Send Comments to the ARRL on RM11305 and RM11306 Too.

If I may suggest, in addition to filing comments on RM11305 and RM11306 to the FCC send comments to the ARRL and let them know where you stand on these issues too.

Long, long ago in a galaxy far away...   I dropped the ARRL like a bad habit. They don't
speak for me, and I don't speak to THEM. I haven't communicated with the League since
1970...   and that was to drop my membership in protest.

I find it amusing that once or twice a year I get something in the mail inviting me to come
back to the fold.

For my money, the ARRL hasn't done anything good for ham radio since the early 1960s.
Nowadays, they're like a Congressman; for sale to the highest bidder.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why I would bother sending my Comments to  the ARRL.
What would it accomplish? Their attorney is responsible for sorting through what will be filed with the FCC in opposition to the Petition he wrote and submitted.  He also is responsible for filing any Comment that the group in Newington may wish to utter about RM-11305, the latest proposal that steps around the League from people who feel left out of their process.

The strongest message we can send to the people at the National Association for Amateur Radio (their other trade name, used mostly as they lobby Congress) is to continue to step around their disagreeable schemes, proposals and political maneuvers and submit rational, practical, effective ideas from time to time.

Let them find out, as they have learned with many FCC decisions the past few years, that people are thinking on their own these days, and that the ARRL is losing the franchise to "represent" ham radio. That's the most effective pressure we can place if we hope to change this moribund little group.

But I'll bet sending copies to SMs and division directors would be fun, knowing they'd be pissing about the sudden influx of stuff - even if they just delete it which would be telling.

The ARRL can read the comments off of the FCC Comment Filing lists like everyone else, if they want to.

Good points.  I need to learn to think out of the box occasionally.
