[Boatanchors] QST Resizing

[Michael Poteet]

I have a QST subscription (Digital) which I no longer read but I do support
the ARRL.  I contribute a few dollars to them every year.  In our society
we need a voice that can present our story, protect our interests.    I
doubt anyone currently covets our HF spectrum or even 6 and 2 meters but
who is to say that Google isn't going to announce an All Earth Internet
Service using all the frequencies between 3.5 MHz and 28 MHz?   "We don't
need no stinkin satellites".   It matters not whether you read QST but
support the ARRL.  Either the cheap way as I do with money or, better, with
your active participation.  If you have a gripe the best way to get your
issue on the agenda is through participation in the organization not by
meeting on 3.875 MHz.
