does anyone know why there isn't a specific badge for ordinary members? they have specific colored badges for twelve categories of people, and none of them are ordinary members ...

green, blue, orange, light green, light blue, rust, brown, purple, tan, burgundy, gray, yellow.

Seriously, I didn't know that the ARRL even had any stinkin' badges.

I bet they don't have a rainbow badge.

Well, I was about to say otherwise, but I just looked at a few websites (see the Sign Man of Baton Rouge for one), but it looks like the badges are only for ARRL volunteers and officials (elected or appointed).

Hey, they even have a tan badge for VE's! I'm even eligible for one... Except I haven't worn a name badge in years.

Had an orange one when I was into the ARES EC/DEC thing, a long time ago in a county far, far away. The VEC things back then were white if I remember correctly.

(OK, it's not that far away. The next one over as a matter of fact)
