I am a gun owner who quit the NRA many years ago when it lost its way. It looks as if I may have to quit the ARRL for similar reasons. The leaders of both organizations seem to have forgotten, or no longer care, about serving the needs of their members.
In reference to the article, “Director Ria Jairam recused by ARRL, and it seems political to me”, if the ARRL didn’t provide so many free scholarships up to $25,000 and give so much money away via all the grants they give away all the time perhaps their profits would be much better!
Perens is spot-on with his commentary on the Ria Jairam situation.
