Maybe they shouldn't be the only game in town. However, since the
actions of their "professional staff" are demonstrably hostile to
traditional HF operations, they *do not* deserve our support. I'm
only a member because I have been a Life Member for more than 35
years.

Nothing is perfect, not even the ARRL.
Nothing is all black or all white.
You say you quit the ARRL because you disagreed with them on -an- issue.
Do you really expect them to agree with you (and you with them) 100% of
the time on every issue?
Even though you may disagree with them on -this- issue, I would
respectfully submit that the ARRL, in general, does a lot of good for
ham radio.
Like it or not, they are the only game in town, the only national
organization we have...and IMHO, deserving of our support.
Just my 2 cents...
