"KØHB" wrote in message ink.net... The growth in numbers of Amateurs over the past decade has been overwhelmingly via the Technician license. This segment of the Amateur population does not seem highly attracted to ARRL membership, nor affiliate with the "national association" nature of ARRL. That's because most new hams can recognize a garden variety classic New England "mutual admiration society" of wannabe blue-bloods who's only reason for existence is to maintain their monuments to the past which nobody cares about anymore and to keep a magazine going which is composed of 80% advertising. Face it boys. the ARRL blew it BIG TIME when they had the chance to eliminate the dammed Code for HF way back in the early 1980's with the "Plain Language" rewrite of the amateur rules. Today most of the ham fossils who opposed this are either in their graves or waiting to expire and we're stuck with an obsolete hobby as a result. Thanks boys! (posthumously) |
