[SECC] Fw: ARRL Proposals

[Mark Luhrman]

In a reply to this message I feel like I did not take anything out of context. 
When people make certain statements like you did that we are not very good 
operators, and that is exactly what you were implementing, then that affends 
me.  And if people do not state their opinions or the way they feel about the 
club, then they should not be in the club. I stand up for what I see and believe 
in. If more people took this attitude this would be a much better world. Also 
Rick and I have disagree on certain things. I am asked to come to his station to 
operate, because I am a good contestor. I also keep my butt in the seat, and I 
am determine to do my best.  And lastly I guess you only operate from stations 
where you can win! It must be nice to be so demanded of! If I offended you, I 
apologize, but you also offended all the operators at NQ4I ! Mark W4SVO

Mark,

Why do you air your dirty laundry publicly on the reflector.? You have taken my 
comments totally out of context. You don't have all the facts so your 
perceptions are way off. 


1) The only reason I still belong to SECC is because I was asked to stay on by 
some good friends that are members. I'm not the only person who has problems 
with the club. The others just don't express their opinions on the reflector.

2) I never said NQ4I had bad operators. I said  K3LR recruited operators that 
were some of the best in the country i.e super operators. It took many years for 
K3LR to break thru the east coast curtain. Not once did he complain about the 
rules like Rick does continually

3) I'm not biased and have no interest in operating at NQ4I. The times I 
operated there I saw that he would never win. I have invitations every year from 
other big stations if I choose to do so. I'm just in the part of my life where 
my family comes first before ham radio. Maybe you are the one that is biased ? 
If you didn't agree with Rick's views you probably wouldn't be invited to 
operate from his station ?


4) You as well as I know that there are issues between NQ4I and W8JI. It would 
be nice if they didn't have their "cat fights" on the reflector. (and now 
cq-contest) This turns people off.


Rick is trying to force his opinions about ARRL DX on everyone. If someone 
disagrees with him he calls them names. Just look at some of his posts on 
cq-contest. I have a right to disagree with him if I choose.

Personally I think you owe me a public apology on the reflector.


Jeff
