This is the second message of concern about happenings at the ARRL. I must be living in a cave because I have no idea what the heck is going on and what these ARRL actions are. Does somebody care to enlighten those of us in the dark?

Subject: [Mldxcc] Sent a Letter to ARRL

I sent my comments today to Lauren Clarke KB1YDD, the current ARRL Development Manager, with cc to all directors in the list recently distributed on this reflector plus CEO NY2RF. I said I will make no further donations and that I am taking them out of my living trust (like a will). I told them how awful I believe the gag order and censure action are and I explained my business/board credentials and my history with respect to ARRL. I expect no response since the gag order (Code of Conduct) explicitly prohibits such ... and that's the point of all this controversy. My language was fairly strong but less so than in my first draft.  I think it fairly reflected the gravity of their ill-advised actions. I am somewhat concerned about possible retribution and I expect to be persona non grata in Newington for the rest of my life. I regret that, having been a friend of the League for over half a century, but I think they need to hear these things from many if they are ever to realize how grievously wrong they are on this one. I will remain a life member and hope to see a tidal change in their attitude, policies and actions during that life, not because of what I said but because of how many others say similar things.
