And the FCC OET really did listen to Mike. Our little industry got on the map with them through Mikes effort’s. I remember he even had an FCC commissioner come to one of the Wispcon meetings.

We needed a real trade group. Rick, Marlon, Scriv, Matt, Tom, Bob, (and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple) started working on Wispa. It's amazing how far we've come! I have mixed feelings about Mike Anderson...yes, he lied, but he did get all of us together at first through the Wispcons. He made the first contacts with the FCC. Can't minimize those things.

One of the WISPA guys at a booth in a trade show in Las Vegas told me the story but I forgot it. This had to be about maybe 2004? I remember he was pissed because Michael never gave him that copper part-15 medallion. I remember a ton of emails complaining that part-15 was not actually a non profit etc etc. From: Colin Stanners Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2017 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT..Marlon Schaefer .. pioneer WISP I remember that name from the part-15.org / Micheal Anderson days.... how long has it been, around 10 years already?
