Default You'll probably never have to use CW to save a life.

There is a reason that the ARRL membership numbers are so abysmal even
though they are the only national amateur radio organization of any
consequence.


Yeah the same reason that 75% of the people I know don't belong to
organizations of whatever hobby they do participate in. They're just not
"joiners".

But this isn't stamp collecting or fly-tying. It isn't even soccer or
la crosse.

This is amateur radio where lives are saved and we are everybody's comm
back-up.

Don't you think we could get a little more participation?
