Just even one more proof of what I mean. Attempting to control free speech
when a differing opinion occurs....
Why should they have exclusive control of the whole amateur community when
they only represent (roughly) a quarter of the population?

You keep saying I should join, but why should I?? List specific reasons,
backed by facts. Not vague generalities or "big-brother/mafioso-like"
reasons? All it is, is a very expensive magazine subscription, so let's not
kid ourselves.

No need to slam the ARRL. There isn't any other group available to do so.
They have the resources to evaluate the common usage of the band, develop
it
into a band plan, and then to widely disseminate the information so that
it
is useful to all. What other group can match that? Simple: None. If you
want input, join the group and work from within. Don't slam it from
without.
