All





    I posted this to the EC reflector, but forgot to cross post

it.








    If we are to preserve the support of our Members, our donors,

the respect of the perennial naysayers and the FCC, I believe we

must oppose the planned assessment of fees against Amateur

licensees.





    Even, if based on David Siddal's advice and opinion, we may

face an uphill battle or even no chance of prevailing, we should

use the opportunity to take a public stand — with a well

articulated and published position and campaign— against the

implementation of the proposed fees. One of our most damaging

failings — and it has been for many years — is that we do not

communicate well to the public or with our Members that the League

is always standing for the rights of Amateur Radio and our

Members; that failing cries out to be corrected. Our current town

criers do not serve us well.





    Who knows? By entering the lists, we might just take the day.
