[ARRL-ODV:7424] [Fwd: [Dewayne-Net] PUBLIC INVITED TO REVIEW DRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN]

The FCC has released a new strategic plan, 2003-2008, available through the URL referenced below. It makes for interesting reading. Goal 4 of the document deals with Homeland Security. Amateur Radio isn't mentioned at all. Seems to me ARRL might consider submitting a formal comment, commenting, asking that and item be added to the Means and Strategies section of Goal 4 mentioning Amateur Radio. For example, "Increase governmental and non-governmental awareness of emergency communications capabilities of the Amateur Radio Service." Is there any downside to this? 73.

Bill, if we are to get the segment proposed on 60 meters in our lifetime, we would like to keep it in the OET division of the FCC. If we start trying for segmentation, it will then go to WTB of the FCC and could be up to several more years before a decision is made. I have had a number of conversations with the FCC over this and trust me, we do not want to muddy the waters at this point. There are too many hurdles to jump before we might get a portion of the 5 MHz band. Of course the board can vote however they feel is best, but I am going to encourage them to leave it as originally proposed. 73 Jim Haynie, W5JBP President, ARRL

Morning: With all the "stuff" we seem to be getting on our email accounts, and from web page visits, there seems to be no end to the spam and other advertising that we are getting shoved down our throats. Here is a great site to help you understand and deal with all of these kind of things. http://www.cexx.org/adware.htm Enjoy and 73, George --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[ARRL-ODV:7417] F'Hafen

Greetings, IVP Rod Stafford, Dave Patton, Wayne Mills, and I yesterday wrapped another successful trip on behalf of ARRL to the 2002 Ham Radio in Friedrichshafen, Germany. This was the last year for the event to be held at the "old" facility as they will move the convention to a brand new convention center next year. While I haven't heard any figures from DARC yet, I would estimate the attendance about the same as last year, 15000 +. There was continuous, brisk activity at the ARRL booth and good discussion and interface with our IARU sister societies from Region I. A number of items were addressed by the delegation. I'll leave specifics to Rod. He'll be returning in a few days. I am still in Europe on business and will not return until the weekend. I did not have email access in F'hafen but I am now back online from England and Denmark. I have downloaded 300+ emails, so if you have one in the queue awaiting my attention, please be patient and I'll start working them down. I see Director Maxwell has generated a brisk discussion about Section News....it is good the see the discussion before the board meeting. 73 Joel W5ZN
