[Kzyxtalk] open lines and trading times

[she-la]

The CAB was told by Stuart Campbell, the Programmers rep, that the delay device was being installed on Dec.18th.  The following day the station had technical problems. 
  The reason why we are all so much in the dark about everything the station does is due to the reduction of meetings by the Board and the cancellation of the January meeting with no plausible explanation besides they did it last year as well (and got away with it.) 
     The meeting before an election has always been the most important one to me because we know and can report to the general public all the information about the candidates and the timeline for balloting which last year they screwed up mightily by getting the mailing out late and then having two different deadlines for the votes to be cast. This was brought to Aigner's attention so that the station could correct the information on air but as usual, was ignored.
     It was one of the many irregularities I mentioned to the FCC as evidence that the station is severely deficient in using its own air waves to keep its members informed.
