If I had a Wouff Hong.

It's MUCH more effective if you DO NOT subscribe to QST, support their advertisers, and discourage any potential membersfrom joining. Deprive them of their dues paying members and watch em' scream. Make sure you tell the ham stores that you will not patronize them if they appear in QST or support ARRL, and tell them why. The days of the Wouff Hong are LONG GONE. Denying them their primary sources of revenue is FAR MORE EFFECTIVE! |

I see from the ARRL site that the rettysnitch is a separate enforcement tool,
also "invented" by T.O.M. Now... Where did I put that Royal Order of the Wouff Hong certificate I got a half century ago? Bill, K5BY |

I doubt that they'd let you borrow it...... One could easily be fabricated from a piece of old wood. "Old plow handles" etc.. I would not sand the device. It's much more effective when the splinters are functional. I've heard tell fleet brand enemas are based on the original Wouff Hong design. Not as glamorous as machine gun design, but useful none the less. MK |

HA I bailed out of the ARRL 14 years ago when it started to become clear that the Leagues agenda was tending more toward a policy of supporting lower licensing stardards (CB'er Ham). A pool of trained, capable radio operators means something to me and I could no longer stand to be a part of an organization that was moving to disregard that section of Part 97. It was a life membership too. |

Me, too, for the same reason and at about the same time. I got a good dialog going with the head of ARRL's Comm Dept., in regard to the ARES being out of step with contemporary times. About the time he agreed with me and started planning changes, he was transferred to another department. As a result, ARRL still thinks hauling a 20M beam to the top of a mountain is practice for a national emergency. In fact, contesters do NOT make good emergency operators. Bill, K5BY |

It was a life membership too. Ham radio started going into the toilet shortly after Dick Bash published his infamous "study guides". Later after the ARRL went crying to the FCC to publish the question pools (to put Dick Bash out of business because *his books* were out-selling the ARRL study guides 10 to 1 at hamfests and mail order) it sealed the "initial cycle of dumbing down" for Amateur Radio - and we are now where we are today as a DIRECT result of the same. All because *one ham* in Alaska managed to singlehandedly 'step on the proverbial toes of a publishing company' in Newington Conn. and in their response, they decided to not only throw out the baby with the bathwater, but also rip the tub out of the wall and toss it out the 2nd story window... These are the true facts of the matter. |
