Joe...as I've been advising you for several months, you cannot effectively
represent yourself in what you describe as a hostile atmosphere. W9RU gave
you good advice, and I'd simply add that you get a lawyer fast..ARRL VC or
not, and turn the matter over to him or her. I suspect counsel will ask for
an adjounment and then set fire to the hearing with a hot copy of PRB-1
Good luck
