I support your general idea. Exactly how to do this
would be the question. I
suppose, too, we’d need to ensure we would not be violating some
confidentiality “or whatever” in that we are acting as a
representative of the FCC through the NCVEC rather than specifically as ARRL.
Backing up still one additional step, I’m
still concerned we are not truly doing the best job of putting our best foot
forward in our recruiting literature.
As one example, I do not believe we are selling what I see as the
greatest strengths ARRL offers to amateurs – the ability to pursue a
favorable legislative program and to fight adverse legislative initiatives and
regulatory concepts. Of course, going
back still another step, I’m mostly concerned that we’ve never
actually implemented the “grassroots” project we adopted a while
back which is needed before we can trumpet these strengths.

I’m wondering. When a VE
team passes an applicant, what happens next? Do they get a letter or
QSL-type card saying, “way to go” and by they way here’s a
great offer to join the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio?
If not, why not? What can we do to put the ARRL before them right away?
