[RFI] ARRL Board of Directors resolution related to FCC enforcement of radio-interference issues

[Roger (K8RI)]

There are those who have said they are not interested in hearing my 
political view of the FAA but that view determines whether the FCC will 
even consider a note from the ARRL.  I sincerely hope they not only take 
it into consideration, but act on it.  We need the "old FCC" back.  
Unfortunately it appears they are expected to do more with fewer people.
