    ARRL Dues Hike & More

    The ARRL Board met over the weekend. Full details on what was covered can be found at

    http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-board-...ntennial-event

    Two items of note:

    (1) Dues are increasing by $10 a year, effective 1 January 2016. First dues hike since 2001 -- 15 years.
    (2) Dave Sumner K1ZZ is retiring in the spring.

    Anyone want his job? They're looking for applicants.

    You know, that's actually not a bad idea.

    After all, Bertie Boy teaches 4th graders (or so he'd have us believe), which means he's used to dealing with whiny hams.

    Nah. He'd never take the job. He might actually have to put his money, so to speak, where his mouth is.

    The WIK showed Hiram Percy Maxim how to build his first radio and the ARRL was his idea.

    I don't hate him. I like moderate conservatives, mostly. :rofl:
