From your statement below, that is not always the case. I don't like that idea and I believe it is BAD policy to sell or otherwise provide our mailing list to a non-amateur related company (actually I don't even like selling it to amateur related companies, but that is another topic)

With all of the fraud that is occurring these days, I believe we should stop giving our lists to non-amateur companies, unless it is something like the credit card thing the board has approved (which I don't even like that)

I bet we can't restrict it to ham-radio-related companies for the same reason that radio stores can't restrict sales of ham radios just to hams. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
