"JEP" wrote in message m... 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. ex ARRL member Shouldda added "and a cheap whiner" after member. I am not going to waste space replying to each of the above as that would mean that there was some merit or better yet thought there. I run into the same rants from many of the other organizations I belong to when it comes to membership and dues. These people spout off their big mouths which have no shortage of hot air ....but part with a buck or two ....Katie bar the door .... I can take and listen to criticism regarding any organization if the person was a member and not a sap sucking leach-parasite. And yet the ARRL is for all hams. Show me an organization anywhere that operates without funds and I'll show you one that the few work their collective asses off for the benefit of the remainder of the membership i.e. the parasites. So I guess ham radio should collectively ask these tight-wad, freebie seeking, selfish, greedy and non-sharing hams ......WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY ????.....expect moan about crap that went under the bridge a long time ago, squeezing that nickel till the Buffalo defecates and hide behind some initial name in the newsgroup. Take care, don't share and keep on spewing hot air ... 73 KI3R Tom Popovic Belle Vernon Pa |
