Daron- You are probably correct, this is probably not the best forum to drag all this up. That being said, why did you do it??
But since you decided to "air the dirty laundry", let me correct and/or address a few statements you made. (numbering below in relation to your data) 1. KA7TRY claimed he did microwave from Table Mountain to his house. If you have evidence he lied, could I please get that in written statement so I can take it back to the coordination council? 2. If you have something to contradict what I am stating, please present it. You were NOT in attendence at the ORRC meeting during the time in question, you started attending meetings sometime after June 2000. (The incident in question occured in 1995) Please present "the other side"! 3. While you state that I have "opinions that don't necessarily jive with a majority of the repeater operators in Oregon", but you fail to admit that there are so many people angry at the ORRC right now that two different groups are attempting to break away about half the state away from the ORRC. Your statement of "he hasn't been re-elected by his peers to the coordinating group" is also incorrect. I have run for elections (once at large, twice regional) and I have been re-lected twice. The reason I have not run in recent years is I have no time for it any more and after serving a total of 7 years on the board I have done my share. There are no un-coordinated repeaters operating my callsign. Daron - I expected better from you as a representative of the coordination council and as a person who makes their living in the communications field. Please get your facts straight before making a fool of yourself again. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 10:24:19 PM CDT From: "Daron J.
