I was considering joining ARRL, but I was wondering if it is worth it
for us blind hams.  The reason I say this is that QST, as far as I
know, is not accessible to us, and even the few articles on projects
and techniques for blind hams are in an Adobe format that does not
contain the accessibility information one usually finds in them these
days.

So, what do you all think?  Seems we blind folks are left out of a lot
of the good stuff.  What are the benefits that I might be missing?

And, having said that, I can't complain unless I am willing to do
something to change things for the better, so if anyone on the list
knows of any opportunities for me to contribute and make things more
accessible, I would do it in a minute!

73,
