Sounds like one of Len's typical conspiracy/dishonesty rants aimed

Quit trying to sound like a Ba'athist amateur, Klunk.

Quit avoiding making direct answers to direct questions, Your
Scumminess.

The League (of Notions) MAKES MONEY on the publication side
of their conglomerate of control.

"Conglomerate of control"...?!?! The ARRL is the ONLY
Amateur Radio publisher out tehre, Lennie?

Ads in QST pay for everything in the QST staff and the cost of job
printing and fulfillment (publication talk for mailing/distributing).

Speaking of "fulfillment", I imagine that's what the ARRL staff,
(Ed hare, et al) have once every two weeks, Lennie.

Sure is nice that THIER magazine is still in business, isn't
it...?!?!

The "non-profit" stuff and nonsense is for lowering their taxes.

It works. It could work for you too, if you cared to try.

I interviewed for a League position years back. The
salary offered wasn't enough to cover a move and life in the greater
Hartford area.

Translation: You were rejected. (boo hoo for you)

Facts to the contrary exist. The League has solicited for other
positions int eh past, and Dave's assessment of the League's salary
offerings are on-the-mark.

That's on the web too, Lennie. (Facts suck when they screw up
your rants, huh, Lennie...?!?!)

While I'm sure that salaries are now better, I don't
think any League staffers are putting up gold-plated Rohn tower and 80m
yagis at their palatial estates.

Rohn filed for bankruptcy on account of that?

You can see the top five staffers' salaries given on their 2002 IRS
forms.

We can see yours too. Your point?

It's about your ignorance of what a non-profit really is.

*Guffaw!*. Her ignorance? I see some gaping holes in your own
database.

Nooo, Klunk, "non-profit" is a status to claim for paying LESS
taxes.

"Non-profit" is more than a tax shelter.

The nature of the ARRL still supports and substantiates thier
non-profit status.

Sorry you don't care for it.

If you are foolish enough to believe that W1AW's station, the
"museum" and all the other paraphenalia came out of dues, you've
got a database gap large enough to sail the USS Enterprise through.

And you have, of course, "facts" that delineate what dollars came
from which accounts to cover all these projects, Lennie?

With all the dissatisfaction you've expressed, why not start your own
organization for like-minded hams? I'm sure you'd amass a following in
no time.

Three-fourths of all licensed U.S. radio amateurs are NOT members.

Eight tenths of all Americans are not card-carrying members of
the political parties they usually "support", either, but they do.

Your point?

That should be evidenciary. To all but the minority who are members.

Again...so what?

Members "KNOW what is good for all the others" and therefore they
are the elite.

Obviously not enough of the "majority" feel compelled to
"overthrow" the ARRL over it's policies or practicies, Your
Scumminess.

Even more evident, then, is that the "minority" you refer to MUST
be fairly representing the "non-members" since there is no organized
alternative to the ARRL.

The League (of Notions) still holds on vainly to the idea that morse
code is still the ultimate of amateur skills...long after the rest of the
radio world has given it up, discarded it for communications.

Why do you persist in publically misrepresenting the truth, Sir
Anderscum?

Continue to be the acidic spam-bot for the League (of Notions), old
Klunk. You have taken a Ba'ath...but are yet unclean.

"I am only here to civilly debate the Morse Code test
issue"...LHA

Obviously not.
