Can the FCC think this one through without some help? Would it be better if ARRL was helping or let the helping go by default to the Part 15 industry? Well, good point, Art, but the idea was not to leave the line drawing to the Industry. We have been relying in recent years more on technical showings of interference potential. I like to keep the discussions on that level if possible. The line, it seems to me, is at least somewhat frequency band, mode, bandwidth, and antenna gain dependent. Furthermore, there is the difficult question of aggregate interference versus single point source radiators. One means of determining what the proper limits are is through the ongoing noise study. It is too much to expect that in this proceeding, we could establish a Part 15 field strength limit The proceeding in which we chose to stand firm on this subject was a good one, I think: the FCC plans to allow 2.5 V/m at 3 meters, using narrow-beamwidth antennas of up to 6 dBi gain. That, under any reasonable analysis, requires licensing, since there are lower-power facilities operating under Part 101 that have to be (expensively) frequency coordinated and licensed first. Do we need to establish the line as a component of our argument in this case? I don't think so. That would be bailing out the ocean here and would be damaging to our argument. I am encouraged by the oppositions: they are arguing practicality, not any statutory interpretation that makes sense. We have an argument that worries them, and they and FCC are not comfortable here at all. 73, Chris W3KD

How ironic that just as the ODV micro-snit about hawking Amateur Radio badges was dying down, the Sunday New York Times ran an article entitled "Dressing Just Like the Boys in Blue" (June 2, 2002, Week in Review). The article mentions the Enhanced Federal Security Act passed in December 2002 that makes it illegal to traffic in police badges. The article is silent about badges that just look like a police badge from a distance of a few feet. 73, Darth

The ARRL-ODV list has been moved to a new platform here at HQ. While it will have many of the same features as the previous system, there are a few changes of which you should be aware. Using this new platform, all messages sent to the list will be scanned for viruses. As with all of our HQ systems, the virus scanner will be kept up to date, so that the risk of receiving a virus from anyone (assuming that we're speaking of mail associated with this list and not sent directly from individual to individual) on this list will be virtually zero. If you need to retrieve past messages from this list, please follow the steps below: 1. address an e-mail to lyris(a)reflector.arrl.org 2. In the subject line, enter get ARRL-ODV yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd, where ARRL-ODV is the listname and YYYYMMDD is the start date (in that format only) and end date of the message string that you are looking to retrieve. All past messages associated with this list have been archived to the new system and are available for retrieval using the above method. Please contact Andy Shefrin (ashefrin(a)arrl.org <mailto:ashefrin@arrl.org>) or myself if you have any questions. Thank you. Don Durand

Re: Airline Prices

3 JUN, 2002 - 1955 CDT Hello Tuck... According to what I heard on today's business news the airline industry's latest attempt at a general fare increase this past weekend just collapsed. You might want to recheck your fare comparisons and if the situation warrants, ask for a rebate. As a general rule, the cheapest fares are available 60 days ahead of the proposed departure date, and are most expensive if purchased later than 30 days in advance. Of course it may be possible to pick up a dirt cheap fare the week before departure on the Internet - but the routing, the times, and the validity period may not be optimum. 73 - Dick

Airline Prices
by Tuck Miller NZ6T ARRL SWD Vice Director 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

Just a note, a little over a week ago, I found online reservations for American Airlines for about $295 round trip. Today, that same reservation was going to cost me $410. To save the League money, I switched airlines for this trip. Now going Delta. If you have not made your reservations yet, you might want to very soon, as it looks as if the prices are going up, and going up fast!! 73, Tuck NZ6T -- ************************************************ Remember, Helping Others....Always Worthwhile!!
