ARRL and the Polls

I found the questions very interesting.  I find that what appears to be quick to the ARRL is out of date to me.  If you take a poll post the results as they happen.  If you say it is “QUICK” then you damn well better make it quick.  Waiting for the “MAY” issue of QST to see the results does not fit with either of the ideas of POLL or QUICK.  In this day of technology and internet and digital polls, most web sites have polls that show the results as they happen.  I am not sure what the ARRL is getting at with these “NOT SO QUICK” polls?  Again, the questions were relatively good ones that could lead to several article choices or even actions and experiments but I will have forgotten the poll by the time the results come out and am sure by then it will flutter by and cause little notice.  – WD0AJG
