[South Florida DX Association] N7NG leaving the ARRL

[Esteban Romagni]

The following was taken off this week OPDX:


ARRL NEWS. Your editor received the following surprising E-mail from ARRL
Membership Services Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG, late Saturday afternoon,
December 30th: "On Thursday, December 14, 2006, much to my regret, I
delivered a letter of resignation to David Sumner, K1ZZ. Such an early
departure had not been my plan but had become necessary. On Friday, in a
meeting with Dave and Mr. Harold Kramer, ARRL Chief Operating Officer (COO),
I made it clear, when asked, that my resignation was in no way a retirement.
I also conveyed that it did not indicate any fundamental differences with
ARRL outside of the jurisdiction of Mr. Kramer. I offered them the
opportunity to release information about my resignation, but Mr. Kramer
could send only a terse two-line message, and then only to the HQ Staff and
the closed reflector of the ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors,
hence this message. All in all, it's been a fun six and one-half years. The
League has been a great place to work, and I'd do all but the last 22 months
over again. I thank all of you around the World for your great support. In
particular, I offer special thanks to our volunteers - advisory committee
members, log checkers and advisors. I also urge all of you to support the
ARRL financially. Be sure to tell them what you want, though - they don't
always ask. I hope to regenerate an active interest in Ham Radio back in
Wyoming. Maybe there'll be another DXpedition or two as well, and look for
N7NG - Jackson Hole - to be an active Wyoming contributor to LoTW as long as
it's in business...... 73, Wayne, N7NG Jackson Hole, Wyoming"
