[Elecraft] ARRL RTTY Roundup

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

I have been a long time member of the ARRL, but I'm begining to think the 
same way. Are they really supporting the operating that I do? I really don't 
know. But, I'm more inclined to think they are headed down a road that I 
don't want to follow.

Best,
DW Holtman
