[CW] ARRL refused to support code requirement

[Nancy WZ8C]

I talked to the VEC at ARRL HQ and finally got a straight answer -- they abstained from voting at the VEC conference that Maia referred to in his petition.  

That has the same effect of not supporting the code requirement, since they knew it would allow Maia to truthfully say there was no opposition among the VEC's to eliminating the requirement.  The ARRL couldn't come right out and vote to eliminate it because it would cause too much of an uproar among the ham community, so they took the weasel way out.
