Howard, They are elected by a minority of a minority of a minority. And then they don't listen to the people they claim to represent. They claim to represent ALL amateurs (see QST) but only want to listen to ARRL members. What a joke.
Each of us follows our own path, Howard. Just because some of us aren't in a position to run for ARRL office doesn't mean our voices should not be heard. Your challaenge is meaningless. In an organization willing to listen change can occur from without as well as from within. If they aree not willing to listen then they will have to put up with the criticisms they receive. tim ab0wr On Thursday 01 December 2005 23:01, Dr. Howard S.
