Might I suggest putting this as a poll question on the ARRL web site? This is a very important issue, and we might be able to get a gauge on how some of the members feel about the subject. 73, Tuck NZ6T W5JBP@aol.com wrote:

Yes, Dave, tomorrow we would not. I do have a question however, when did you "abstain" on a vote regarding 25.5? I was not aware of such a vote at the WRC.

The question is to each of you on the board, what do you want to do? You know as well as I, come Monday there will be a number of petitions submitted to the FCC for elimination of element 1.

This is another opportunity to be as popular as we were during the implementation of incentive licensing. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Those who will be petitioning the FCC know that we will be having a board meeting in a few weeks, and will have to deal with the issue one way or the other.

Time to put on the kevlar.
