Local radio club took a bunch of grant money for an ill-advised and poorly-researched project, and is now rapidly imploding.
This is very sad. It was also entirely predictable.
#hamradio needs engagement much more than it needs huge amounts of money.
You can't buy community activity or club member loyalty. Money can't fix apathy. No amount of funding will reverse the demographic carnage from years of openly tolerated racism and sexism in an org.
It takes real work to make progress.
