Maybe so Anthony but I distinctly recall attending a a IARU Region 2
conference some years ago in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and I was amazed at how
many people from HQ along with their wives or partners that were booked
in the 5 Star hotel where the conference was being held. It was almost
like HQ was left with just the clerical staff. Some members of the ARRL
travel often and to "far away places with strange sounding names."
Considering that there is an ARRL booth at every major and many minor
ham-fests and that there is one every couple of weeks, there can be
little doubt that league personnel do very well in frequent flyer miles
and don't lodge at a Motel "6" during the event. Since the ARRL has a
"DXCC Desk" as they call it, I wonder if they have a "travel desk" as well.

Why do we always assume there is an ulterior and possibly malicious
motive? The inescapable fact is that the ARRL needs funds to fight for us
in Washington.
The ARRL is not perfect, but no organization is. If you don't want to
participate in DXCC because you think it is corrupt, then don't! No one is
holding a gun to your head.
