[SECC] [SEDXC] K4GA

[Dan/W4NTI]

Man there is an understatement if I ever heard one.  The FCC and the ARRL 
are corrupt.  Believe me folks it ain't just in callsign stuff either.

How about RH pulling people out of the database with NO LEGAL GROUNDS AT 
ALL?

Or how about ARRL AND FCC FLAT REFUSING to follow the rules regarding power 
line noise?

Corrupt is a nice word compaired to what contempt I hold both organizations 
in now.
