Non Sanctioned event, membership excluded

Submitted by An Officer of the Azalea Coast ARC (not verified) on Wed, 04/30/2008 - 10:06pm.
As the Vice President of the Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club I wish to express my regret that this event was not sanctioned by the membership or Officers of the club as it was totally excluded and never even made aware of the event, our club bylaws state that the VP is the special event and contest coordinator and I in the past few months Had made several requests for information regarding this event and was stonewalled by Mr Morine the local public Information officer of the ARRL.

Hari, Why can't you just be

Hari, Why can't you just be happy for the people that actually did the work on this and made it happen with injecting your negative comments? We know why you were not involved, your club must think that you are a difficult to work with, can't share the spotlight and whine too much. Good work to those that made this happen. Your fellow hams hope you had a good time.

Who knew?

Imagine: Ham radio is not allowed to exist unless sanctioned by the Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club. Hari, would you please cite the section of part 97 (the law regulating the Amateur Radio Service) that assigns responsibility to ACARC? Your club by-laws affect no one except club members. Sad whining by the irrevelant.

Just because you could not come in and start running the show, you shouldn't feel too bad. Please see the above video.
