[Mldxcc] [NCCC] CQ Magazine Questions ARRL re. Code of Conduct and Censure of N6AA

[Dennis Moore]

Is this nothing more than a hiccup in the 100+ year history of the ARRL? 
This can't be the first time they've been faced with inner turmoil and 
pissed-off members. It's not time for them to go, and two organizations 
would have their own agendas. One defending spectrum, one pushing for 
HOA regs or increased spectrum, etc. etc. etc. Which one gets to bend 
the senator's ear this week? Whose desired legislation deserves more 
attention? We need the ARRL to represent us, not CQ. They can't meet a 
publishing deadline let alone lead the way for another national 
organization to represent the hams in this country.

As W1SRD mentioned, we need a message to HQ. Not limiting it to just the 
revocation of the censure, but a strong message from an association of 
ARRL-affiliated clubs about what we are seeing, and what we would like 
to see happen at HQ. First thing is to pull NY2RF's head out of the sand 
so he sees what's going on. Unless he does already see and he's too 
arrogant to do what's right.

Could be done.  Probably not time yet to actually do it…. but probably it is time to be lining up the players.  Newington needs to believe to believe that a credible alternative organization is a distinct possibility.  The best way to get them to believe it is for it to be 100% true.
