Kelly, this is exactly the sort of reassurance we are looking for, and that
was strikingly absent from reports on the Board meeting. If there had been
direction to ARRL staff to "increase non-line score copy in QST," as there
was in the case of the Section News, then I would have zero complaint about
the outcome. Perhaps one of those ARRL luminaries would offer a statement
of ARRL's intentions in this respect, and put the issue to rest (except, of
course, for the requirement that we get busy writing).
