Jay, Jamie & group,
I have no problem believing someone just dropped the ball. With the
uproar the past year concerning RTTY/Digital, ARRL, and the fiasco that
RM-11708 has turned into I think a reasonable person ( I just love that
lawyer phrase of my ex/wife the lawyer) could see very small chasm to
bridge. I stand corrected.
I will say for the record (love that one also!) that Amateur Radio is
more than "just a hobby" for me and many many of my fellow Amateurs.
I was thinking maybe a Dayton style button with RM-11708 on it with the
red circle and diagonal line through it wearing that would generate
plenty of heartburn and create conversation with the uninformed .
Especially while wearing my call sign shirt and ARRL Life Member badge.. 8-)

The RTTY forum wasn't cancelled at all. Someone failed to renew it.
That has happened before and Shelby K4WW can tell you what an effort
it is to make sure to get on the Dayton list every year. Dale Sinner
before him. All of this stuff is new to someone and its just a hobby
and it didn't get done.
Conspiracy theories indeed. And the Razor is right. "the simpler one
is the better" someone just forgot.
Its just like the RTTY dinners, when someone was doing the hotel, the
dinners, the forum for guys it was a huge success. Once those people
stopped so did all but the forum which Shelby kept going for years.
Thanks Shelby!
Everyone should enjoy the new RTTY dinner and thank those that put in
the work to do it all. Tell all of them thank you.
Wish I was going to be there. W7RY just get on a earlier flight!
