[Fists] ARRL Divisions' Poll (NOT!)

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 14:44:08 -0500

Well, I received my "request for donation to W1AW" this week from the
ARRL Foundation.  Seems the station is getting a little worn out and
they want us to help revive it.  My reply:  "Your position on No-Code
licensing makes it impossible to contribute.  Why save a building when
the ham tradition is dying and You are the one who's pulling the
trigger."

Wonder if it will make any impact at all??

| My answers just the same as Fred's. Back when the NCVEC 
| voted, and the ARRL 
| Representative abstained, I wrote my Director, and the ARRL 
| President. I 
| received a nasty response from the President, telling me 
| "cool my jets," and 
| the "Don't sweat it." I received no response from Bernie. I

| 
| The ARRL has been sniveling, sneaky and dishonest with this 
| issue. They talk 
| out of both sides of their mouths.
