My recomendations:
Maintain your ARRL membership, or join if you are not a member. Write to
your ARRL director and tell him how important you believe CW is to ham
radio. ARRL has definitely done some things that we do not like, yet
they are still doing some important things for the protection of our
spectrum. Such as their setting the record straight and getting out
accurate information about BPL.
Join FISTS. Submit comments to the FCC in support of their proposal.
Tell your ARRL director about it.
Steer any prospective ham away from W5YI memorization guides, burn any
that you can get your hands on. At least ARRL study guides encourage
comprehension and understanding of the principals, not just memorizing
the right answers. Participate in the VE process by being a VE.
