Historical Background Information What might be referred to as a combination consultation with a past-lives regression specialist and a thorough search of the dark web*, has unearthed the following: There was a formal meeting with ARRL and manufacturers connected to a large ham convention in Miami in the mid-80's. It was convened to address industry dissatisfaction with the League's opposition to removal of the Morse Code requirement, even for VHF. Apparently the morning was spent with industry expressing their concerns, and the afternoon was spent developing changes. The result was novice class license enhancement. 73, Dick, N6AA * This description of the source would be acceptable only to those preferring fanciful, fictitious hype.

Colleagues,
I feel strongly that ARRL should be inquiring of vendors to the Amateur Radio Community as to what they see is in our future, and “around the bend.”
The purpose of the meetings proposed by the attached motion is NOT to displace any meetings that the ARRL advertising manager may have with advertisers in Dayton, but rather to inform the Board of what vendors are thinking about. I believe we may have something to learn from vendors (our manufacturers and retailers).
Suggestions on wording this motion are, of course, welcome.
