Pff!

#ARRL mailed me a "your membership has expired" bundle today. Their big selling point: re-join and we'll send you a mousepad or license plate surround. Woop-de-doo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not enough, folks.

Gee, they won't even give you a stinking coffee mug until you join for 3 years. $180!. One year is $60. They don't even give you a break when you buy more than one year!!

Give me a magazine like you used to without cranking up entry costs, ya cheap buggers!

I payed for the life membership when I first got my #amateur #radio license. I had too much money burning a hole in my pocket, and frankly didn't know any better. I'm still waiting on #ARRL to issue my #DXCC which was electronically confirmed within seconds after my 100th validated QSO in #LoTW. For an organization supposedly representing amateurs who 'contribute to the advancement of the radio art' they're woefully behind in technology. It's sad... 😢
