Sorry to dissappoint you but I received my call when the Novice ticket
was only good for a year, you either upgraded or lost it. Upgraded to
General then to Advanced, took all but the Novice in front of an FCC
examiner. I have had the same call since, just dropped the N after
upgrading, it is a 1X3 K call and not one of those later
2X3's like you have.

In the amateur radio service, how long you been licensed? I never held
any cb license, never operated cb.

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.

And just exactly what do you expect that they could do for $10.00
a month?

Please name me ONE organization in ANY "hobby" activity that
provdes the scope of servcies and resources the ARRL offers to it's
target peer group.

Awaiting your informed response.

I think this is one of those cases where some people think that their
membership is a subscription to QST. Its a lot more than that. ARRL does
a lot for Amateurs, even those who hate the organization.

Thats all it really is

Kee Low Cycle spluttered:

You do not have an amateur radio call sign. You have operated on
CB for almost 40 years. Prove otherwise. What is your ham
radio call sign?

Kee Low Cycle

Well if that is what you wish to believe mr. kreep low cycle, then you
are perfectly within your right to do so. I have never operated a
tranmitter on cb or any frequency I am not licensed to use, and I don't
have to prove a cottin-pickin thing to you.

I don't like ARRL because:

1) Membership price too high
2) Can't separate QST from membership
3) QST only counts as $15 of the $39 membership fee
4) Incentive licensing from the 60's
5) Ham radio is a dying hobby
6) 5wpm Extras
7) No value given for the money invested
8) No accountability of the board and Executive staff
9) Really doesn't represent the majority of hams (majority don't
belong)
10) Really no different than 'NRA', 'AARP', 'NAACP'. Take your money
and use it for their own agenda, NOT yours!

That is enough for a start.

Sorry to see '73' and Wayne Green exit publishing.
Sorry to see 'Ham Radio' exit publishing.
