<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">I must say, I love you guys. That needs to
be stated first and you need to understand, I really do. Your lives are
important to us. We do love you. </DIV>

speaking at this moment. I am hoping.)</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">The references you used, with regard to Shadow,
you each should be sorely ashamed of yourselves. I don't know what the
hell you saw, partly because I am not wired to judge in such a way, but I love
Shadow a.k.a. John, he is great stuff and funny with a wit that people
enjoy. Nicholas adores him immensely and always has a huge affection for
him, follows him all over the place because of his wit, nature and
knowledge. This person you disparaged outwardly, sniping gently in his
presence, has accomplished more than most of us as far the world out
there. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">I was ashamed that we put him enthusiastically
into a hornets nest. I will not ask him to ever again even though I was
so happy he was going to be there. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">You all should know, it was one second before he
was aware and dismissed <U>you</U>. I did see that look in his eye when
he glanced across the table at me. I was so proud of him. He did
not speak of it. Is that how you as a group wish to be viewed? Let
me define the view from his side, my side, Nicks side, of the table for you,
Robert has made his view clear. One word.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Think about the venomous manners that were
parading about that table.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">I have also heard other moments, many of them,
some of which Robert has not been privy. It is what keeps me at
bay.<BR>No one is looking for professionalism across the
board. However, to disrespect in such a consistent manner is only
serving to clear 450 of anyone other than a small handful of gossip
mongers. Has anyone noticed that there is no traffic on 450
anymore? Has anyone noticed that no one stays for hours anymore?
Not even those who originate on 450? </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Not one of us is better than the other.
The unrelenting sniper hits, MUST STOP. No one ever looked good with
venom dripping off their tongue. </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">It is not funny, it is not meant in jest
either. No one is dumb enough to buy that bill of goods and over the
years, what I have heard, gentlemen, it is not in jest that you speak. I
was not born yesterday. Remember, I had a mobile station. I have
heard many things you think I could not hear.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Even Nicholas caught on that night, along with
many other nights. He is not impressed. He did make it clear later
on how bad it felt. He knows of this particular email, as I included him
in it, he had a right to view before I send. He approves wholeheartedly
of what I am saying. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>That coming from a
16 year old.</FONT></STRONG> Over and over he has made faces through the
years while listening. When he does these things silently, I know I have
done an excellent job with his mind and I smile as his head begins to shake
and his eyes meet mine then he gets up and walks away from the
radio. He is able to understand that what he is hearing is way off base
and cruel. Has been able for years now. Now, you all think Nick to
be the bomb. I dare any of you to disparage or disregard that. The
only button he learned on the radio years ago was the power button. What
does that say guys?</DIV>

They are infesting all aspects of life. Now they are in amateur radio. Lest
some think I am making light of Bob's comment, <U>I am not</U>. How else could
one explain such behavior toward another operator? That is not a rhetorical
question. <BR><BR>Perhaps KA2VAW is on this list. I want to talk to him about
ATV. I am very interested in hearing from someone who has experience in this
area. Bob, if you contact him, please let him know I want to have an ATV
discussion. Anyone else who is interested in ATV or has experience is welcome
to join. <BR><BR>Perhaps some might be offended by my comments as the
perception might be that I am lacking in political correctness or PC. PC is
very much a social disease, in need of eradication, and I always do my part to
achieve that end.<BR><BR>A 220 net will start soon on a local repeater
followed by a simplex net. A lot of operators have well developed stations and
others are in process of getting on the band and developing a station.
Whatever you have on the band, you are welcome to join us! I will post further
details soon. Bob (N1UJS) has done some very extensive work on the band and
has created a very useful repeater directory for us all.It is a great aid in
evaluating your
station!<BR><BR>73<BR><BR>George<BR>N1YAE</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
