I'm sick at how the bands have become sounding like CB over the last 17 years, and the League is still intent on making things worse. So Phuk'em I have a completly different opinion! Join the ARRL today! There is no better time than now, to join the ONLY voice that Ham Radio has. If you don't like what you, Mr I have no balls, than turn your radio off! You are not helping anyone! Like I said, my membership had paid off!!!!!! You couldn't get on HF until it was given to you, lardass. |

If you want to stop this, join the ARRL and start a recall of all of
the current directors and vice directors. "Keyboard In The Wilderness" wrote in message news:NuzQb.59621$zs4.22815@fed1read01...

-- I have a completely different opinion! Join the ARRL today! \ 73 From The Wilderness Keyboard I won't join the ARRL because full membership now requires a frontal lobotomy. If you see your section manager or Division director at a meeting or Hamfest, ask them how their surgury went, then slap the **** out of them for me. Screw'em |

If you see your section manager or Division director at a meeting or Hamfest, ask them how their surgury went, then slap the **** out of them for me. I'm afraid you *will* need to slap them in order to get their attention. The BOD doesn't listen to members or hams like me anymore. If the ARRL leadership had cared about the state of amateur radio and the quality of its operators, they never would have made the proposals that they've made over the last 11 years. To them its let us get more morons licensed so we can get more money in the ole bank account. The ARRL leadership doesn't care for quality, capable operators. But their plan will back fire on them and ham radio has and will suffer. When you hand free licenses to everyone, those people don't appreciate it and probably won't buy a membership. You always appreciate something more when you had to work harder to get it and you'll take care of it. But to the ARRL it's all about money and I'll bet anyone in this group that if they get their way with their proposal they will offer a 12 dollar discount to new ham non-members like they did at the last restructuring. "Take a ham test, and we'll discount new membership on the price of your VEC test fee!" Oh well, Nuff said. Most of you don't care anyway. Back to listening to the lids and CBer type behavior on the bands. 73 KB7ADL |

Heres something better: From the ARRLs FAG:
"Did ARRL poll its members on this proposal? How was it formulated? Because ARRL is a representative democracy, ARRL Directors listened to members in their respective divisions while considering these issues. Directors heard from many amateurs in their divisions, and some directors conducted their own surveys. The final proposal represents the Board's best effort at changes to the Amateur Radio licensing structure needed to carry us through the next 10 to 15 years." Now this makes one wonder how many members did they get Info from. Was it 5, 10, 20, or even 100. The point being before the ARRL puts forth such a proposal, it would be well Advised to determine what a Majority of there MEMBERSHIP was thinking. Untill the ARRL provides actuall figures, I can no longer see where they represent there MEMBERS WISHES. As for me, with 25 Years as a Member, they will never get 1 more RED PENNY from me for anything. |

I, for one, suggest that popularity polls and beauty contests are not a particularly good method for influencing and guiding the evolution of the Amateur Radio service. This is particularly true for the National Association for Amateur Radio, which in my not-so-humble-opinion is abdicating its responsibility to show leadership and vision, but has cobbled together an unimaginative proposal lacking both, and copping out by passing it off as "listened to members" An example of an alternative is at http://tinyurl.com/wce9 73, de Hans, K0HB |
