 I can agree with you on a lot of what you said. except for the BPL issue. 
 the ARRL might have started the fight but they are very lame in what they 
 can and are doing. you can check records. Who will stop BPL will be 
 Homeland Security and FEMA. These Government agencies are the real heavy 
 weights in the fight. All that any member has asked the ARRL to do is 
 listen to them. THEY HAVE NOT. The BOD met and were GIVEN the new plan by 
 the CEO and his committee. the BOD did NOT ask the membership how they felt 
 as they are required to do in the bylaws. yes they may be the only game in 
 town but it is time we changed the players in that game and show the CEO 
 and his gang that a recall of directors is in order and that THEY will need 
 to start listening to the membership

I agree that change in the ARRL Directorships is needed, but that would 
require the type of widespread grass-roots action that I don't see forthcoming from 
most members.  In my own section, we have a SM who gets re-elected unopposed 
every two years, but hasn't even updated his Section News on the ARRL website 
for four month period between October '03 and February '04.  We get the 
leadership we pay for, and it would seem that we're not paying very much in terms of 
the individual member's commitment to change.  I don't have the answers; if 
anyone else does, I'm listening!
