I think 99% of the good work the ARRL does is done by volunteers. Ask them for any specifics about the vaunted lobbying they do on our behalf and all you'll hear is crickets. I'm so glad they pay the CEO over $300k |

It wouldn't hurt to update the webpage and backend for LOTW to something more modern. The education and training stuff is good. They fired the technical director some years ago who wanted to update LOTW. |
