Thanks. Active HAM since 1979, was an ARRL member for only a few years. They did very little for me. Perhaps I can re-join if it looks worth it.

I gave up when they took code out of the requirements. I had to pass their dameed theory. Started handing out 2 MTR tickets like lottery tickets. Lost my support. (Wx9B)

Screw reform and go pirate.

Keep your transmissions short, on legal bands, respectful and infrequent.

A person can operate quite effectively that way and you don't have to worry about the government taking your toys away at some future date.

Screw the ARRL. Overpriced insiders club.

Been licensed since 1963 as a teenager (yeah, I’m that old). Extra class license and ARRL life member. I had to do it the hard way and test at FCC offices.

Current system is much better and I applaud the removal of the CW requirement - gets more people interested. The license question pool is available from many sources and easy to memorize. Should be a cakewalk for anyone to get a General class license.

I’m missing the issue. The ARRL is simply a resource for me. What am I supposed to be upset with them for?

-.-

For a second there, I thought the USDA was order a recall of all hams at the behest of the MoHAM-MADmen.

[Zeppo]

So, what is the real agenda behind this?

[backwoods-engineer]

has become a secretive club with its own agenda.

Please provide evidence.

Have been an ARRL members for years. Ham since 1982.

Wayne Green held the ARRL in lower esteem than he did the communists.

Great guy..sad he’s gone.... World’s Smartest Crackpot!

I punched out when they dropped code requirements. All about ‘progression’. I call BS. All about swelling the ranks with Tech licenses while those of us that busted our asses to get to 13 or 21wpm get screwed. Screw the ARRL. And I have no intention of advertising my call here.
