All.....

Well the Charlotte, NC hamfest happened :(

I was given the assignment of working the Ticket Sales booth.

On Friday, before the Forums, I got a chance to meet our 'brand new' 
NC SM........ I mean he literally  took-over the NC Section this past 
week........ while at my ticket sales booth, he was pleasant enough. 
However, when I asked him how he felt about RM-11708? (I was later 
told this was a gross violation of hamfest ticket sales 
rules).........   he had a brief bewildered look pass across his 
facial features....... and then he said  "I'm sorry, but what RM are 
you talking about? Is that about Antenna regulations? And, why is it 
my problem?"

After my blood pressure returned to barely normal, I explain what has 
been going on since last November..............  he then retorted 
that his recent predecessor Bill Morine, N2COP, had said NOTHING 
about anything currently 'on the back burner' that might need his 
attention..........!!!!!!!!!

I explained, once again, who I was... what mode I used to contest, 
and how I feel about RM-11708.............     I was thanked for my 
opinion, asked if I PROPERLY REPLIED to comment requests, and thank 
you for two tickets............

F-Me, 73,

Ben - WB2RHM
