You echo my sentiments beautifully. The ARRL is a big battleship that takes a long time to make a turn, but I witness them turning in the right direction. “Traditional” ham radio still has its place, but isn’t attractive to upcoming hams. The OM purists are dying off, and the vacuum they leave behind is filling with SDRs, AI and bleeding edge software technology. I couldn’t be more excited. 73! K3CDY
Eventually, generational change will filter upwards in the ARRL organization. Like many organizations, that kind of change can occur at a pace slower than some of us would like. Even if efforts to reform it fall flat, it will still change over time simply through the changing of the guard.
The ARRL is the ONLY organization with a seat at the International Amateur Radio Union from the United States of America. That's where Ham Radio treaties are formed.

Thank you, Lloyd! I learned something new today :-)
