Possibly. But as an ARRL member in the Atlantic Division, I thought he
should have the chance to run. The fact that I disagree with him on
some issues might have been overshadowed by broad agreement on other
issues.

Maybe I would have voted for him, maybe not. Maybe he could have won,
maybe not, but at least I wanted the choice.

Carl's excellent work on interference-from-BPL speaks for itself.

Director terms are not for life. The board, committees and officers
change over time. There will be other elections.

Jim, this is one of the fairest replies that I've seen from you in a
long time.

indeed

But why is it that the judicial system relies upon people seeing that
they have a conflict of interest and recuse themselves, but amateurs
cannot? Is amateur radio more important than the judicial system that
you have to refuse top notch talent so that a conflict can never occur?
so that a person cannot show that they have integrity and recuse
themselves?

it does sgive creddence to notion that ARRL and is Morsemen foreveris
seen by them ARRL as more critcal the role of the Supremes in the Us
Govt or at least a person could be forgiven for concluding ithat

If Heil is so sure that Carl's mouth would preclude him from winning an
election, why not give him the opportunity to be SOUNDLY defeated?

It isn't my option to give him the opportunity. He was disqualified
from running under long-standing election rules. Carl would need to
meet the qualifications for standing for an ARRL Board election before
he could be soundly defeated.

One could also be forgiven for concluding that that whole things was
just pay back

Likely.

Another sinister conspiracy, huh?

I've seen the way a bunch of Extras act on RRAP.

I've seen the way you and your friend Mark act here on r.r.a.p. I don't
suppose that it has anything to do with amateur radio license class.

Why would a bunch of
other Extras act any differently?

What you've done is add two and two and come up with an erroneous result.
