Mike, I said I wouldn't post again on this subject but here is one more anyway:-)
I understand completely about health or other personal problems getting in the way of your hobby but this is a little different. Many people are depending on you to do a job you volunteered to do. In fact in this case you have a lot of money and time in your system and the FCC looks at that coordination in case of interference. To me if I volunteer to do something and am unable to do it I'll either step down, get help or even get temporary help to keep things going until I'm back on my feet. I don't have any hard feelings about Tim. What ever happened to him and Mike isn't my business and I hope they are both OK. Looks like SERA would be big enough to keep up with the directors and get them help if they need it. I know for a fact that others have offered to help the KY directors and nothing was ever said of the offer. IMHO KY deserves to have the best we can get as far as directors. If it is too hard of a job for Tim & Mike then get Billy Bob in Louisville, Joe Bob in Russellville and Jim Bob in Middlesboro to help and break the state down into districts...If you check the Journal we have less repeaters than most states. Not that we need more but we do need to have an active coordination council in this area.
