OT: [SixClub] Survey Poll

[Doug Huchteman]

I love getting QSL cards too but I think that electronic QSL's may well be 
the wave of the future and possibly the end of that grand old tradition.  I 
guess I need to get hooked back into the LOTW system but I'll always respond 
to a mailed QSL card and hope that others will too.

As for the ARRL, they do have their faults, but back in 2003 when Oklahoma 
Gas and Electric refused to fix the hardware that was causing me too much 
noise to work anyone on 6 meters it was the ARRL that got in their face for 
me and got action.  For that I'll happily pay my dues each year.

Don't worry about it Joey.  We love to argue, you're doing fine.
