Re: [AMRadio] Re: ARRL Director explains IARU bandplan to the ignorant
The word ignorant is usually, and in this context definitely, used as a derisive term. This letter and its mode of influence delivery leaves quite a bit to be desired. I agree that the ARRL negotiators should receive many requests to expand the use of those little asterisks, to include 160 meters, and more areas of 75, 40, etc. If it doesn't matter, then there should be no problem. I'm just hoping that nobody takes anything to the Supreme Court again. In the past, that turned out to be less than helpful.

RE: [AMRadio] Re: ARRL Director explains IARU bandplan to the ignorant
In an open letter to Mr. Sumner and his staff I invited them to participate in a live Webinar at my expense to accept questions from the membership and explain their activities in regards to this ongoing issue. I was clear that it would be no expense to the ARRL and my engineering staff would set up the portal and publish the login address to the membership. To date Mr. Sumner nor anyone on his staff or directors have accepted my invitation which raises and even more ominous question as to why they will not explain this issue in an open forum. Their condescending rhetoric and contempt for we ignorant members is unacceptable. According to the ARRL bylaws, we the members can a recall of the entire team and replace them.

Re: [AMRadio] Re: ARRL Director explains IARU bandplan to the ignorant
I believe only the Directors and Vice-Directors are subject to a recall. 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.

RE: [AMRadio] Re: ARRL Director explains IARU bandplan to the ignorant
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.
