Unfortunately, contesters are NOT the largest block of
consumers/members. I suspect that there are far more hams and ARRL
members/subscribers involved in the sort of activities covered by
Section News than there are contesters.
The Board is (almost certainly) doing what the majority of
subscribers/members want in these actions. Rather than drop out of
the ARRL, more contesters should join, and contesters should recruit
others to their particular madness.
And this has gotten off topic for the WriteLog reflector, I fear.
So, please let's drop it here, and take it to your local Director.

If it is not a business they need to focus on member needs.
If it is a business they need to focus on customer needs.
Be it a business or not they need to focus on my needs as a customer/member,
which my director did not do in the recent vote.

The ARRL is a business. Think harder.
