Reading the FCC ECFS comments uncovered one very heartening bit
of information. W3BE, who is generally a very staunch supporter
of ARRL, and who notably is a member of NCVEC (with their clone

Lord knows the FCC doesn't need to "sully" it's reputation any more than
it already has. I don't think it could stand any more "sully(ing)" than they
ahve already inflicted upon themselves and us as an end result...
