@abraxas3d Interesting to hear your take on it. Inderbitzen emailed me earlier today (in response to my email to him yesterday) and painted a somewhat different picture. He only addressed QSO Today, but made it sound as if Eric initiated the split. Re-reading Eric's email to me, it sounds as if Eric and the ARRL just didn't communicate properly on this latest version of the QSO Today Academy, and they both took it as though the other was severing the partnership.
@abraxas3d I don't think that Eric initiated it, but that it was a matter of miscommunication. At least that's the way it sounds to me from re-reading Eric's email to me.
@abraxas3d OK. I can only go by what he says. Eric did say that he was an ARRL Diamond Club member (that is, he has contributed a fair amount of money to the ARRL) and will continue to be in spite of the situation.
