And, therefore, not a Radio Ham, but one of those

Too late! Too late! The Mongolian Hordes of CB types
are at the gates and have already Trojan-Horsed their
way in!

Take action _NOW_ before it is too late1

But what action?

Easy - resign from organisations such as the ARRL and
the RSCB which are promoting the CBise-ation of Ham Radio!

not in a positon to comment on RSCB

but the ARRL is hardly a friend of Ham radio, but for the anything
like the reason you allude to

it no friend becuase it tries to pretend it is leading by following
every barking back at every dog that barks

BTW you standards Poly Ham radio in the US is already CB, since the
Techs and those that started as Techs are the vast amjorty of Hams

so indeed you vision of the Ham radio is already long dead

Ham radio is Dead, Long Live Ham radio

poly as a Brit you ought to aprecate that
