@hotmail.com says... This came from another radio group. They are doing a survey to find out why some people do not like the ARRL. I don't like it because it costs to much. If it were $10 a year I might consider joining. Louis "snip" Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF I *am* a member of ARRL, but do find the membership a little steep... I'd go $25,, but will think long and hard about renewing at $40. I think a lot of the long gray vanity call lists of DX and contest results should be moved out of QST and onto some sub menu web page where the three people who give a damn could look them up. QST is a pretty good rag; it can still be improved. I object to ARRL's position that we should not be discussing sex, politics or religion on the bands...what else is left worth talking about? BUT I wish ARRL or *someone* could act effectively to make these discussions a bit more civil. I don't think ARRL is doing enough of the "right stuff" to attract newcomers, particularly youngsters, to the hobby. Often the emphasis is too much on technolgy and equipment and not enough on the social exploration that's possible with our radios. On positive side I think ARRL is still doing a pretty decent job representing our interests to the Beltway Bandits. 73 KC2LVQ |
