Thanks for your observations. All they (The ARRL) has to do is respond to my free offer of a Webinar to explain their position to the membership. So far all I see is more condescending responses about how "WE" the members need to be better educated. I believe my fellow Amateurs who enjoy AM and Vintage equipment are more intelligent than that.

A proposal is required, along with at least 10% of the membership in that Division signing and dating the petition. After the petition is validated, a ballot is prepared and a vote must be taken of the membership in that entire Division (Recall - Yes or No). The paid staff isn't subject to the recall ruling. Also, you said: "we "ignorant" members" But, he(Director) really said: "very few ignorant people" It doesn't sound like he was categorizing the entire AM community. But then again, I. you, they, etc. can sometimes be ignorant to the true meaning of someone's written intent especially if it's worded poorly.
