[App_rpt-users] Did anyone notice?

[Bryan D. Boyle]

no disagreement here.  but, some may think the League still has relevance, so, in the interest of keeping the info as fresh as possible...what the heck...even a broken and worthless clock is right and useful twice a day...lol.

(that less than 40% of the licensed hams are members are a pretty good indication as to how they're viewed; look at a QST from the 60s and compare it to the lightweight stuff they pubkish today...no comparison)

In MY OPINION..the ARRL is a lot like the old cartoons "Heckle & Jeckle"...nonsense talking Magpies....

BUT, if enough of us make noise about listing our AllStar node numbers, maybe the dolts in the League publishing division will finally resolve their cranial-rectal inversion and start listing allstar node numbers where applicable?
