Tom, I've been receiving new ham listings also (on behalf of a local club); however, do you receive these in a database form that is conducive to use as a mailing list? CU this week, 73, DX, Jim, K8JE Jim Weaver k8je(a)arrl.org

I believe Joel is right. Today I received the West Gulf Division New Licensees list in the mail. I will be glad when we can get that as an attachment in a form that we can sort it and print labels.

11 JAN, 2003 - 1210 CST I totally agree with Joel on this issue. In fact, I thought we had a general agreement last July that all documents would be sent as email attached files unless the recipient asks for hard copies through the USPS. Since an informal agreement does not appear to work, it looks like we need to enact a formal board policy on this issue next week. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Today there is a great story on the "Amateur Radio News" page about what the HSMM group is doing at 2.4 GHz with 802.11b amateur equipment. Take a look. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2003/01/10/3/?nc=1 Howie, K9KM

It is our understanding that the NTIA/RCS continues to object to the FCC WAC approved proposal for this Agenda Item despite the fact that the FCC proposal is consistent with U.S. proposals to prior Radio Conferences. > > We cannot agree that the views of administrations in Region 1 and 3 should take precedence over those of Region 2 on this issue. The status quo is very damaging to radio amateurs in the United States and elsewhere in Region 2 because it results in low-power amateur stations being subjected to paralyzing interference from high-power broadcasting stations in the other two regions. As a result, for much of the day the utility of the upper two-thirds of the band is drastically diminished. The 7-MHz allocation is the only primary amateur allocation between 4 and 14 MHz and therefore must bear a heavy load of regional and intercontinental communication by amateur stations. This interregional amateur/broadcasting incompatibility has long been recognized as an unfortunate anomaly deserving of correction. > > As a result of earlier objections voiced by fixed and mobile interests during the preparation of draft CPM text, no change in the allocations below 7000 kHz is being pursued except for a consequential upgrading of the mobile service requested by the fixed and mobile interests. The attachments to this message analyze what is actually occurring on a daily basis in the frequency range of 7300-7600 kHz; the analysis demonstrates that most of this frequency range already has been ceded to broadcasting and that the realignment proposed by the FCC would result in little if any additional reduction in fixed/mobile capabilities. > > We urge the NTIA to withdraw its objection and to allow the FCC proposal on Agenda Item 1.23 to form the basis for a U.S. Proposal for WRC-03. > > Sincerely, > > David Sumner > Chief Executive Officer, ARRL > > > <<ARRL analysis of BC above 7300 kHz.doc>> > > <<Key to HFCC list.doc>> > > <<HFCC 7300 kHz 02 winter.doc>>

[ARRL-ODV:8196] Status of US proposal on 7 MHz agenda item
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

My report for next week's Board Meeting refers to the NTIA's inclination to favor the status quo on the WRC-03 7 MHz Agenda Item 1.23. This afternoon I learned that the NTIA has officially gone on record as objecting to the FCC WRC-03 Advisory Committee draft proposal regarding 7 MHz and as recommending "no proposal" from the U.S. The attached letter was put into the record of the final WAC meeting earlier this week. It is our understanding that there will be another attempt to reconcile the differing views of NTIA and FCC. Separately I will forward to you our latest effort to influence that process. While it would be disappointing for the U.S. to make no proposal with regard to this Agenda Item it is preferable to a proposal for "No Change" or "NOC." That would commit the U.S. to actively oppose proposals from others. Dave K1ZZ <<wac169.pdf>>
