I will not resort to name calling as so many of the 14.275 folks have done and continue to do, I will not participate in this childish behavior. Here is a brief self portrait of myself: I enlisted in the 80's and went west, way west. I jumped out of many different aircraft 167 times and have 32 1/2 kills (the 1/2 is an assist) on active duty. I have saved more lives than I can honestly remember. I was disabled via and unfortunate combat related accident. I went to combat as a civilian and have 2 kills and a few saved lives as well as a piece of shrapnel that was removed from my leg. I am combat wounded from the military and as a civilian! Now that you know a little about me, I will get to the point of this letter. Mr. Hollingsworth has said this 14.275MHz problem is a Canadian problem, I do not agree. This jamming, swearing, playing unidentified tapes has gone on before Mr. Madera and goes on while Mr. Madera is not even in British Columbia. The lies that are told, on an almost daily basis, from you and the others are deplorable! What is more deplorable is that you essentially have permission from Mr. Hollingsworth to do this jamming swearing broadcasting and other rules violations without fear of punishment! The childish attacks just let the world know that quite a few U.S. amateurs, on 14.275MHz, are just no good. I realize that your new M O is to email anybody that you and your gang hear so as to get them on your side. I HAVE NO SIDE EXCEPT TO FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and your gang want to get on my butt for jacking a call, which I apologized for doing. Mr. Jeswald get on [redacted] for doing the same!!!!! [redacted] used a false call on the air and what have you and your gang done about that? What have you done about [redacted] and his 18 minute tirade of F you Mother F'er. You don't seem to want to talk about that on the air. I, as any good soldier would do, had a plan/purpose for jacking that call. The goals and objectives were met with outstanding results! I think you and your gang should actually look into the mirror before you start bad mouthing others for the very same things that you guys do. I would ask that you not take this letter out of context as so many items have been out of context when referring to anything that has to do with 14.275MHz. I said this before and it bears repeating, I will not in any way shape or form cooperate with [redacted]. He breaks the rules too much for me, he should review part 97. Please remember that YOU are the one that got me started in this garbage. You said I could not talk to Mr. Madera. I took great offense to that statement and would have never gotten involved if you would not have said anything. You see, Mr. Jeswald, I thought I could talk to anybody on amateur radio! Thank you Mr. Jeswald and may God bless all those involved in this mess! Whitney Tritch N3ZV [Portions redacted to prevent further defamation by Whitney Tritch]
