Dick: You have great progress on getting letters written. It does take lots of persistence! Congrats! I sent out my division newsletter yesterday. In it, I noted the need to become political. I promised another letter discussing the process and plan to issue it sometime by mid-April. This job (ARRL Director) would be easier to manage if I was retired! I am beginning to miss the old days when I could get on the air and just be an active DXer and contester. Not much time for this anymore. 73 Jim K9JF
