Ria N2RJ, I’m not entirely sure what makes you think that young hams aren’t interested in DXing. The next generation of hams on the RHR youth program are all avid DXers and contesters, myself

These online ARRL groups were explicitly created to facilitate public interaction among hams (ARRL members and non-members), ARRL staff, and ARRL management. The fact that DXAC members and ARRL

Ria N2RJ, 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
