The Wouff Hong is the Royal Order. What you want for beating the ARRL Board
with is the rettysnitch (sp), that spit-club thingie.

Hey! I wanted to beat them back forty years ago for their "executive action."
Hmm... Sounds like the bunch in the White House.

Bill, are you referring to the ARRL's executive action regarding
"incentive licensing" (when they proposed slicing away General class
privileges to make way for the newly cordoned-off Advanced and Extra
spectra), or are you referring to any of the hundred other asinine
actions taken by the ARRL back in those good old days?

I think that was it, and I was an Extra then. (In fact, I've been an Extra
since 1952.)

There were a lot of good General 75M nets messed up by that. Of course, back in
1951, I believe, the Generals, nee Class B, were first allowed in the 75 and 20
Meter bands. (I was a Class A er Advanced at the start of that. I got my Extra
just for funsies.) So, to this day, I guess I have mixed emotions about it all.
I do dislike any executive action anywhere that counters the popular desire.
