Thu Apr 4 16:09:33 CDT 2024

Hello Geoff,

I would like to know the intentions of your ramblings below. This Club has a ZERO tolerance policy for political attacks on other members. I would STRONGLY suggest that you refrain from such activities, or The Board will review this situation and possibly suspend your Membership and access to this email service. Please do the right thing!

Respectfully
Douglas A Bruce
N1WRN
President, Billerica Amateur Radio Society

Create and promote a Ham event that complies with all your views, wants and needs.    Choose people who will join in your efforts, start a club to your own standards.  It's clear who you don't want.  See if there is anyone who wants to join you.    Have you looked at the ARRL outreach efforts? They are successful.  You could help with those.
