Brian:

I have to admit I am a lifetime member and I would send my dues even if 
I weren't a lifetime member.

I understand your frustration but quiting and walking away has never 
been the right answer.  That doesn't resolve whatever the problem is 
and it certainly doesn't make you, the person walking away, feel any 
better.

I'll stay with the ARRL and support them whenever I can and I'll be 
critical of them and to them when it's necessary, but I will not quit 
them.  When I consider how they have protected amateur radio over the 
past oiften standing against the huge giant called the FCC, they've 
done just fine.

Count me with them. 


Dave, W8QW
