First of all, Warren, you make a very convincing argument. I would vote
directors in that truly represent the hobby. I recall many years ago, the
former Atlantic Director (Hugh Thurbill??) and I had a frank discussion on
AM at a local hamfest he attended. He was not very receptive to my support
of AM. Years later I met him again and he had mellowed a bit. I am glad
that he no longer represents me. The climate has changed somewhat but we
must join the ARRL to vote those out that do not represent us fairly and
equitably.

Hello Dave...
been a member of arrl from before i got licensed...now 41 years...
I can't stand up for an organization that through my life has done
nothing more than
build hurtle after hurtle for the growth and future of the hobby.
From the BPL disaster (can you just imagine how much of our money was
wasted on that?) to the missed opportunities to expose amateur radio to
the national media in the 2004 hurricanes, to the sad litany of licensing
'reform' over four decades, and the half-baked, thinly disguised attempt
through IARU to once again
put the vintage community (30 percent of their membership by some
surveys)under the
boot, you'll never sell us that standing up for the league is in our best
interest.
Too bad we can't just file a class action suit, but first we'd have to
figure out what planet these people are on...in order to serve the papers

It's like those who are not registered to vote. They always have
something to say about their government, their leaders, etc. Discussion
that are to be left in the bar room.
I just bet that the ARRL simply ignores - I would - the comments by
those who are not members.
Join the ARRL and stand up for the League. Regardless of their policies
over the years, it is still our voice for amateur radio.
Please respond off line so as not clutter up this fine mail list. The
server needs a rest!
Where is Glenn Baxter, K1MAN, when you need him! Oops!

Pete you know that is 100% horse hockey!! They are pumping sunshine up
your
skirt just like they did to WD5BZO. I read both of those posts and you
know
it! This is a simple fact that the ARRgghhL screwed the pooch big time.
Sorry, your excuses aren't good enough to pacify the masses. The damage
is
done and the bone-sauces up in Newington are responsible!

If you haven't read the e-mail dialog between Larry, W8ER, and Joel
(ARRL
President), W5ZN, on November 13 and 17, you probably should. It might
shed some additional light on the items presented in the WD5BZO audio.
