ARRL promised that the memebrrs would be polled first.  Division Directors
each made similar commitments to the membership.  I would like to see which
Div Directors polled the members.

Also as to licensing requirements, do you believe your Div. Director to be
in the pro-CW, ant-CW or neutral camp?  Pro-dumbing, anti-dumbing, or
neutral camp.

So, lets have a "check in" - Please state

1. ARRL member? Yes/No
2. ARRL Division or your state if you don't know the Div.
3. Where you polled by the Div. Director? Yes/No

CWLIST DE N5LF QNI K...

I will start:

N5LF
ARRL Member (since 1976)
Roanoke Div.  -
NO POLL

I believe the Roanoke director is Neutral to Anti- on CW and Pro-Dumbing
down.

Roanoke Div Director said he got his snapshot of the division's members'
views from his e-mails.  As to a poll, he said that one was on the web
site -- but I think he is referreing to the one that the bogus Web Page poll
the ARRL posted a few of weeks ago then withdrew when it was swamped my
anti-code multiple votes...by the same few individuals.

No one I have spoken to in my Division knew of any polling.  Therefore even
if the Roanoke Division posted a poll, they didn't publicize it.  However, I
do not believe they had a Division poll -- not even a request for e-mailed
comments to the Div. Director.
