[Dx-qsl] Re:ARRL?? Vol 37, Issue 4

Sun Feb 4 14:21:19 EST 2007

Hi Don, Thanks for the support of my comments. Only 1 other guy Ron also
spoke up also on my behalf...thx Ron too. But , this is a QSL reflector so
lets leave it at that. My post was directly related to QSL thoughts and
info, even if it was on the negative side...someone needs to speak up.

Right on Pete, NA2P! My dues are up in June. I was at Dayton last year 
and thought it would be fun to renew there which I did do. When I wrote 
and asked for the ARRL book they offered if you paid promptly they not 
only have not bothered to answer me or send the book. In June (2006) 
they sent me two letters asking me to renew adding insult to injury! I 
have paid dues since 1963, only skipping the two years I was working in 
Saudi Arabia. I have about 200 QSTs I have not read yet! Maybe I don't 
need to "belong" anymore either.
73,
