ARRL: Wake up and smell the ESPRESSO

...it's not your ol' cup o' Joe!

I think the FCC is basically sending a message to the ARRL - get back in step with your service. Likewise, the rest of us should take heed - we'll only be kept around as long as we continue to provide meaningful value to the general public.

To tell you the truth Ed, I hope this does serve as a wake-up call to some folks at ARRL. There are some among them who need to take a good hard look in the mirror...the world is not changing, it has CHANGED.

And here's hoping that the change won't end with CW. We need to fundamentally re-examine our perspective in several other areas as well - technology, emergency communications, emissions, right on down the line...

...and here's hoping that this forum will continue to be a place where insights are shared, ideas tested, and conventional wisdom (for the sake of itself) challenged.

Today CW, tomorrow ---!

73 to all,

P.S. I'm really looking forward to watching a bunch of my no- and low- code Technician friends join me on HF...
