Sooner or later you all will realize what a stuffed shirt, politically motivated, immovable organization the ARRL is. Once in awhile they may do something huge to win you over to becoming a member to show their "support" to the Amateur Operator, but it's just their political hold as they grab you by your RF Balls for another year's membership full of empty promises to fill their pockets.

The Ham bands are full of great things and diversified interests. It's unfortunate that if you want a National Organization to represent you, there's only one. 73 Magazine used to be their competition with a radical, more understandable, and friendlier approach to organization in Ham Radio. Wayne Green (if he's still alive) was a royal pain in the ass to everyone trying to take over, and I enjoyed his ways so much.

Hey if you don't like what the ARRL is doing for you, visit your friends at HamSuxy dot com at their booth in Dayton. Maybe that same fat slob that jumped in front of the news camera was elected president and will take a moment out of his time and truck driving job to help you with your Ham Radio issues.
