[RTTY] Fwd: RE: W1AW bulletin operations

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Mike,

I have made no rude comments about anyone on this list.  I have posed 
some questions and stated some facts and got an opinion from an employee 
at the FCC about the possible rule violations concerning the operation 
of W1AW and the poor response from the CEO of the ARRL about the situation.

I have forwarded my concerns on to my director.  It would really be 
embarrassing for the ARRL to have to explain why the stations it runs do 
not follow the FCC rules.  They have published countless books on how to 
operate a station properly.  Is it really too much to ask that they 
follow the same rules as the rest of us?

As for your accusation that I would deliberately set the ARRL up is way 
out of line and I would hope that the list owner would either moderate 
your posts or remove you from this list.

What is sad is so many willfully sit back and allow the ARRL and others 
to do whatever they want.  Mike, what if everyone operated like this?  
Where is the courtesy that should be shown by the ARRL who claims to 
represent the best of Amateur radio.

The ARRL has created their own gotcha with their practices of not 
listening before transmitting.  I honestly hope that they change their 
ways.  The ARRL is just another organization that needs to held 
accountable for all things they do and as I member I should be doing this.

If W1AW happens to QRM me, I will document it.  It has never happened in 
my 37 years as a ham.

The ARRL does many good things.  Willful and Malicious interference of 
other hams and the the RM-11708 are very bad for ham radio.

Mike where do you stand on willful and malicious interference.  Is that 
acceptable to you?  How about RM-11708.  You stood up to me. Big deal.  
Stand up for something important.

I guess if this makes you feel all warm and fuzzy then go to it.  I find it hard to believe you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time than to engage in this "gotcha" scenario with ARRL/W1AW.
