Hans,

Please accept my public apology for my insult to you (a number of years past).


Perhaps a leopard can change his spots.

I have changed my view of the ARRL ... in fact, I became a Life Member.

If you read my Candidate Statement (a 2 page .pdf) which is available via a
link from my website at http://home.ptd.net/~wk3c,
you'll see that I've come to believe that a strong and inclusive ARRL is
important to the future of ham radio.

I even have developed good relations with Dave Sumner, Ed Hare, and some of
the other staffers and personally consider them to be a friends.

Yes, my views towards the ARRL have changed *considerably* over the past
years.

Thanks Carl. And thanks for the pleasant phone call this afternoon. Wish we
could have talked longer, but we had just arrived at the MN State Fair, and
needed the phone to coordinate arrival of two or three parties who were joining
us there.

I wish you success in your quest for a seat on the ARRL BoD, as whatever
differences we've had in the past, we both passionately agree on the need to
refurbish the tinkerer/experimenter/technical nature of our Amateur Radio
Service. ARRL needs to lead that effort.

Good luck es 73,
