That piece of information is necessary to get an insight into the problem. I didn't find it on the web site. Of course I don't have a lot of time this morning. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Carl works as a consulting engineer for commercial firms which have interests in the millimeter end of the spectrum which could be in conflict with our interests in the ham bands which are also in that part of the spectrum. The ARRL bylaws state that anybody in that type of position cannot become a member of the BoD. The problem is that the League has conveniently winked that provision in the bylaws several times in the past and has allowed others in Carl's position to become Directors. hypocrisy taken to a new level. That piece of information is necessary to get an insight into the problem. I didn't fi= nd it on the web site. Of course I don't have a lot of time this morning. =20 Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Carl works as a consulting engineer for commercial firms which have interests in the millimeter end of the spectrum which could be in conflict with our interests in the ham bands which are also in that part of the spectrum. What you mean "millimeter end of the spectrum which could be in 'conflict with our interests' in the ham bands"? Since WHEN has there been any "great interest" in the World Above 30 MHz to the League? The core membership of the League is interested only in "working DX on HF with CW." :-) The core membership doesn't seem to care dink about any World Above 30 MHz. They wanna play in the HF sandbox, same as they did a half century ago. Nothing has changed. Status quo uber alles. Find me some articles of "great interest in millimeter bands" allocated to amateur radio by the FCC. Who in here has EVER worked up in the millimeter bands? Who in here has EVER worked any ham bands above 70 cm? [besides using a 1 GHz cell phone or 2.4 GHz cordless telephone?] The ARRL bylaws state that anybody in that type of position cannot become a member of the BoD. The problem is that the League has conveniently winked that provision in the bylaws several times in the past and has allowed others in Carl's position to become Directors. hypocrisy taken to a new level. It would be informative to see some resumes of the work experience of the Directors and the BoD of the League. Pres. Jim Haynie was a salesman. [should be a clue right there, ey?] How about the "other" pres., Dave Sumner? That piece of information is necessary to get an insight into the problem. I didn't f= ind it on the web site. Of course I don't have a lot of time this morning. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE I found it extremely EASY to obtain all the details on Carl's website. Just a couple of mouse clicks while reading this in Google. The same with checking out the League's web site to see the "announcement" of the candidates for Division. At NIGHT, when I first saw Carl's message on Google. Well, let's get a membership drive going, right? "Join and CHANGE THE LEAGUE FROM 'WITHIN'!" Free, open, democratic principle stuff. Uh huh. :-)=20 |
