One of my core values is standing by what you believe in and say, that includes identifying yourself when you say something.
As Amateur Radio Operators on air we have a legal obligation to identify ourselves and at the very least it is a moral obligation elsewhere and common courtesy. Today I was on the RASA Facebook group for this reason I asked why there were anonymous posts in the group and I was challenged by the anonymous poster and then had some of my posts deleted.
On asking why I my posts were deleted I was contacted by a member of RASA privately and told that Anonymous posts were allowed as they could not post as RASA. I said that is fine, why not simply sign each post as RASA so we know it is an official post but I was told that it was what they had decided to do and no further discussion would be entered into.
I would like to state RASA provides a good value for money service to the Australian Amateur community but as this anonymous posting goes against my core values I have decided not to support the organistion moving forward.
