Perhaps it is your hope that Amateur Radio not be represented or supported? ARRL is just one ham organization that tries to influence the FCC. There are others. I'm sure that they would be happy to step in should my personal boycott of ARRL become successful... |

I'm sure there are plenty of organizations besides ham radio that would be happy to step into the power vacuum. Look at Iraq. I'm sure ARRL is not nearly as bad as Sadaam to warrant a scorched earth solution. |

Not as we know it, anyway. What would happen is that there would be a little change here and a little change there until there was essentially nothing left. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

They should already be working to take their place so that more people will boycott the ARRL. Perhaps because they simply can't handle more than a single issue at a time (NCI comes to mind). |

My supposition is that if there had been no ARRL, another group or groups would have been lobbying in it's place. They should already be working to take their place so that more people will boycott the ARRL. Let me try one more time (3rd try). My boycott is purely a *personal* one to make *me* feel better. I really am not trying to get converts. |
