[RTTY] ARRL 2nd Century Campaign reply

[GEJ]

I've always wondered about the same thing, Gary: they're having lots of fun 
now; but if (hopefully not "when") that 11708 monster gets approved... the 
fun will be over. Big time!

We MUST keep fighting this thing. And we should watch other things too: I 
saw in the June QST issue that "they" all of a sudden don't want to call us 
emergency communicators; but rather "public servants". OK, semantics; but... 
really? There's a big difference, when it comes to the public's view of that 
term. What the heck is going on in Newington??

73,

Erik - K5WW
