ARRL ima 1% izgub za razliko od 66% ZRS (6/2K). Extra Alfe bodo verjetno kar vse zapustile ZRS...

Torej je nekaj drugega pri nas narobe. Torej ni problem, da ljudi to ne bi zanimalo. Problem je v konkretni ponudbi, populrizaciji, predvsem pa v delu ZRS kot krovne organizcije.

A ni nikdo na tem forumu predlagal, da se ukine ZRS in formira neko novo interesno organizacijo. Sem za: vsaj kot predsednika bi me tudi formalno razrešili.

Brez hecov: problem je v vsebini in ljudeh.

Ena skromna prošnja, ali bi lahko debate na temo ZRS ohranili izključno v za to namenjenem tematskem sklopu? Ta forum je bil dolga leta dober radioamaterski forum. Kar si najmanj želim je, da bi se "filozofske" debate in "sociološke" študije na temo osipa članstva v ZRS, medčloveških odnosov znotraj ZRS, pa razna pregovarjanja "kdo je koga kje in zakaj ne", skratka neke polpolitične debate in razprtije, preselile v tematske sklope, namenjene ožji radioamaterski problematiki. Menim, da večino udeležencev tega foruma zanima zgolj slednja. To naprošam posebej tebe Rudi, Mariotu itak ni pomoči .

Sandi, bom skušl upoštevati tvoj nsvet, čeprav je v teh ham druščini včasih zelo težko. Moje nadaljnje geslo bo "Kdor modro molči veliko ve. Al pa nič!" Kar večkrat me opozorite na to.
