How, Len?

Let's look at some examples...

Policy:

In 1953, when the FCC opened all amateur operating privileges to all
US
radio amateurs except Novices and Technicians, ARRL did not
try to require more code testing for full privileges.

Their very, very last effort at leadership. Fifty two years ago.

HALF A FRIGGIN LIFETIME AGO FOR RADIO EXPERIMENTORS!!! Idiot!

In 1963, in its original "incentive licensing" proposal to FCC, ARRL
proposed that full privileges be available only to Advanced and Extra
licensees, and that the Advanced be reopened to new issues. This
meant
that full priviliges would require more written testing but not more
code testing.

I advocate that full privs be established for 90WPM tested amateurs.
Got any??? Privs for those not able to achieve 90WPM will be
reassigned to the BPL bands. Idiot!

In 1990, ARRL supported the creation of a nocodetest amateur radio
license.

Why not 1987??? Idiot!

Where was the ARRL's leadership when the FCC made the "Novice
Enhancement?" Why did the FCC have to go it alone without the ARRL's
"""Leadership???""" Extra-wipe! Idiot!

N2EY is so full of EXTRA excrement that I just can't allow the rest of
his original post to be quoted. You offend thinking people unlike any
"off color" callsign that you would care to strike.
