It looks as though we aren't going to be recalled after all! Darn! I just talked with Tony DiPrato on the telephone for about 45 minutes during which I explained why we did what we did. It turns out he hadn't seen any of the newsletters I'd sent out on the restructuring proposal. He had set his arrl.net address to forward to a secondary E-mail address and had somehow missed seeing these. Anyway, after we talk and commiserated he came to understand what we are trying to do and the constraints with which we were operating - i.e. forget asking for things FCC will definitely not accept (ex 20 wpm code). I guess y'all'l have to put up with me for another couple of years after all. I withdraw my offer of a vacation in the Bahamas for all of us (after being recalled). Incidentally, we all know how valuable good SMs are. It turns out that SM John Meyers, NB4K talked with Tony before me and took most of the tank traps and barriers out of the field for me. He's a good man. 73, GL, Jim W. AMATEUR RADIO: The only fail-safe communications system in the world. ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio is!
