Phil,
I can't disagree with some of the things you listed but there is no one else 
out there to take the interest in arguing for our bands.

  Well in the background. I applied for RAC membership and paid on-line three 
weeks ago, and haven't even received an acknowledgement yet.

  No big deal. And I know they rely a lot on volunteers. But I think they 
should do a big "rethink" about the effect that the cost and administration of 
membership has on the small percentage of Canadian hams becoming and remaining 
members. Other related issues: poor proportion of membership costs for 
membership/magazine, lack of CD-ROM magazine (for blind members, and others), 
high cost of membership, high cost for additional family members. I think they 
should eliminate the magazine, put more news on-line, lower the cost of 
membership and attract a much higher percentage of Canadian hams as members.
