It sucks and I still say it's because the ARRL has
been losing membership - they needed to lower the
standards to protect all those ridiculous pensions

That's only a *symptom* of the "self-preservation" mode - caused by the
death of the hobby due to "progress".

I also hold an Extra...... but I hosestly didn't care when I read this. Ham

Poor Donnie. He tries so hard, but the best reaction he can get is for me
to tell him what a neat guy he is.

Donnie, if you're eavesdropping, you are *really* a neat guy!
