A typo? What do you mean by ARRL losers?

The ARRL does the following:

* QST in print

* QST in digital format

* QST product reviews

* Represents us at the IARU and ITU

* Provides a Technical Information Service for hams with a tech problem

* Runs the Volunteer Examiner Coordinator service that administers 75%
of ham exams

* Runs contests and awards (DXCC, WAS, etc)

* Runs Logbook of The World QSL service

....and many more things that benefit ham radio that I didn't type.

I (and maybe the rest of the group) would like to know why you call all
they do for the good of ham radio as being a "loser". Possibly you have
better ideas you could share with us?
