>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??
John, I didn't 'drag this up', I did not respond to your initial posts that were alleging wrong doings by the coordination council, I hoped it would just dwindle away so we could get back to repeaters building. >But since you decided to "air the dirty laundry", let me correct and/or >address a few statements you made. I didn't air your dirty laundry, I responded to misinformation you posted and let folks know there definitely was more than one side of the story. >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? I'm quite sure that if a receiver was monitored from Table Mountain, the audio was brought down via the PUD microwave network from Table Mountain to their facility, not to Franks house. >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"! My point was that there are other sides to the story. I was not at the meeting your reference, however I do have documentation from that era and I worked with Frank on his (and my) repeaters during that time. I understand you feel mistreated, I'm not sure what you hope to gain by complaining about it here. >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. I became a board member 5 years ago, at my first meeting you ran for something and were not elected; I've not seen you run since for either the director of your region or an at large member. >There are no un-coordinated repeaters operating my callsign. So why are we going through this? >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. John, I do not officially represent the ORRC, I simply wanted folks to know that there are more sides to this story. Many coordination bodies have issues, political and personal, that cause constituents to be unhappy with the results. The ORRC is made up ONLY of repeater owners/operators, and the policies put in place governing the operation of the organization can only be changed by the membership. That's you, and it is your organization as well. If you want to fix things, grab a mit and get in the game. It's pretty easy to boo the players from the grandstands. Let's spare the list from this discussion, you know where we meet and when, come on down and get involved. 73 Daron Wilson, N7HQR
