Jim:

This new ARRL Proposal is pretty much what I would expect to come out
of
Newington these days.

Except it didn't come out of Newington - it's the result of the BoD's
vote. And
the BoD are from all over the country, elected by the members.


True indeed. However, it would be interesting to see how much
"membership"
actually participated a) in the election of the BoD and b) how
much--because
of that--the ARRL's decisions are actually influenced by a majority of US
Amateur Radio Operators.

Nothing wrong with the concept that the BoD represents someone, but who
they
represent is those members of whom decide to actually be active in the
goings-on of the ARRL; and I don't think many do. Any numbers on that?



Why single out the ARRL? Almost every organization and our national
political scene is the same way. A few active people get out and vote. A
few active people get out and do the work. These are the people who always
have and always will shape policy. Yet those who are unwilling to vote or
do the work continually whine about how they are not represented. It is the
same thing throughout our society. The ARRL is not unique.

Gasp! You mean that the ARRL does NOT represent amateur
radio in the USA?

How can that be? Doesn't everyone write their Director/Section
Manager who will faithfully and honestly bring their views to the
Big Board?

Strange. LESS than a quarter of all licensed U.S. radio amateurs
belone to the League.

You mean that ARRL represents those three-fourths who aren't
members?!?

Does the ARRL represent any of those interested in becoming a
radio amteur?

No, Lennie...but they represent folks interested in becoming
radio AMATEURS.

LESS qualified than he percieves himself MAY be allowed to get on HF
soon!
