It is less about "the tiny sliver of spectrum" than it is about bureaucratic arrogance and an absense of accountability. It is mostly about "do as I say not as I do" on the part of the ARRL. They preach "no QRM", then they QRM. They preach "follow the bandplan" then they violate the bandplan. They preach "no cw is OK" then they QRM and violate the bandplan to promote cw. They preach the value of "elmering" by example yet they demonstrate selective anarchy -- precisely the thing we do not want former CBers to bring from that world into ours. To say that the message from the ARRL is muddled is an understatement. -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Projects: http://ham-macguyver.bibleseven.com Personal: http://bibleseven.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
