Please, give me a break. Are we supposed to place Sandy in the same
category as the network broadcasters who have credentials, not just
longevity, out the yahoo. I have yet to see anything concrete that Sandy
has done for Amateur Radio, a hobby I have loved for many years. Being a
ham for a lot of years, joining a lot of clubs and manning the ARRL table at
some hamfests does not tell me anything. Anyone can do that. Tell me
about the hard core accomplishments. Just what has Sandy done for amateur
radio? And, even further than that, just what has Sandy done personally for
the hams of GA in his tenure as Section Manager?
