[Ham-Mac] My new letter to ARRL

[Mike Carter]

Do we know for sure that their acts were indeed "shameless" and were=20
done solely to meet their expectations? If so, I can understand the=20
inflammatory nature of this email, well, to a degree. I haven't seen=20
any evidence at all yet. If there is some, lets get it posted. What I=20
do recall is that our numbers jumped a great deal over a short period=20
of time, and that there was talk on this board (a public board) of=20
putting out the word about the poll. Let's be sure before we rattle the=20=

saber with ARRL that we have our house in order and the evidence on the=20=

table, lest we cast doubt on our own credibility.

Just my 2=A2 worth..
