I encourage those who have dropped their WIA membership to sign up again.
Why?
You see a bloke struggling in the river going down for the count. You figure that if he makes it to shore you'll give him a hand. If he doesn't make it then it was never meant to be.
That is the very thing that many hams have done by taking their membership from the WIA over the last few years. Whatever happened in the past is now gone and over.
Now we see a new board trying to do the best they can with what they have but what they really need is support from those of us who are already here. Based on what I have seen over the last months from the new board I think they deserve our help. Don't punish them because of something that happened to you or others in the past.
I've heard a number of people say that they'll come back to the WIA if they see a positive change from the new board. I sure hope the board doesn't drown while 2/3 of the ham population sit on the river bank telling them how to save themselves.
Show those guys that have committed themselves to manage YOUR HOBBY that you at least acknowledge their effort. Seems to me $95 is not such a big impost.
