When I was with the Feds in the 1970s we were granted space on a California State site on Mt. Diablo for our VHF (167 MHz) repeater on a space available basis. In the 1990s the State Department of General Services (the "landlord") decided to charge other agencies rent. After years of negotiations to no avail, we took our stuff out. Penny wise and pound foolish. I wonder what John Lemmon, the state's manager of communication services, thinks of all this. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
