Thanks for forwarding the e-mail that Mr. Phillips sent to the bpl reflector.  That is all well and good.  However, I am still concerned about the policy he appeared to indicate was going to be the policy in Cincinnati.
 
I read from his remarks that they were not going to do anything until the entire system had been fully implemented.  If that is the case, I can only wonder if that is a good course to follow.
 
Perhaps someone can clarify what the exact policy of the Cincinnati unit will be.

Subject: The Cincinnati situation

To all

     There has been numerous traffic on this reflector and other messages about the situation in Cincinnati. During these exchanges, I made off handed remarks which enflamed the entire BPL reflector. This was unnecessary and unwise and has caused numerous examples of name calling - all of which serves no useful purpose. I apologize to the entire reflector and the other observers of this issue for the disparaging remarks. Like I said they were unnecessary and unwise.
     As many of you surmised, the original ARRL News Story about Cincinnati's BPL/LIC team effort was for another audience - not the BPL community. This caused the confusion and the attacks on the Cincinnati effort. No matter, my comments were unprofessional and not worthy of an ARRL official.
     My thanks to many for their counsel but particularly to Gary Pearce, KN4AQ,  and David Sumner, K1ZZ.
Sincerely,
Joe Phillips, K8QOE
Ohio Section Manager
