[Anthony W. DePrato]

>Well I got into it over the cw issue a few years back with the ARRL 
>leadership. I have been a member since 1962 and watched it go from a 
>great Org. to a bunch of self centered creeps. I was even sent a 
>copy of an email telling the state SM to pull my appointment because 
>I did not agree with doing away with the cw requirement. I was a 
>trouble maker and NOT a TEAM PLAYER. hi hi... yep they are correct i 
>am not on their team. I even told one guy how to start a RECALL. man 
>did that start flames. I just gave up as i knew they did not have 
>the best interests of Ham Radio at Heart. just What they wanted and 
>needed to sell radios and keep the big money rolling in for their 
>little trips. They want the computer world tied to ham radio and 
>became one and the same in the long run. My only question is WHY do 
>we not get a group to run in each section and state and back them to 
>replace this bunch. I really think that the AM and CW groups have 
>more then enough votes to do it. but then again the POWER MONGERS 
>count the votes
