The ARRL is just like our elected officials, they
listen to the ones with the money to put in their pockets until election time
the they all come out of the wood work. This bandwidth thing needs to be settled
by the ITU/IARU world wide. Amateur Radio is world wide and all countries
should be on the same page. The ARRL should "NOT" be a governing body to set
rules, regulations, bandwidths and all.
Now if anyone thinks mode by bandwidth is the way
to go, then just wait until it happens and see what happens to the automatic
station. They will be scanning all of the frequencies by their bandwidth and
that will include the RTTY sections. You don't know what QRM means until that
happens.
Now for this Winlink thing where Joe Blow is out in
is sailboat and wants to check is email is a bunch of junk. This should not be
allowed in amateur radio. If he has an emergency then that is different.
Emergency is defined if a threat to life and/or property exist. Checking email
or sending emails to say I am having a ball in my sail boat is just junk. I saw
on one winlink where the party says he handled thousands of messages per month.
I just wonder how many of those messages were worth the time it took to type
them???
My soapbox!!

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.
