Tom, that is a hell of a story=2E  I have a question for you or anyone out=

y
would the ARRL not take action, especially in a case as egregious as this
one?

I AM very happy to say that my bureau person, N4JJ, does a GREAT job and I=

am greatful he is willing to do the job=2E  I have never had a complaint
about the incoming or outgoing bureau=2E

Let's look back a few years to when a guy in Melbourne Fla had the W4 bure=
au
in the late 60s, the whole thing, not just a letter=2E

Everybody went almost 6 years without any cards=2E Guys in the Melbourne a=
rea
said that they would go over to help him, and he would peep out the window=

but not open the door=2E Neighbors also resported that they would often se=
e a
mailbag full of stuff delivered, and several days later, they would see it=

taken it out to the incinerator in the backyard=2E

There finally was almost an insurrection in the 4th district and when the
league finally took it from him, the Stirling Park club reported that they=

got over 300,000 cards=2E I alone got hundreds of cards, some of them over=
 9
years old=2E

What really miffed me was that our complaints to the league went unheeded
for years with numerous excuses out of Newington, and when they finally le=
t
him go, there was an entire column in QST praising the guy for the fine jo=
b
he had done=2E I think there was a certificate too=2E

I know that the 1967 Andamans operation QSLed via the
buro because I know several who got them=2E I guess my card is in that
incinerator=2E To be honest, I am bitter=2E

Sometimes it is best to be wary of your bureau=2E The Mecklenberg ARC guys=
 do
a good job, but the T processer has been a bit slow the past few years, bu=
t
I know I"m eventually gonna get my stuff=2E No real problem there=2E

Everybody have a happy new year=2E
