Joe,
RE: ARRL and National Association for Amateur Radio
I understand your concern about confusion with the name, but I would
only question the capital letters,
because the name American Radio Relay League is a bit quaint. When I
was first license in 1959 it did not
seem to be all that relevant to the actual role of the national
organization, even though I even made BPL once.
While traffic WAS relayed at the time, it was such a small percentage of
what hams do and needed in a national
organization, that the name seemed inadequate at best. And certainly
difficult to explain to non-hams.
In 2016 the name is even less relevant to what the role of the national
organization is now about.
While I am a traditionalist in many senses of the word, I would not be
against the ARRL changing their name
to better reflect what it is they are and what they do.
Just google "National Association for Amateur Radio" and you will see it
reference the ARRL and used to
explain what the ARRL actually is not only on social media but by the
ARRL itself.
2 cents worth.

"National Association for Amateur Radio" Who the heck is that? I guess he
means the ARRL.
I know! I know!
The gist of the story is the RFI we have been dealing with, is now being
used by the police to find illegal grows, which, once word gets out, could
be a big boon to us...HEH, the farms will shut down and in the end, quiet
radio returns to our communities!
