Kent: Since you asked, I received a message and telephone call from the ARCC whose regional bi-annual meetings I frequently attend. The ARCC coordinates Eastern Pennsylvania and much of New Jersey. See: www.arcc-inc.org/ . They were livid about the situation and claim they were given no request for input or comment on the intended change (if that is true). They also contend they speak with other area coordinators and that the negative reaction seems widespread. The officer complaining I have known for some years and is not prone to exaggerations.

In it, the Chair proceeds to push the ARRL in front of the bus as it were. I did speak with him regarding RFinder and his concerns, but obviously it did no good. Have others on this reflector had similar calls, concerns, diatribes, etc.? I think we need some talking points and perhaps a story on the website to get our stance out. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 73!
