It's a really diverse hobby, really #ARRL #hamradio

The Best Hobby on the Planet is a diverse experience. 

Think about your television viewing pleasure. Your choices are over-the-air, streaming with Roku, Amazon Fire, or satellite Dish, etc.

Your AM radio listening has changed to FM and then to streaming. 

The Hobby is even more diverse than that. 

Some of the Hobby like plain old CW, nothing fancy, just a J38 to some vintage gear. There's a club or more for that. 

Still others forgot Code, when they got their No-Code Extra license. For them, it's sideboard or AM or FM on 10 meters. There are clubs for that too. 

Slow scan and fast scan tv interest some. Also, you have quickly observed the pattern. There's clubs for that. 

The interest in emergency communication, public safety, weather, space communication, and network radio operations also have clubs for those activities. 

Then, there's the ARRL. It's a radio club to some, a magazine to others, the best National Organization Representing Amateur Radio to a few. 

Regardless, the diverse hobby requires a diverse organization giving aid and counsel. 

Some people have learned the hard way that THEY are responsible for the operation of their station. That's in CFR Part 97 of the FCC rules. 

 The League, likewise, is responsible for their operation. The RF side is guided by Part 97. The rest comes under the rules governing corporate actions. The reflection in the mirror gets to decide how much or how little to enjoy the Best Hobby on the Planet. You are responsible for that.
