13 JUN, 2003 - 1240 CDT Hello Rick... I just finished reading the EC's study of and recommended changes to our standing committee structure. I believe there is a typo/omission? in the composition of the Marketing & Sales Standing Committee. There is no number of directors listed. Totaling the number of directors to be assigned to the other three committees (12), leads me to believe there would be three (3) directors assigned to this committee? 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Thanks for clearing that up. At first glance, it looked as if they were saying we could not talk on Mexican repeaters if we were transmitting in the US. Heck, I have Mexican repeaters less than 10 miles away, as I am sure David has in Texas....... Thanks again for the clarification.

Tuck, as I read it the station in Mexico is unlicensed by that country: Since the aforementioned station does not posses a valid operating permit issued by the Mexican govenment, It is not a legally authorized station, by the operator's own admission on the air. We're not supposed to work pirates.
