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
