Hi Everyone,
Jamie is NOT a member of HamWAN leadership in any way. This is just a
random person misusing this mailing list for political purposes.

Hey everyone,
Surrounding the WADNR and Amateur relationship I need to ask that
those of you that believe that you/we have been wronged by the WADNR,
please know that you/we have not!
Please stop with any and all insults, digs, or alike towards them.
*Your Impact*
When you engage on this topic you are likely speaking out of turn and
have no idea surrounding why you/we were impacted. Sure, it sucks to
be asked to leave, but if I came to your house and moved in without
paying rent, you to might get all bent out of shape. You might be cool
if I moved in, paid rent for me, but when I invite all my friends to
move in as well, then you might get angry. In short this is what happened.
I had members of my own club engage with a local county commissioner
that joined us for our breakfast meeting and dove into this asking for
help but failed to understand the background. Just imagine how poorly
this would have turned out if our Commissioner reached out to the
WADNR and found out that people were complaining about access but then
learning that we failed to comply with the contract.
*Details*
WADNR completed an audit and found several of their sites with
equipment not captured in legal contracts. They did not single out
amateurs as apart of this effort. Those amateurs that breached their
contracts had a couple of things happen.
* Their amateur discount was revoked.
* And they were offered to renegotiate their contracts but at the
commercial rate. Going from ~$80 a year ~$400 a month is a shocker.
*Note: *Commercial sites charge based on floor space and tower location.
There are several efforts underway to ensure we repair our
relationship with WADNR. There are still several amateurs that have
great relationships with WADNR. Please don’t f*** this up for them.
If you still have concerns, you are welcome to reach out to me or the
HamWAN leadership. Please know that all of us are trying to remain
respectful of those that got caught and drug us into this drama. I
would love to out those guys as I have a history with a few of them,
but it doesn’t benefit the issue or our hobby to do so.
