Our success in Geneva was made the lead item in our Fall 2003 Spectrum Defense Fund drive, which met its goal and helped narrow what otherwise would have been an even larger budget gap during 2003. Broadband over Power Lines has occupied much of our attention since the July 2003 Board Meeting and was the subject of half of the QST editorials I wrote during the period. Otherwise, the second half of the year was devoted mainly to positioning the ARRL to meet future challenges. During 2004 we will pay appropriate tribute to the Leagues 90th Anniversary, but more attention should be paid to the future than to the past. As the saying goes, thats where we will be spending the rest of our lives. With that in mind, the agenda for the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Board sets aside time for a presentation and discussion of the results of the market study conducted on our behalf by Readex, Inc. during September-October 2003. The study, the overall findings of which were distributed to officers and directors in December, documents a sobering decline in Amateur Radio activity. There are two basic courses of action open to us: (1) accept the downward trend line as the new reality and adjust ARRLs activities and programs accordingly, or (2) consider what steps can be taken to reverse the trend line and stimulate new growth. I believe we should take the second path. There are some steps we can take at this meeting to get us started. For one, the Volunteer Resources Committee will be offering options for an ARRL Volunteer Elmer (Mentor) Program. Such a program could make a real difference in how many new licensees become active, devoted radio amateurs. For another, the Executive Committees study of Article 25 implementation showed that the present entry-level (Technician) amateur license has significant shortcomings as an introduction to Amateur Radio. We need a 21st Century Novice license, with privileges broad enough to offer some excitement but sufficiently limited so that (1) the scope of the examination does not have to be too daunting, and (2) there remains plenty of motivation to learn more in order to upgrade. BPL The February QST editorial provides members with an update on BPL as of just before Christmas. Recent developments include: After giving the matter careful study, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is now part of the Department of Homeland Security, concluded that BPL could not be implemented in the HF radio spectrum without significant detriment to national security and emergency preparedness requirements. FEMA has advised the FCC accordingly, in comments filed in response to the Notice of Inquiry in ET Docket 03-104. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which already has expressed concerns about potential BPL interference to the FCC, has taken measurements at BPL test sites and is expected to issue a report sometime early in 2004. We are lobbying for the FCC to wait for the NTIA report to be made public before proceeding toward issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on BPL. FCC Commissioner Abernathys Senior Legal Adviser, Matt Brill, clarified earlier remarks the Commissioner had made that appeared to be an uncritical endorsement of BPL. In fact, we have been assured, Ensuring that BPL and all new technologies avoid causing harmful interference to licensed RF users is a bedrock position [emphasis added] for Commissioner Abernathy. She did not intend to suggest, we were told, that BPL necessarily will emerge as a viable platform or that it does not present interference issues. On November 7 the National Association of Broadcasters hosted an ARRL-sponsored meeting of 25 representatives of organizations that are concerned about BPL. During the meeting, representatives from the shortwave broadcasting, public safety, aeronautical and scientific communities joined amateur, amateur-satellite, and industry representatives to discuss the threat of BPL and possible avenues to combat its interference potential to licensed HF and low-VHF spectrum users. Military and consumer electronics representatives participated as observers. Even the power industry has been expressing doubts about the viability of BPL. In a November 12 article in EPRI Journal online the Electric Power Research Institute reports the publication of a study that analyzes five very sobering influences on BPL: money, performance, utility motivation, competition, and the timing of its introduction into the market alongside other more mature technologies. The elusive silver bullet (commercially proven, long-distance high-speed PLC [power line communications]) remains, at this point, a target and not an accomplishment, the article concludes. In a separate development, Progress Energy, a power utility in North Carolina, has shown its willingness to work with amateurs to assess interference issues. We learned of one BPL system that does not operate at HF: Corridor Systems of Santa Rosa, California, says it has successfully demonstrated 216 Mbps capacity by using a Œ-mile segment of power line as a microwave transmission line. If you recall the description of G-line single-wire UHF transmission line in 1960s ARRL publications you will recognize the concept; Corridors E-line is said to be a variation on the theme. In any case, as long as Corridor avoids using HF to link from the medium-voltage power line to individual customers, their system deserves to be distinguished from the spectrum polluters whose systems operate below 80 MHz and we have endeavored to do so. In Zaragoza, Spain, PLC (the European term for BPL) has been documented to be causing extremely serious interference. In-depth information in Spanish, including an 18-page technical report prepared by the Zaragoza branch of Unión de Radioaficionados Españoles, is available at HYPERLINK "http://www.ure.es/plc/" www.ure.es/plc/. Documented interference apparently led to the cessation of a field test in Linz, Austria. These and other reports put the lie to the oft-repeated but utterly false claim by BPL proponents that their technology has not caused harmful interference. Why they persist in denying plain facts and why they think they can get away with it is one of the mysteries of the whole BPL scenario. In Manassas, Virginia, a very small-scale pilot program is about to be extended to four subdivisions of 2,100 residences. We are watching this very closely and intend to press for FCC enforcement in response to the first evidence of harmful interference from the permanent installation. We have contracted with Metavox, Inc. to conduct independent measurements of interaction between BPL and Amateur Radio stations in the Washington, DC vicinity. We anticipate that much of their work will be done in Manassas. The City of Lompoc, California, studied the feasibility of various methods of providing broadband services to its citizens and concluded that BPL was not a viable method of doing so. In December, two Texas businessmen were indicted on wire fraud and money laundering charges in a scheme that defrauded South Carolina Electric & Gas out of $1 million. The two allegedly convinced the utility that the money would be used for BPL research, but they used it for other purposes instead. In his report General Counsel Imlay observes, and I agree, that we need to do more in-person lobbying at the FCC. Paul Rinaldo has developed a set