Do you get the impression that the ARRL has always been lagging behind
dragging their feet and slow to grasp the many advances in our hobby
that lie ahead? This is evidenced by their collective inability to make
needed upgrades to programs and contest rules. A perfect example is the
ARRL 160 meter contest which clearly punishes stations located in the
U.S. Territories by counting them as ARRL states rather than DX like
they really are. Many have begged and pleaded for change by following
the suggested procedures of writing the CAC and Directors for nearly two
decades. All attempts are ignored and everything remains the same. Why
does this not surprise you?

While the horse and carriage still exist very few use them.
I am sorry you feel badly about ham radio as we have had some very
amazing advances....Weak signal programs are amazing.

I don't really care anymore. The Amateur Radio that I grew up with,
and loved,
is gone forever. Thanks to the ARRL and the FCC, it has been "dumbed
down"
and deregulated to the point where it's just another Citizens Band.
