IN-Newsletter Vol. 26, No. 2 January 14, 2003 Upcoming Meetings January 16th in Newington, CT at 8:30am A & F Committee January 16th in Newington, CT at 8:30am Volunteer Resources Committee January 16th in Newington, CT at 8:30am Membership Services Committee January 17-18, 2003 in Windsor, CT Board Meeting Development The Development Office is working to prepare up-to-date financial reports on 2002 contributions to ARRL for the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors. The Defense of Frequencies Fund has reached $270,250 from 6,075 donors with a high average contribution of $44.49. The follow-up postcard mailed on December 24 has produced responses since January 1. While the public goal for the 2003 campaign was announced at $500,000, the budgeted goal is $385,000. The Diamond Club now has 446 donors who have contributed $68,515 in unrestricted donations. Development is working on the first quarterly report for the federal grant that is due January 31. Input from Dan Miller, Rosalie White and Mark Wilson will complete the report. A meeting will be held the week of Jan 20 to flesh our details and results for the first quarter. Work has begun on the 2003 Education & Technology Fund campaign. This direct mail campaign is expected to reach the full ARRL membership file in late February. New gifts have been chosen that will be displayed on the Web including compact binoculars, a heavy duty multi-purpose tool (like the Letherman), a Swiss Card tool card, a program tee shirt and a new program lanyard. This campaign is budgeted to raise $220,000. The inaugural campaign raised $250,000 in 2002. Media Relations The ITVA Amateur Radio PSA mentioned in last week's report has been duplicated, and Beta-SP copies are ready for distribution. Distribution will be done upon request, and the announcement of the spot's availability will come shortly. Jennifer prepared a report for the Volunteer Resources Committee meeting on the 16th at HQ. The report details the plans for Amateur Radio Week this year, with special emphasis on public service and emergency communications. The VRC requested the report, based on a motion made by Director Fallon at the last Board meeting. The PR Committee appointment letters have been completed and will be mailed on Monday, January 13. Terms will begin on January 20, after the Board meeting. The January issue of the new PR newsletter Contact! is in the works and will be posted to the Web soon. Production/Editorial Brennan Price reports that data submissions for the 2003-2004 Repeater Directory are well underway and are on last year's pace for one month from the submission deadline. So far, submissions have been received from Louisiana, Hawaii, Illinois, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Canadian Territories on all bands, and for the territory served by the New England Spectrum Management Council on the 52 MHz band. Reprints have been ordered for the QST View CD sets covering 1940-49 and 1950-59. Sales & Marketing Bob Inderbitzen prepared a news release for ARRL's upcoming publication, Experimental Methods in RF Design. The book begins shipping in early-February. It has been added to the online publications catalog at <http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=8799>. We're pleased with the results of our efforts to get the word-out on this new book in advance of its availability. Kanga US, one of our publication dealers and an importer of QRP kits, posted the release on their own web site within moments of receiving a dealer mailing covering the new offering. NE Division Director Tom Frenaye suggested that it might be worthwhile to have the ARRL publications catalog available on the Google catalog search engine. Google is among the most powerful online search engines. The company is presently building a catalog repository as they still determine how customers and advertisers will use the site and information. Janet Rocco has contacted Google and shared a copy of our own catalog with them. The service is currently free for publishers. We'll be watching to see how quickly the catalog appears on the site. Bob contributed (with others) to a comprehensive Master Planning Report covering major task planning for our group in 2003. Amateur Electronic Supply (AES) has set aside April 4 & 5 as dates for SuperFest 2003--largely an exhibition of major Amateur Radio manufacturers. Bob is planning ARRL's exhibit for the event as he has organized in past years. AES is a major ARRL publications dealer and advertiser. SuperFest is held at the AES store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Sales & Marketing team participated in a planning meeting for upcoming editions of ARRL's Technician class training materials. The meeting was organized and lead by Larry Wolfgang, and included discussions for the next editions of Now You're Talking! and ARRL's Tech Q & A. The meeting provided direction for covers, formats, and possible spin-off products. ARRL Advertising welcomes new QST advertiser Jovan Peric, KB9K. His business, MrHamRadio.com, produces credit-card size manuals for several contemporary transceivers. Jovan decided to give QST advertising a try after experiencing favorable response to a "New Products" announcement that appeared on page 38 of January 2003 QST. Advertising staff spent last week concentrating on mining prospects for future advertising. They also began to collect display ad and "Ham Ad" insertions for QST March 2003, and display advertising for the March/April 2003 issues of QEX and NCJ. A special promotional sheet, including increases rates, for advertising opportunities in the upcoming edition of the 2003-2004 Repeater Directory is now complete. It will be off to the printer this week. We begin the work of obtaining advertising insertions for the new edition of Now You're Talking! next week. Printed pieces for our January membership solicitation mailing have been received in house. The mailing will commence upon the return of the mailing list from Experian, our mailing list services vendor. The list was sent to them to be filtered through the NCOA (National Change of Address Database.) It is also being run through their updated zip-code correction program. This is the first time we have used outside assistance to procure better address information for lapsed and never members. Hopefully, the process will achieve a better rate of deliverability to recipients. The CD is expected back in house midweek. Based on information provided by R. R. Donnelley on several different types of advertising, Deb Jahnke and Bob Inderbitzen gleaned cost and time-frame information in order to formalize proposals to several advertisers.

