Sorry I won't consider any of them Bob. The day the ARRL closes its doors
Amateur
Radio will follow. I may not agree with everything the league does but I am
still
a supporting member! The best idea is to contact your director. If you don't
have one pick on and contact them.
Yes I write for the league. If I didn't, I still support the overall direction
of
the ARRL. With out them we'd be with out our hobby because no other
organization
in the US will be there to do so.

PS by the way Trey, N5KO, and company are leaving the Falklands today heading
for
South Sandwich.
