Interesting take. I kind of read this as "we will do the work of renewing your
license for you for free if you join," and not as a trick to imply license
renewal fees...

Sorry, no. The ARRL will not see another penny come from me in form of
membership.
They lost my vote when they sent me a letter when it was close to time for me
to renew my license saying:
Join us for and we'll renew your license for free.
Which to me made it sound like there was a fee to
Theresa,
I understand your point. It does seem kind of underhanded of them to imply
they'd take care of something for you if you pay them, when you could do it for
free yourself.
Sadly, many people today ask: what's in it for me? They expect to get something
for their money. And some

Ditto on the single band radio.
Belton Hamfest is October 2nd.
Black Friday is in November.
Pick your top 2 radios and go shopping.
Your antenna may be the bigger hurdle.

The FCC already has my upgrade to General in the database. Much thanks for the
excellent job by the VE's who gave me the exam and took care of the paperwork.
Now that I have more of the HF world open to me, I'm looking for advice on an
entry level (i.e. cheap) HF radio. I don't do CW, so my
6 or 10 to 80 would suit your needs. 160 ia a ham band, but one needs the King
Ranch for an antenna.
By the time you pay for the one band rig, something like the 718 or even the
7300 comes into play.
On HF, DO NOT RUSH TO BUY. ASK. LOOK AROUND. ASK OTHER HAMS IF YOU CAN SEE
THEIR RIGS. BE
I'd strongly suggest staying away from a single band radio. Many good
used 10-160m +6m 100W radios out there in the $300-$700 dollar range
Watch for something like a Yaesu FT-450 or ICOM 706MKIIG on the used market

The iCom iC7200 is a great radio, especially for digital modes. It has its own
sound card.
