[Mldxcc] ARRL President Rick Roderick K5UR Responds to your letters and emails

[Jerry Olive]

I’ve been following this issue closely and was disappointed by the response by ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR.  His remarks were condescending and verbose.  I felt like he was talking down to me in his letter.  He restated many of the same things already published and didn’t address accusations organized misinformation with anything useful or supportive of his position.  

 

Is it possible to get him on a conference call or Skype somehow?  Perhaps it’s too late for that.

To fellow NCCC, NCDXC, MLDXCC members:

K5UR's statement characterizes our effort as "an organized misinformation campaign," but he provides no specific examples of such misinformation or false statements.  If you find a provably false statement anywhere on myARRLvoice.org, please send a note to webmaster at myarrlvoice.org <mailto:webmaster at myarrlvoice.org>  so it can be corrected.

 

The Board does many things in secret, well beyond the short list of examples he provides.  In the Minutes of the ARRL Board <http://www.arrl.org/board-meetings> , every time the Board votes to go into a "Committee of the Whole" or "Executive Session," that's a secret part of the meeting that is not documented by the minutes.  That's appropriate when discussing investment plans or ARRL employee issues, but completely inappropriate when discussing the future of an elected director (who is not an employee), or the future of the ARRL organization itself (such a proposal to eliminate all Vice Directors).

 

K5UR is up for re-election as ARRL President (voted by a majority of the Board) in about 3 days.  If re-elected, he will serve another 2 year term (unless or until he resigns).




73,

Bob, N6TV
