I just wish the League would be transparent enough to tell us what
the hell they are doing. Either we or the league are completely
wrong on this thing.
Since the League are supposed to be representing *US* and it is not
chartered in Putin's Russia, it is obvious that the League's "Staff
and Management" - including its CEO who has put his name to most of
the BS in print - are dead wrong and need to be replaced.

Carter,
I agree with you 100%. I find that the business angle of ham radio
(including its lobbying arm) is so small that almost every company is 1 or
2 bad quarters away from closing its doors. Equipment manufacturers
(outside of Flex and Elecraft) are in the ham business, not for windfall
projects, but because it costs very little for them to take their existing
technology and sell it to us.
Dennis Bodson, one of the two supporting directors, is one of my customers
and I have worked with him a lot over the past 2-3 years. I would be
incredibly surprised if he is "following the money" and I sincerely doubt
there is any money to follow. He is a very humble, friendly and gracious
person.
So what is the game going on?
When I read the "robot response" FAQs, its almost like they are talking
about a completely different proposal than the one we are fighting.
Thinking cynically (and its hard not to), they could be feeding us the FAQs
to convince us we don't have a clue whats going on.
I don't like to think cynically so it must be something I just do not see.
For sure, the two directors pushing this have a very hard road for
reelection.
I just wish the League would be transparent enough to tell us what the hell
they are doing. Either we or the league are completely wrong on this thing.

I don't want to start an ARRL rant thread but when I came to understand
this I dropped my ARRL membership. Yes I know about the argument that you
can't change how the ARRL operates if you are not a member. But I just
don't buy that logic as the ARRL does not listen to it's membership no
matter what.
Nothing is perfect, not even the ARRL.
Nothing is all black or all white.
You say you quit the ARRL because you disagreed with them on -an- issue.
Do you really expect them to agree with you (and you with them) 100% of the
time on every issue?
Even though you may disagree with them on -this- issue, I would
respectfully submit that the ARRL, in general, does a lot of good for ham
radio.
Like it or not, they are the only game in town, the only national
organization we have...and IMHO, deserving of our support.
Just my 2 cents...
