Yes it was the disrespect on the leadership level. This is the reason we have decided to go back to doing things the way we used to. So I hope to see y'all out there in the future. On Thu, Feb 1, 2024 at 4:18 PM Eddie Runner via BVARC wrote: > > So Anthony, TO MAKE THIS CLEAR... > the Board

Your email makes sense but has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I sent the email to let people know that we will still be doing POTA events. Just not with the BVARC name. We are going back to the way we did things when we first started things. It has nothing to do with what the BOD has said

Hey Rudy, Good morning. I agree with you, POTA is a lot of fun. Might I suggest trying POTA on CW? To me it’s the next step in a fun & emergency preparedness journey. BTW, thank you to Kori WX5KR and Anthony W5LIC for spearheading the POTA activities in our community. 73, Stephen (W2WF)
