If the distribution is as limited as Bell says, then we can't put it up on our web site again. The "severely limited" reference that "everybody should know" is not at all clear. I have no idea what we can do with this and what we can't now, but based on this, and based on the fact that we don't have any written releases from anyone at all, I suggest that we not put the video back up on the web site, because at that point, there is a possibility that others will see it and use it.

Since the prohibition on broadcast use of the Amateur Radio Today video came from Dave Bell, I asked him for comments on Jim Weaver's question about use of the video on closed-circuit TV system in a school. Here is his reply. Mark -----Original Message----- From: DBellW6AQ(a)aol.com [mailto:DBellW6AQ@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 6:36 PM To: Wilson, Mark K1RO Subject: Re: Video CD Mark: Here's what I sent to Jim, K8JE. Jim: I want to clarify my previous position of "broadcasting" of the new ARRL video. This video is NOT to be transmitted over the air, even on a microwave setup, and not to be put on local cable systems, etc. If there is any possibility that someone other than the intended audience (IE: junior high school kids and teachers) will see the video, then it shouldn't be shown. We are all pleased that this video is being so well received, but the ARRL's rights are severely limited and everybody should know that. If a school or school system gets its classroom videos over a closed circuit system, that's fine. If it's an open circuit system, IE: microwave or VHF, then it's not okay. I hope that clears it up. 73, Dave Bell, W6AQ

[ARRL-ODV:8326] Out-Sourcing
by dick＠pobox.com 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

28 JAN, 2003 - 1735 CST This item was forwarded to me by another ham who is the IT at a small college. It appears that out-sourcing to the lowest bidder is not always the cheapest way to go. The problem described in the article below has ramifications throughout the world-wide electronics industry. http://www.ttiinc.com/MarketEye/zogbi_on_passives_20021014.asp 73 - Dick, W9GIG

[ARRL-ODV:8325] New Licensees
by Shelley, Barry, N1VXY 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

As requested a couple of weeks ago on the reflector, we have posted the first electronic lists of new licensees and Amateurs who have upgraded their licenses on the ODV section of the ARRL Web Page. The files are by Division and include both new (designated as XX1) and upgraded (XX4) licenses. The information can be accessed under the link to "ODV Files". There is also a short description file at the end of the list of files on the page. The files on the page at this point include the December information. We will update these files monthly and send a note to the Board to let you know when the new information is available. If anyone has any questions about the information or how to use it you can contact either myself or Don Durand. 73, Barry, N1VXY

Chris: I have reviewed and have no comments to offer at this time. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: W3KD(a)aol.com [mailto:W3KD@aol.com] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 8:41 PM To: arrl-odv Cc: prinaldo(a)mindspring.com Subject: [ARRL-ODV:8307] Spectrum Policy Task Force Report Comment Draft Greetings. Well, the attached draft is late, but as they say, it was a helluva week. Please review these draft comments. I would be grateful for any editorial comment, especially as to items that we might have glossed over in the SPTF Report.These are due Monday, January 27, 2003. Normally, of course, the Executive Committee would review draft comments, but this issue is a more wide-ranging policy proceeding, rather than something about which our position is more obvious. Some disclaimers: Mr. Sumner has NOT had a chance to review this draft yet. Nor has Mr. Rinaldo, though I have spoken with Paul at some length about the tenor of the comments. I will be making edits on Monday prior to the deadline. We will also, of course, have a good opportunity to file reply comments by February 28, so we will have another bite at this apple. This is not your last chance. 73, Chris W3KD
