David, Nicely stated. Good job! 73, Rod From: ARRL Web site <memberlist@www.arrl.org> Date: Sunday, January 17, 2021 at 10:55 AM To: <w6rod@comcast.net> Subject: ARRL on the Purpose of Amateur Radio ARRL on the Purpose of Amateur Radio For over 100 years amateur radio and ARRL — the National Association for Amateur Radio® — have stood for the development of the science and art of communications, public service, and the enhancement of international goodwill. Amateur Radio’s long history and service to the public has solidified the well-earned reputation that “Amateur Radio saves lives.” Amateur Radio Operators, due to their history of public service, their training, and the requirement that they be licensed by the FCC have earned their status as a component of critical communications infrastructure and as a reliable resource “when all else fails." Amateur Radio is about development of communications and responsible public service. Its misuse is inconsistent with its history of service and its statutory charter. ARRL does not support its misuse for purposes inconsistent with these values and purposes. ABOUT THIS EMAIL This message was sent to ARRL members.
