While the three IARU officers discussed the CQ editorial among ourselves, I want to confirm what Joel has said about Tim's letter being unsolicited. He first raised the subject, and he volunteered to write the letter.

With Tim's permission, a copy is attached for the information of the ARRL Board. Joel
