[Fists] ARRL Divisions' Poll (NOT!)

[Trevor Jacobs]

Ok...let's see:

1. Yes
2. South Western - Los Angeles,California
3. Hell No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think our Div. Director should be impeached just
like all the other lousy politicians out here (Oxymoron...are there any good
ones?). I rarely (maybe once a year) get an e-mail from this guy...I say
Impeach the guy and get someone in touch with "ACTIVE" Amateur Radio Ops.

Further, for those sections that did get polled, I don't think that anyone
without the CW element should have been able to vote. If someone were going
to hand me free bandwidth, I'd sure vote yes!

I don't think that the ARRL is doing a good job representing it's
membership. They don't even ask our opinion before they come up with a
proposal! More ARRL members means more $$$ in their pockets...

Off my soap box...
