The RC's I dealt with were all ARRL state level officers. I don't know the dynamics going on today. This was 20 years ago. I was trying to promote local fm use of the magic band, plain and simple. The band is still for the most part very quiet here. My vision was simple. i wanted to encourage all licensed hams to get 6m fm. The coordination was for open carrier, no membership required, donations accepted. I still do not accept their reasons for not coordinating my request.
