Are you an ARRL member? If you are, then you should be in contact
with your Section Manager and Division Director to make sure your
feelings on this topic are known.
On the other hand, if you aren't an ARRL member, how much weight do
you expect the organization to place on your opinions? After all, the
ARRL is a member-driven organization and they have an obligation to
answer to their members. While the number of licensed hams in the
U.S. is well over 700,000, I think the ARRL only has around 150,000
members. If, and I'm not saying this the case, the ARRL is populated
primarily by OFs who do nothing but rag-chew and pass NTS radiograms
on 80m, then the organization is going to lean in the direction of
those members.
In a perfect world, the ARRL would represent the interests of _all_
U.S. hams, but that's a pretty tall order as we are an extremely
diverse group with a wide range of interests and opinions.
