[OKDXA] Rebels Busted

Mon May 24 09:20:47 EDT 2021

I don’t see what the big problem is. This is easily handled by forming three separate bipartisan commissions, one for each of the operators. This can probably be done for about $60 million per commission. A firm time limit of 8 to 12 years for the commissions to report will be stipulated. If wrongdoing has occurred, major penalties against the wrongdoers will be declared, but following appeals over the subsequent five years everyone will have forgotten what the original problem was and the wrongdoers will be set free. Isn’t this a great solution? Does this sound familiar? Ken K5KC

So, all this is speculation now, I guess we wait for an official statement from ARRL. It doesn't look good for Dom and friends though... hi... He has upset a few folks through the years, just by the way he does things, he is a true rebel... This may put a damper on any hopes he has of going to Bouvet... Stay tuned...
