akschu - i was the rightful owner. our frequency board is pen and paper based. you put down your frequency and your phone number. those that come later have the responsibility to call those that have already posted should there be overlap. he had scanned the board too quickly and failed to see mine (i was like the fourth on the list under 36mhz)... so after all that yelling at me he sheepishly admitted that he didn't see it. although he didn't offer an apology, i didn't push it, i figure a wrecked plane was all the guy could handle at that point.
