Steve, Actually, Ralph and Lin first learned rather indirectly, via a 2/11/02 email to the GA repeater owners reflector, that their plan had been adopted by SERA during the previous year. This email made no mention of Ralph or Lin. Please see AR902 MHz message 1064, dated 2/16/02. I researched this fairly well on AR902MHz and elsewhere six months ago. If there was ever any disclosure beyond this email to GA repeater owners, I apologize for missing it.
