[RTTY] Is it just me?

[Jim AC0E]

Jay, Jamie & group,

I have no problem believing someone just dropped the ball. With the 
uproar the past year concerning RTTY/Digital, ARRL, and the fiasco that 
RM-11708 has turned into I think a reasonable person ( I just love that 
lawyer phrase of my ex/wife the lawyer) could see very small chasm to 
bridge. I stand corrected.

I will say for the record (love that one also!) that Amateur Radio is 
more than "just a hobby" for me and many many of my fellow Amateurs.

I was thinking maybe a Dayton style button with RM-11708 on it with the 
red circle and diagonal line through it wearing that would generate 
plenty of heartburn and create conversation with the uninformed . 
Especially while wearing my call sign shirt and ARRL Life Member badge.. 8-)
