Figured it out after 33 years of paying dues

      I finially applied my formula for keeping ARRL from mis-using my dues for dumbass makework CB radio type new world order proposals. Some of the pro-ARRL folks who post here helped put me over the top. The clincher was recently seeing what happens with their election process and how they apply rules differently depending on wheather one is a CW supporter or not. I have seen the light brothers.

Wow Dave wasn't it under $200 to become a lifer back then.

That's a lot of money for someone who is 10 years old. No one else in my family knew a ham radio from a toaster either.