DXCC is currently entering cards received on September 30, 2002. On Thursday, January 9, 2003 Andy Shefrin contacted ATS for help with the continuing DXCC problems. Martin Wittmann, the original programmer was assigned to the problem. By the end of the day Martin said that the problem was resolved and to just re-index our database. We did that and on the next day the program appeared to be working OK. DXCC resumed processing and so far it appears to be stable. DXCC staff is authorized overtime starting this week to reduce the backlog as quickly as possible. Contest Branch Several competitive paper logs for the November Sweepstakes were manually entered into a logging program to create the Cabrillo file for log checking. Data entry for November SS Cup and Pin orders continued and data entry for 160-Meter paper logs is up to date, with the complete Logs Received list to be posted shortly. Data entry for 10-Meter contest paper logs began. The IARU HF PDF file was finalized, posted to the website and sent to the various region secretariats as requested. The final results PDF was also posted for general access on the ARRL-web and IARU.org contest page. The Members-Only version of the results (including database) was opened to the public. We worked with the author of the September VHF QSO Party article on the QST and Web versions of the write-up. Some final problem logs were handled for the 2002 November CW SS, and the checked results should be available in-house next week. The merged list of Logs Received of paper and electronic logs for both Phone and CW Sweepstakes was prepared and posted. QSL Bureau QSL service status: Current. Cards mailed year to date as of 01/12/2003 - None. No cards were mailed this week. Heather Dzamba spent 2 hours conducting tours around HQ. W1AW Joe Carcia processed the text for the January W1AW Qualifying Runs. He also processed regular QSL card requests and installed another networked PC (for logging) in Visitor Studio Three. Scott Gee worked on fast and slow code practice files for the latter part of the month of January. He also handled some evening phone sales calls in the 5 PM to 8 PM time slot. W1AW telephone sales year to date (2003): $22.00. Field & Educational Services Rosalie provided Big Project history to Bill Gillis, VE1WG -- RAC is considering setting up something similar to The Big Project in Canada. She prepared Board Meeting materials. The National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster sent ARRL a thank you letter for work done by hams in 2002. Successful ARISS QSOs included one rescheduled for World Jamboree in Thailand, ones for two French schools, and one for a Montana school. Regulatory Information John Hennessee assisted an amateur with a local government antenna restriction in Little Egg Harbor Township, NY (K2SG). John has also submitted all chapters, now, to Production for the next edition of the FCC Rule Book. Field & Education Support Team Mary Lau reports that our new youth brochure "Leap Into Amateur Radio" is now in-house. Those wishing for sample or limited quantities of this 4-color brochure should contact Linda Mullally at ext #292. Margie Bourgoin sent paperwork for 12 new clubs to the EC for final vote. She also reports an increase in instructor orders. Gail Iannone sent 43 hamfest approval letters and 6 convention approval letters to the sponsoring committees confirming the Division Director's approval for the events to be ARRL-sanctioned. She also processed 8 door prize orders and 1 label request. Jean Wolfgang has been reviewing some of the educator and scouting web pages and recommending changes and updates. She also compiled a list of past winners of the International Humanitarian Award and sent it to the VRC. Linda Mullally registered 1 schoolteacher and 9 volunteer instructors. She updated records of 69 clubs and reactivated four others. Field Organization/Public Service Team Leona Adams handled over three dozen Field Appointments and associated initial supplies. This increase is, in part, attributed to three new SMs who just came into office. Leona processed many 2002 section expense reports; these were due last week. New ham labels and the latest section appointee listings were sent to SMs. Steve Ewald has been preparing the Public Service column for March QST, and monthly Field Organization reports are flowing in. Sixteen SM e-mail relays from 12 different SMs were released this past week. Chuck Skolaut handled four OO exams this week; two of the candidates passed. He has been keeping track of a number of interference complaints surrounding 14.275 MHz and several more reports arrived this week in that category. EmComm Grants Dan Miller reports that registration for this month's CNCS Level l emcomm on-line classes was filled by 200 students in the first few hours, leaving many potential students frustrated. The good news is that registration will open again in a little over 2 weeks. This week 49 hams graduated from CNCS Level l classes, bringing the overall total since CNCS classes began, to 569. All Connecticut UTC-sponsored Level l classes have closed; total grads were 251 for Level I and 28 for Level II. Amateur Radio Education and Technology Project Jerry Hill coordinated with each of the new Big Project Schools as to their equipment needs. He and Mary Hobart attended a Newington Education Foundation luncheon. He and Rosalie met with Bob Wisner, the Connecticut Science Fair Association president. We will probably use