Subject: ARRL Exec Comm. to vote on HF Proposal
Organization: Honeywell Systems & Research Center
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 15:13:57 GMT

The 11th hour is here concerning the ARRL proposal for unattended automatic
operation on HF. This Saturday, August 22nd, the ARRL Executive Committee
will meet at the Los Angeles ARRL National Convention (7:30 AM) and make
their final decision.  Although their task is to approve or disapprove the
wording, they do have the power to stop the proposal in "it's tracks" and
send it back to the full ARRL Board!  So if you haven't communicated your
concerns, to it today!  Many of the folks going to the Convention will leave
Thursday - so call or write now!

Your opinions - and facts if you have any that pertain - are important and
it is critical you write TODAY.  Time is extremely short .....

The voting members (the 4 directors) CAN slay this Dragon!  But they are
politicians (and hams too!) who will act on your behalf only if they hear
from you!  

Keep in mind that the ARRL Digital Committee will kill HF network that
currently handles most traffic traveling out of the immediate area. Just
this last weekend at the Cedar Rapaids Hamfest a survey was taken of the
900 hams in attendance - 194 responded and 94% favored leaving HF forwarding
the way it is!  The ARRL needs to hear the public voice - YOUR voice!

If you are in Minnesota, call or write Howard Mark (one of the 4 who can
stop this ARRL mistake) today:

HOWARD B MARK W0OZC
