Hats off to everybody who prepared and argued the case. Like everyone else, I wish the court had ruled 100% in our favor with no dissenting opinion, but I am very happy about the parts that went our way. I am proud that our Board had the collective spine to spend what it cost to seek justice for Amateur Radio. If it were true, as League-bashers are wont to say, that "the ARRL is only in it for the money," we would never have filed this suit.

By the way -- totally unrelated subject -- one of the plot twists in last night's episode of "Lost" hinged upon a Morse code message received on the mysterious island. One of the castaways told his comrades that the geeky bad guy's rendition of the message was a lie. Indeed it was a lie. I heard the message the same way the castaway did.