of talking points. We need to show why the existing Part 15 limits which may be fine for point-source, intermittent, narrowband emitters are grossly inadequate to protect over-the-air radiocommunication services from BPL. American Samoa You may have seen various items in the DX press about the formation of the American Samoa Amateur Radio Association (ASARA). This is a positive development with one exception: the idea that the new association should apply for IARU membership. Briefly, Kan Mizoguchi, JA1BK, likes to "invent" DXCC countries. A few years ago we made what in retrospect was a mistake in rewriting the DXCC rules in such a way that, if a DXCC entity has its own IARU member-society, it is treated as if it were sovereign for the purposes of measuring distance to an island to see if the island is a separate DXCC country. This becomes important when islands are between 350 and 800 km away. If applied only in cases where there is an existing IARU member-society, there would be no problem. However, Kan used this provision to engineer a new DXCC entity, Ducie Island, by getting the Pitcairn Island Amateur Radio Association (PIARA) admitted to the IARU. Apparently he intends to make a habit of this. There is such an island in American Samoa: Swain's Island. If American Samoa is separately represented in the IARU, Swain's Island will qualify as a separate DXCC entity. In pursuit of that objective, apparently Kan has persuaded some people that American Samoa ought to have its own IARU member-society. Other than Swain's Island, there is no reason for American Samoa to be separately represented in the IARU. It has always been represented in the IARU by the ARRL, and is part of the reason why the ARRL is a member of IARU Region 3 (the rest being Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Baker, Howland, Jarvis, and Wake Islands, Palmyra Atoll, and Kingman Reef) as well of IARU Region 2. American Samoa is of course not separately represented in the UN system, so adding it to the list of IARU member-societies would buy us nothing at the ITU. Licensed amateurs in American Samoa are eligible to be Full Members of the ARRL and to participate fully in Pacific Division and Pacific Section affairs. Its amateur licensees are licensed by the FCC, so having it separately represented in the IARU would create a situation whereby the ARRL would no longer be recognized by the IARU as exclusively representing amateur radio to the FCC. If American Samoa were separately represented in the IARU there would be no basis for denying separate representation for Guam, the Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Under the IARU Constitution, there can be only one IARU member-society per "country or separate territory." The "separate territory" provision allows, for example, for the Radio Society of Great Britain not to have to represent Bermuda in the IARU. (Bermuda is separately represented and in times past has been a very active member of IARU Region 2.) However, the provision does not require separate representation; for example, the Azores and Madeira are autonomous regions of Portugal but are represented in the IARU by REP in Lisbon. Because Pitcairn Island is a British territory, the application of PIARA for admission to the IARU had to be accompanied by a letter from the Radio Society of Great Britain stating that it had no objection to the application. (Even so, PIARA was barely admitted; there were 57 affirmative votes required and they only received 58.) Such a letter would be required from the ARRL in order for an application for IARU membership from ASARA to be considered. In a letter that was virtually a carbon copy of the letter sent by PIARA to RSGB, such a letter was requested of President Haynie who of course declined. Apparently the ASARA is a brand new organization. If it is a legitimate entity the best way forward for them would be to apply for ARRL affiliation and drop the idea of separate IARU representation, but of course that would not suit Kan's purposes. (There is an ARRL affiliated club in American Samoa, the Samoa Amateur Radio Association, but it appears to be inactive.) Rod Stafford and I will be representing the ARRL at the Region 3 Conference in Taipei next month. We anticipate some heat over American Samoa. It would be extremely helpful to us for the Board, prior to the Taipei Conference, to delete the DXCC rule that makes separate IARU membership the basis for a political entity. This is important not only to defuse the situation with regard to American Samoa, but also to head off additional applications for IARU member-societies on behalf of other territories, such as Easter Island, that are already represented in the IARU by a society on the mainland. Other IARU matters In his report (Document #8) Rod Stafford has done an admirable job reporting on IARU affairs, particularly with regard to IARU Region 2. I commend the report to your attention. The only flaw I could detect is that he did not attribute as much credit as is deserved for the renewed vitality of Region 2 to its Secretary who is, incidentally, Rod Stafford. Rod also performed extremely well as the ARRL representative who presented the nominations for IARU President and Vice President for the next five-year term to the IARU Administrative Council at its September 2003 meeting. The process always seems to involve a new diplomatic wrinkle, and this round was no exception. Action plan for implementation of additional Field Organization recommendations At the July 2003 meeting I was tasked to study and determine the necessary action to implement the recommendations contained in the Volunteer Resources Committee Final Report to the ARRL Board of Directors, An Evaluation of the ARRLs Field Organization not otherwise specifically addressed by separate motion to the Board of Directors. An action plan for the implementation is to be completed and submitted to the Board of Directors no later than December 31, 2003 for consideration at the January, 2004, Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors. The action plan is contained in Document #40 which was distributed to the Board on December 31. Annexes Annexed to this report are two separate documents. Document #10A on media relations was prepared by Jen Hagy, N1TDY. Document #10B was prepared by Derek Riker, KB3JLF, and gives the status of our Legislative Affairs program. Paul Rinaldos report on Technical Regulatory Affairs, Document #15, rounds out the advocacy picture. It is worth emphasizing that Pauls staff is already hard at work on preparations for WRC-07. Closing I am grateful to the entire staff for exceptional performance during 2003. It was a challenging year in many ways. I am especially mindful of the outstanding support of the organization and of me personally by the other senior staff officers and my direct reports, Lisa Kustosik, Dave Patton, Jen Hagy, and Paul Rinaldo, as well as by Chris Imlay. I am equally grateful to the volunteer officers, directors, and vice directors, as well as to the thousands of ARRL volunteers and members who make our League so much more than just another association. The staff is committed to delivering on the longstanding promise that 2004 will be a year not only of a balanced budget, but also of a balanced result. With that foundation on which to build, we can fashion a bright future for Amateur Radio and the ARRL.

