[SEDXC] [SECC] ARRL Election

[Jeff Carter]

Yeah, let's remember that nothing in the world is more important than who wins 
the ARRL election.  Why, the entire nation is sitting on pins and needles.  
By all means, let's abandon our sense of perspective and start being asses to 
one another over it, because after all doing so *is* currently the American 
Way and nothing is more American than Ham Radio.  Except, of course, when 
it's not.  I think that is what DXCC is all about, there are other countries 
or something like that.  Or so I've heard.  Not like I can hear them with 
current band conditions or anything.  I'm taking everybody's word for it, 
because Hams are gentlemen and wouldn't lie about a thing like that, except 
on 14.275 MHz which was apparently allocated by IARU for such things.

Anyway, I took an informal straw poll, asking ten people at random who was 
going to win the ARRL election.  The response was unanimous: All ten people 
responded, "What the hell is an ARRL?"

Longtime member that never, ever votes in these things due to an abundance of 
apathy with a just a twist of cynicism (for all I know, Charleton Heston is 
running and I for one would welcome him, he almost made the NRA interesting. 
Almost.  Just to be safe, though, I think if he wins that he should agree to 
spare us the QST victory centerfold.  I think I speak for all of us when I 
say I don't need to see that.)
