Without the ARRL, do you think we'd still have amateur radio? I don't.
Um, the rest of the planet does not have the ARRL, and amateur radio
is still going strong there.....
In large part that's because of US influence at the international level. Also
the IARU, which was founded by guess who?
Except for Japanese 4th class licensees, how many hams are there in the rest of
the planet?

radio in the 1920s at the Paris conferences....
