There's something that's happened recently over at the #arrl, which is the national #hamradio organization for the USA.

ARRL identified, by name, clubs and organizations that produce educational videos as "being in competition with" the ARRL "Learning Center".

ARRL then retaliated against these clubs and organizations, calling them up and stating that these organizations *would be excluded from ARRL publications and partnerships*

Firsthand, #qsotoday and #ratpac are affected.

This is bad.

@abraxas3d What a short sighted tactic for them to take. I’m sick of companies treating humans like a resource to extract, and it looks like ARRL wantonly does this and then wants to leverage their “importance” to block others from their “market”. They’re doing an excellent job of making sure I do not join their org.
