While there’s nothing for me to argue about anymore, please just take a moment to think about the consequences of this proposal if it passes and how it will affect the hobby as a whole. By passing this proposal, the ARRL will make it incredibly difficult for the next generation of hams to earn their DXCC because of the lack of a budget, station resources, or an ideal housing situation. Ask yourself this question, Do remote stations really affect your DXCC experience enough that you want to alienate them as a whole?