the Connecticut fair as a test. We could establish a middle school award, and provide two judges for physical science entrants. Jerry applied energy to convince Mr. Wisner, a former ham, to get back into ham radio. C-CE Howard Robins created Word and Excel templates to better automate the CNCS tuition reimbursement process and mentor payments. Reminder emails about the first 2003 Level I class automatically went to 60 hams last weekend. Our Web host posted the RFI course for review, and we have worked through numerous editorial fixes, along with technical "fixes" found by Mike Gruber and other reviewers. The course will go to mentors to assure they have the same information students will see. The first course offering should be in February. Jerry Ellis posted Level II Emcomm and Antenna Modeling classes for registration, processed mentor stipend checks for fourth quarter 2002, and mailed CNCS grad certificates, reimbursement checks and ID cards. He upgraded field exam session forms and Level l exams for printing, submitted forms to Tom Hogerty for Web posting, and made new answer key templates for Level II and III field exams. Thanks goes to Bev Fernandez for helping with projects. 73, Sincerely, Mark Wilson, K1RO Chief Operating Officer MW:lk Staff Absentee List Name Date(s) Reason Dave Sumner 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Mark Wilson 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Dave Patton 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Lisa Kustosik 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Mary Hobart 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Barry Shelley 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Rosalie White 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Wayne Mills 1/16-1/18 BOD Meeting Joel Kleinman 1/14 Vacation Dan Miller 1/31-2/2 Mississippi State Convention

[ARRL-ODV:8244] Report of the Third Vice President
by Fried Heyn(3rd VP) 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Report of the Third Vice President To the ARRL Board of Directors January, 2003 Ladies and Gentlemen: This second report for 2002 is my report as a vice president for the 2003 Annual Meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors. My service includes membership on the Volunteer Resources Committee and the Ad Hoc Planning Committee. The work of the VRC is important to the health of Amateur Radio, particularly in regard to our support of public service. Through the years there has been an increase in League volunteerism. Let us not forget we are not only a membership organization but in great part a volunteer organization. The value of the volunteers in Amateur Radio cannot be underestimated along with the need for the League to foster their efforts. The Planning Committee will be recommending a formal effort to develop a comprehensive strategic long-range plan. While it is costly to do it right, can we afford not to? We need to particularly take in consideration the upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-03) and the resulting actions that will impact Amateur Radio. With the likelihood of a future HF codeless license, we must be well positioned to make the most of this new opportunity to further Amateur Radio. The timing of this planning for the future must also take into account the development cycle of the budget for 2004. This past year my League representation has included: The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Convention in Las Vegas, NV: the International DX Convention in Visalia, CA; the Homeland Security Symposium in Huntington Beach, CA; the Amateur TV Network (ATN) annual meeting, covering two divisions; and the Cactus Intertie System annual meeting, covering six states. Since July of last year, my participation also involved the Western States Weak Signal Society (WSWSS) UHF/VHF/Microwave Conference, the Southwestern Division Convention, and the Girl Scout National Convention which supported a scout ham station on the main exhibit floor. Membership is the life blood of the League. And without the League, Amateur Radio would not be what it is today.if at all. As well as the League is doing in most areas, our membership is down from last year (along with the decline of the number of hams) despite our best efforts. Maybe it is time to consider what additional benefits we can offer as well as reducing the cost of dues if the economy continues to decline. At the same time, we need to find more ways to recruit folks that have yet to discover the excitement of Amateur Radio. Further, what dimensions can be added to Amateur Radio itself? It seems we have too many potential hams that show interest and even study for their first license but do not follow through. Maybe this is the weak link? As we look forward to the challenges of 2003, I would like to thank the Board of Directors led by President Jim Haynie for the opportunity to serve and the staff headed by Executive VP Dave Sumner for their tireless work for the betterment of the service. A special thanks goes to the A&F Committee chaired by Director Jay Bellows for the early release of the recommended new budget. Usually the one most important action the Board takes is the determination of the annual budget. Having time to grasp the implications gives the Board of Directors the best chance to meet their responsibilities towards setting the course for the current year and beyond. Respectfully submitted, Fried Heyn, WA6WZO (3rd) Vice President
