amateur Radio. That they use a post card insert survey answer form in every issue of QST with a return address to the League. Then publish the results in the next available QST issue and document them. ARRL can also do the same on their Internet homepage. Then the League will have documented survey answers from it's members and the Amateur Community to present to it's ad hoc committee's, Board and Executive committee's. It also would look better for Congress and the FCC. I have always advocated doing this for issues facing both the League and Amateur Radio.
Asking members and the Amateur Community for comments is nice. Unfortunately like all such issues they would have to go out of their way to make highly visible their need for membership and Amateur Community participation. I believe the above suggestions would be more effective. It would also demonstrate to it's members and the Amateur Community their credibility in responding. I represented this while Vice-Director but I am afraid it got ignored or buried. 73's, Bob K5SEP __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
