<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">Well, I for one haven't seen this problem since joining sometime around Nov. of last year. After I joined, I contacted Phil Harman about wanting to help with the Verilog and he immediately let me start helping and hasn't showed any "control" over things or even acted that way. He treated me as though I was part of the team and he didnt know me from a hole in the wall or if I'd screw things up....maybe I have but he hasnt said so... <img src="https://email.secureserver.net/js/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" mce_src="https://email.secureserver.net/js/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" border="0"> Anyway, if Phil Covington, or any individual wants to leave, I dont think it should be that big of a deal to everyone. Just be a little more patient and wait till Don and others give you their side of the story and then decide if you too want to remain or not. From what I know and have seen I dont think there will be any real disruption from the way this group was headed. Afterall, this is just one person and there are a lot of talented people in this group. I don't think anyone in the group has reached god status - even though we may miss them. It may mean we need a few people to step up to the plate and fill his shoes, but I dont think with the talent we have that it will be that difficult.<br><br>OK. Fire away...I probably said something that someone didnt like....<img src="https://email.secureserver.net/js/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif" alt="Foot in mouth" title="Foot in mouth" border="0">
Basically Im just trying to say chill out till we hear both sides and
then just pick which way to go and lets keep the flaming down..<br><br><br>Kirk Weedman<br>KD7IRS<br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
<br>
When I look up "HPSDR" at Google I find the HPSDR Wikipedia,<br>
( recently done and very different from earlier versions )<br>
<br>
At the top I see 3 names, volunteers:<br>
<br>
Phil Covington<br>
Phil Harman<br>
Bill Tracy<br>
<br>
<br>
These three persons obviously form the technical core of the HPSDR <br>
project.<br>
<br>
Why is there not more support expressed for this core group at <br>
this point?<br>
<br>
The Wikipedia format was selected as means of DOCUMENTATION<br>
and MANUALS for the HPSDR project, I believe. <br>
<br>
Why do we allow, owners and future buyers of HPSDR boards, <br>
a small group of people to mess around with this vital part<br>
of the HPSDR project?<br>
<br>
