KA7TRY couldn't have microwaved any signal to his house, I purchase a huge amount of his estate recently from his 'house' and I can guarantee you there is no microwave path from there to Table Mountain where his repeater was. 2. The stories are many, oh so many. As a member of the ORRC, I have many boxes of paperwork from Mr. Mackey's time in the organization (minutes, correspondence, documents, etc.). Rest assured, there is more than one side to these 'stories', and what has been shown thus far is clearly only one side. 3. Most importantly, this is not the forum for it. There are many opinions on how repeaters should be run. Mr. Mackey has some opinions that don't necessarily jive with a majority of the repeater operators in Oregon, those repeater owners make up the coordination council. That is likely why he hasn't been re-elected by his peers to the coordinating group for some time. Right or wrong, he apparently feels mistreated by the coordination body, of which he was a member for many years. His solution was to step outside of the coordinated solution and operate his own system in a manner he saw fit. Again, this really is not the forum to air one sided complaints against a coordination body. 73 N7HQR
