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.

and yet no problem for the ARRL's marketing director to hop over to
Yeasu

He is forever tainted...

Wow, Goobers united!

I don't think Yaesu/Vertex Standard has a policy which precludes the
hiring of those who worked at the League.

The League's policy doesn't preclude the candidacy of those who
*previously* worked in professional communications or the manufacture
and marketing of amateur radio equipment. They deal with those who work
in such fields *currently*, at the time of the election.

Likely candidates for ARRL volunteer positions are what? retirees?

Volunteer positions are not elected positions. Read up on it.

What do the elected positions pay?

Read up on it.

You read up on it.

Then you had no need to ask the question. Quit wasting my time.

I already know that ARRL volunteer positions, elected or otherwise, do
not pay.

How about that!

So the available pool of applicants are either retired, on public
assistance, or both.

That is a false assumption.

People with up to date knowledge from the industry, such as Carl, need
not apply.

People with possible conflicts of interest need not apply.

Now get over yourself.

I should get over knowing what the rules are regarding ARRL elections
and how those rules are applied?
