Now, I am making this post here tonight to pretty much "BOAST" about the 10-10 Board of Directors meeting coming to Altanta Georgia back in July of 2012 and here it is August 2012 and I KC4TVZ still have my 10-10 number! They did not revoke my number! Their Lawyer threatened to revoke it but the Directors, did NOT do it! So it was all just a big scare tactic! Maybe I don't have their support but I don't really care if I have anyones support or not because I am an individual and I control my own destiny! However, I would like to see 10 meters be more open than closed. Also, I am still the Monday's 28.380 Net Control Station and you are ALL invited to check in. You do NOT need a 10-10 number to check in because it my goal as NCS to help you collect your first ten 10-10 numbers to get your own, so if you check in be ready to at least write my information down because I will be giving to you.
I can't wait to read some of the responses to this post!

That sounds like an invite for comments?
Okay, care to comment about your recent (and
TOTAL) suspension from
ALL of your
FORMER 10-10 volunteer positions (including Net Control)? Guess the 10-10 BOD had enough of your independent behavior huh?
Guess the last time you dissed a new ham was the straw that broke the camel's back. Huh? So now to deflect the BOD's attention to another subject you scan the 10-10 membership list looking for members with unpaid dues (there are
THOUSANDS of them) so you can report them to the Board of Directors. Well, it doesn't matter if you pay your dues. Once you get a 10-10 number its yours for life and good to use for whatever reason you care to use it for. The 10-10 organization is more about using the entire 10 meter band than it is about exchanging 10-10 numbers. Hey Todd, there's not even anything in the 10-10 handbook that says exchanging numbers is
required. The number exchange is just to work towards wallpaper which some people could care less about. 10-10 International is about building camaraderie among the amateur community, helping new hams get acclimated to the hobby, the bands, and the rest of us in the amateur radio community. Not to provide an opportunity for one or more individuals to do as they please.
So yeah, good to see you've been trashing 10-10 this long as it shows what you really think about the organization you claim to support. Good to see you attacking people who allow their dues to expire, that should really get you back in good graces with the 10-10 leadership. Shows some real humility, at this rate my 4-year granddaughter will be graduating college before you get another shot at volunteering for 10-10 (which I have no say about).
Oh, did you tell everyone the
truth about the BOD meeting in Atlanta? Did you tell these folks the meeting was some 40 minutes from your QTH yet you wouldn't attend? Did you let folks know you drove clear down to Orlando to the convention there to speak to the BOD? Then when you got there you changed your mind. I'll tell you Todd, I attended the recent convention in Connecticut and was quite impressed with the professionalism (and OPENNESS) of the BOD meeting. They allowed me to not only attend the open-door meeting but to make a comment regarding digital modes as well.
Couldn't pass by your comment:

I just joined these forums today and found your dirty laundry, what a shame 'cause this looks like a really good place to hang out. Seems like Googling your call sign always brings out the bad points concerning you.
