[SixClub] ARRL needs to wake up ......

[jim]

been doing some research on this hsmm 50 mhz nightmare.  don't know many of 
you belong to the QRZ forum, but here is some good info.  beware one of 
these threads is 13 pages long ,.....  lots of info 
http://www.qrz.com/ib-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=4fde0f707e3b03bee75cab8229471eae;act=ST;f=3;t=131586;hl=hsmm 
this is a great thread,   pay attention to ab0wr post of sept 07 2006.

there are a couple more threads on same subject there , just do a search for 
HSMM.

looks like i'm going to have to join SPAR also.

also, it seems that the ARRL and the HSMM types have had a "falling out" 
.... thats why the ARRL site links to HSMM don't "work"
