Yes, but I take CQ's changes personally -- I was one of the operators at
#1 M/S Canadian station VY2SS... Yet nobody would know that
without reading the web :-)
My comment about CQ was just to stir the pot... This reflector
provides great comedy in the off-contest season!
I have three points:
- I am not a member of ARRL because of QST. I am a member of
ARRL because we need a strong national voice for Amateur Radio.
ARRL, like it or not, is that organization. If another viable
organization existed, then I might consider that. <5% of QST
is of interest to me each month -- CQ, maybe 7%. QEX, 100%.
- CQ should be MORE responsive to complaints, if there are any.
That's because we can vote with our pocketbooks. No politics
involved -- just don't subscribe. In the QST/ARRL scenario, if we
vote with our pocketbooks, amateur radio is in deep do-do. So,
we vote by electing the people we want on the board -- and then they
do what they want anyway :-). Best way to change ARRL is to get
involved, rather than BSing on email reflectors.
- Contests will still be a lot of fun, and be very competitive, and
be a great aspect of amateur radio, no matter where the results are
published, and by whom.