We will be renting a 7 passenger van. It will be more cost efficient since the shuttle really hasn't taken more than 6 people at any given time. In saying that, individuals that have cars might consider car-pooling with others. Thank you. Lisa, KA1UFZ

Coy, Thanks, buddy. I see I never responded. Sorry about that. It was pretty hectic as I was getting ready to leave for England on December 11th. We had a great time but it was hectic getting ready to leave. On another matter: I am again going to put my hat into the ring for the EC. I feel it is the place where I can be most effective in pushing our legislative agenda which is my main interest. I hope you will be able to vote for me in that position. I hope the snow does not give you problems. See you on Thursday. 73, Frank Fallon........

It is well known among us opera afficienadoes that the famous recicitive in Rossini's "Barber of Seville" is, when translated from the Italian, a lyric cry for retention of CW at 5 WPM for extra class sopranos and tenors. 73 Sandy (the opera ain't over until the fat Vice Director sings), W4RU ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wade Walstrom" <walstrom(a)mchsi.com> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 9:56 PM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9938] This Is A New One On Me! > I have been conducting an informal poll on the Morse code test > requirement question this weekend in the Midwest Division.

I have been conducting an informal poll on the Morse code test requirement question this weekend in the Midwest Division. The response has been very good, and I thought I had heard all the arguments both pro and con until I received this one: "The fact is, I love opera and find myself hypnotized by CW because it is arrythmic.

[ARRL-ODV:9937] Virus Alert!
by Andy Oppel 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

Greetings, I have received two e-mails today with the subject "Important Fraud Alert from Citibank", both of which have a Trojan Horse Virus in them. Both were addressed to N6AJO(a)ARRL.ORG, which is why I am alerting you as well. If you get an e-mail with the subject shown above, hopefully your virus scanner will catch it, but if not, I suggest deleting it without opening it. The first e-mail appears to have come from Finland. However, the second appears to have come from a client computer that is using Pacific Bell DSL out of their Irvine, CA office (the client IP address is 68.122.96.167), so it is possible, if not likely, that someone in Southern California opened the message, infected their computer, which is now forwarding the virus to everyone in that person's address book. If the e-mail subject looks familiar, and you thing you might have opened it, you may want to update your virus scanner and scan your system. It's unusual to see viruses targeting arrl.org addresses, so (from one of my fav TV shows) "Let's be careful out there." -- Andy Oppel, N6AJO >X-McAfeeVS-TimeoutProtection: 0 >Return-Path: <Carolina_Sika(a)netscape.net> >Delivered-To: andy@5 >Received: (qmail 37086 invoked by uid 89); 11 Jan 2004 20:27:37 -0000 >Received: from unknown (HELO SMTP.ARRL.ORG) (69.0.106.218) > by mail.norselandconstruction.com with SMTP; 11 Jan 2004 20:27:37 -0000 >Received: from mail.ARRL.ORG ([10.1.120.113]) by SMTP.ARRL.ORG with >Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); > Sun, 11 Jan 2004 15:20:46 -0500 >Received: from pacbell.net ([68.122.96.167]) by mail.ARRL.ORG with >Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); > Sun, 11 Jan 2004 15:20:45 -0500 >Received: from adsl-68-122-96-167.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net >(adsl-68-122-96-167.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net [68.122.96.167]) > by pacbell.net (8.12.8p1/8.12.8) with ESMTP id vqkbm33495 > for <n6ajo(a)arrl.org>; Mon, 12 Jan 2004 10:17:25 -0400 (EST) >Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 10:17:23 -0400 (EST) >From: Citibank <citibank2193(a)netscape.net> >X-Mailer: The Bat!
