[RTTY] RTTY RM 11708 in ARRL BOD

[Dave Barr]

Here's item 51 (with my underlining):

WHEREAS the Board of Directors has received *_inquiries_***concerning RM
-11708 (the symbol rate petition); and
WHEREAS it is imperative that the Board of Directors *_inform_* our 
membership in a uniform and comprehensive manner;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the ARRL Board of Directors instructs staff to 
immediately
prepare a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), along with *_their_* 
answers concerning RM-11708 and place these FAQ onto arrl.org with a 
*_static_* link on the home page for the pendency of RM-11708
------------------------
"Inquiries" is not the best word to define disagreements and 
suggestions.  Opponents are not *asking* for anything other than a delay 
in any rule making in this area.   Perhaps we should post some FAQs too.

"Inform" us ignorant digital types.  Not a give-and-take atmosphere 
here.   It's imperial, errr... imperative.

"Their" answers.  Well, maybe out of context, but the answers certainly 
will be theirs...  but who are they /really/?

"Static".  I love this.  Unchanging in the conservative sense, listening 
to no one's concerns, or the interference that static often causes.

Item 47 goes hand in hand with item 51, showing a complete disregard for 
two way communication.  Oh, isn't that what amateur radio is all about 
(except for W1AW).
