What is the ARRL controversy?

Is ARRL worth it?

Joining the ARRL is worth it just for the resources they provide. QST, QEX, NCJ and On the Air magazines are available online. Outside of licensing, they have courses in emergency communications, advocate for us in Washington, have great product reviews and publish good books.

Is ARRL losing members?
