[TxHam] Recall of the North Texas SM

[Jay Urish]

Sure Rob,

First off you can get a copy of the petition at 
http://w5gm.unixwolf.net/RecallN5GAR.pdf

I have several reasons and I would like to stress that these are my 
opinions only.

1. Lack of local services: I have asked Blackwell Several times to visit 
my club and bring us up to speed on section affairs. Each time he has 
been "too busy".

2. The way he ran his election campaign based on outright LIES and 
innuendo's really torqued me off. In his campaign he alleged that the 
current SM Roy Rabey had discontinued services and had a thief as his 
technical coordinator. In my investigation of this claim, I discovered 
that NONE of what he said was true with the exception that N5IUF DID 
remove the repeater from the site and the antenna and transported them 
to the owner/trustees residence(Blaine Hamrick AL7HH). He did this at 
Blaines request because Blaine does not own a truck. The repeater has a 
power supply issue and needed to be looked at.

Why Blackwell stated the opposite is anybodys guess.

3. Blackwell is involved with a small group of hams who are heavily 
suspected of being directly responsible for several statewide acts of 
repeater terrorism. Within days of the lawsuit against the TXVHF-FM 
Society concluding, several of the Plaintiffs in the suit who had high 
value commercial repeater sites across Texas, got booted from their 
sites. This was not a coincidence.

There is an interesting pdf document making the rounds through the 
state.. It echo's a few of my concerns and brings out several I didn't 
even know about.

I ask whoever sees this document to do their own research. Make phone 
calls, knock on doors, ASK QUESTIONS.. Please don't just take my word 
for this.
