Subj : ARRL Welcomes Kevin Beal, K8EAL, as the Director of Development To : ARRL de WD1CKS From : Oldbieone Date : Fri Feb 24 2023 06:01 am Re: ARRL Welcomes Kevin Beal, K8EAL, as the Director of Development By: ARRL de WD1CKS to QST on Thu Feb 23 2023 03:30 pm Tired of ARRL continually going balls-deep into EMCOMM. There's more to Amateur Radio than fat old wannabe-first-responders with orange lights on their cars or trucks and retroreflective red and black stickers all over them....... That's why membership has and will continue to dwindle even though there are more people coming into the hobby again. I know ARRL has bet the farm on EMCOMM as a way to protect spectrum space, but damnit, people, you're losing the radio community by making it your only focus of late. --- þ Synchronet þ .: realitycheckbbs.org :: scientia potentia est :. .
