Subject: Why You Don't Like The ARRL
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 12/22/03 1:10 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: Jimmie isn't stating any "facts." Lennie! Again with the belittling names towards people who don't do it to you. Do we need to re-post the posts wherein YOU stated you DON'T respond with such cutesy names when not so addressed yourself? It's been at least five years now that you've been calling Jim "Jimmie", the "pedantic parson", etc. Why do you lie? Why do you insist on making such obviously irresponsible assertions only to have them fed back to you? Is being an idiot a family curse? Unlike the ARRL...which IS a dues-asking, amateur license required, membership organization and political special interest group and a publishing business, NCI does not pretend to represent "all" amateurs. An Amateur Radio license is NOT required for membership in the American Radio Relay League. It never has. When the ARRL lobbies in washington, it DOES seek to represent ALL Amateurs, dues paying or not. I have yet to see the ARRL submit any document saying "We represent all Amateurs except..(fill in the names)..." ARRL pretends to "represent all amateurs" yet they still haven't gotten close to a majority of all licensed U.S. amateurs to belong to them. They've not been able to do that for years past. Yet the ARRL IS accepted by the FCC and a number of other Washington agencies as THE defacto representive of Amateur Radio as a whole. This is a fact. It is not subject to YOUR opinion, Lennie. Sorry. ARRL refuses to take a stand on code testing in the USA yet the International Amateur Radio Union long ago came out for eliminating the code test internationally. Once that happens, NCI has stated that it will dissolve, cease to exist as a special interest entity. The code test requirement as an international regulation has been eliminated. So I don't see the NCI wrapping things up. ARRL is your shepherd, you shall not want... Lennie is an arrogant fool, we know this well... Steve, K4YZ |
