| Is the ARRL Non-profit? or "For-Profit?" | mem0arrl | on 1/8/18 |
| So...in reality I'm paying for other people to get to enjoy their hobby from the dollars I pay as a "membership" fee? Makes me want to reconsider being a member. From everything I have ever read the ARRL positions and advertises itself as an "advocate" for the US Amateur radio community. I guess it would be helpful if this organization were to publish the note "Not all funds you spend with us are used for the greater good. Some of us make $$$ off of some if it. Not all of this is public service." (I'd LOVE it if someone would pay me to enjoy my hobbies...) /MM |

| Hello. Is the ARRL a "For-Profit" company? If they are non-profit, then why do they charge so much money for training and testing materials? If there is no profit motivation, then why not just list downloadable PDFs of the materials? I understand what it takes to run an organization and by no means do I think everything whould be "just free." However I do wonder where all the money goes? ---Or is that just none of my business? Thanks, /MM |
