Why are you suspicious, Len? Anyone could petition the FCC directly,
and many did, long before the Internet and ECFS.

Len is suspicious of the League's elections of Directors too. Len is
suspicious of a number of things in which he isn't involved.

Interesting how Carl was barred from running for section office.
Professional talent need not apply - we only want amateurs.

The ARRL's rules regarding candidacy for elected ARRL positions existed
decades before Carl's run. The matter is moot since Carl's mouth would
have precluded his being elected had he qualified for candidacy. The
skeletons were pouring forth from the r.r.a.p. closet.

You're describing halloween.

I'm describing statements made by Carl. If those are Halloween, so be it.

Skeletons pouring forth...

Like working out of band frenchmen on six meters...

"Frenchmen". I broke no regs in my 6m operation from anywhere. As
you've been previously advised, if you have a problem with French ops
being outside their allocated band segment on any band, you should take
it up with the French authorities and the REF. Additionally, my 6m
operation would not likely effect my eligibility to run for an ARRL
elected position. My views are mainstream and I have no record of bad
mouthing the ARRL or its Board of Directors.

If you take Carls remarks in context, there are a lot of hams that
would agree with him...

There's not much evidence of that. Who might they be--the MoveOn.org of
ham radio?

Dave K8MN

and would welcome a scrapper in the white house,
err volunteer office.

I'm unfamiliar with the MoveOn.org of ham radio.

Obviously.
