. . . unbelievable . . !!

I'm usually one who waits to "hear the other side of the story", but this
incident astounds me. For the first time since I became interested in
amateur radio, it's not clear to me why I should continue my ARRL
membership.

But what is the existing or potential conflict of interest?

Carl works as a consulting engineer for commercial firms which have
interests in the millimeter end of the spectrum which could be in
conflict with our interests in the ham bands which are also in that
part of the spectrum.

What you mean "millimeter end of the spectrum which could be in
'conflict with our interests' in the ham bands"?

Since WHEN has there been any "great interest" in the World
Above 30 MHz to the League? The core membership of the League
is interested only in "working DX on HF with CW." :-)

Plenty of League members operate the bands above 30 MHz.

Quantify "PLENTY," snarly Heil. Give us some NUMBERS.

"Snarly"=anyone who disagrees with Leonard H. Anderson.
I've worked hundreds of them over the past four years via SSB/CW/FM on
the VHF/UHF bands.



Tsk. Still VAGUE. "Hundreds" isn't quantified sufficiently well.


Yet you've surmised that ARRL members aren't interested. You have no
facts, no figures, just a hunch.


No in truth I believe his point is the ARRL Ledaership isn't interested

Also, the "millimeter" bands are not the centimeter bands such as
70 cm.


There's one your familiar restatements of the obvious. I'll add my
thanks for all of those who weren't aware.


well you were going on and on about 70cm and down so...


Perhaps you've heard of the monthly QST VHF/UHF column. It has been
around for decades. I have decades worth of QST Magazine and ARRL
Handbooks featuring construction articles on VHF/UHF antennas,
amplifiers and the like.



Goodie, you can be an "elmer" and teach all those newcomers
ALL ABOUT the MILLIMETER BANDS!! :-)



Do you know that I haven't?


I know you can't. You lack the temperment to mentor almost anybody
therefore of course you can't realy elemer any one on the MM bands
cut
Anyone on the WEST coast would NOT know what is going on
on the east coast. MILLIMETER BANDS are rather line-of-sight.


Anyone on the West Coast who is not a radio amateur would likely not
know much about what hams were doing at any given time on the millimeter
bands.


again why must you waste BW reminding everyone that Len ins't a ham

cut
My my you really ARE ****ed off, aincha, snarly Dave? Tsk, tsk.


Not at all, Leonard. I accorded you much more civil treatment than I
received from you.


Bigg whooper you aren't civil to anyone that disagrees with you

My bad...said unkind things about Big Brother in Newington. :-)


That wasn't your error, Len. What you did was state unsubstantiated
things about League members.

Snarly Dave, go to the grill and fork yourself. You're done. :-)


There's a very well known profile which fits your behavior. Would you
like to see it?


see you grill yourself? Hmm might be accepatabl;e esp if you realy went
and did it, but personaly Id prefer you flambayed
