Aw, pshaw. I am sorry that I hurt your delicate sensitivities, Bill. Get over it. All this political and administrative bs has absolutely nothing to do with digitalradio. It is one clique fighting with another clique. One group is asking for clarification about the other group's operation. How is that OK?
If you think that I am not allowed to express my opinion, then you prove my point. However, I will not stand by without comment and get wet from your pissing contest. And I will not stand by while less than 0.5 percent of the US amateur radio operators mucks around and potentially screws it up for the other 99.5 percent. It was small groups of activists that got us in the incentive licensing fix, and it was small groups of activists that got us in the separation by bandwidth fix. It will be this small group of activists that makes the next change happen. I just hope the trend doesn't continue to worse and worse and worse.
