CW poll
Locked
 
|
There is a poll at <http://www.arrl.org> asking what percentage of time
we spend operating CW. So far there are only 3200 votes. More votes would make it more interesting! Please vote (early but not often). Yes I know it's self-selected and statistically worthless, as well as being easy to fool into accepting multiple votes. But it's interesting anyway. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

They finally took the poll off-line in the middle of the run after it appeared that someone set up scripts to vote automatically and "stuff the ballot box" endlessly! At this point it's interesting to see that, among those who voted, it's either CW most or all of the time or CW none of the time. Perhaps those Hams who do some of both probably don't care to vote <G>. Oh, well, as one report said some years back, an extensive poll of the USA showed that 99% of the voters don't care one way or the other about voter apathy.

Can you be a bit more vague on the URL? I searched the home page and site
map for "poll", and used their search function for "vote", "vote cw", "poll", "poll cw" and find no poll. Maybe you need to have a microphone to find the page?

SORRY! I read the rest of incoming mail and found out where it was!
Thier website is VERY cluttered! Yes I did vote! We almost need to "pack the ballot box" so the ARRL gang doesn't go along with the rabid "no code" bunch! Remember what happened to the MARS system!
