Dave, We wish you a speedy recovery with lots of success. That cast does not sound like much fun but surely this is the best approach to take, to get it over with. I suspect we will miss you prolific keyboarding for a while but I am sure it will return. We have to look for some humor once in a while. I never knew you used your right hand to send CW as a lefty but I am not too surprised. I am right handed and use my left hand on the mouse. Just a little humor. Hoping to see you back to full speed soon.

I have a hereditary condition called Dupuytren's Contracture, which if untreated will result in my fingers eventually curling into my palm (two of them are about halfway there already). My hand will be in a cast for a while, after which I'll have to wear a splint and do physical therapy. Keyboarding will be problematic for a while. Fortunately, while I'm left-handed, I send CW with my right hand. Dave K1ZZ

[ARRL-ODV:11505] MOU WITH MARS??
by Jim K8JE 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

QUESTION: Should we (ARRL) pursue developing an MOU with the national MARS organizations? BACKGROUND: The Ohio Army MARS Director is very eager to initiate an MOU with the Ohio ARES. He contacted me and I, of course, referred him to Ohio SM, K8QOE. This incident stimulated my curiosity as to our possibly already having a MOU with MARS, nationally. Upon checking our web site I did not find such an MOU. If I missed something, please let me know. Incidentally, in reading QST, Vol. I, No. 1, I note that T.O.M. was working on something resembling an MOU with the Military. Maybe someone ought to ask our chief archivist if one was generated and learn if it holds any legal significance to this day. Mr. Frenaye? 73, Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division ARRL; http://www.arrl.org/ 5065 Bethany Rd., Mason, OH 45040 Tel.: 513-459-0142; E-mail: k8je(a)arrl.org ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio Is!

[ARRL-ODV:11503] CNN story on free WiFi in San Francisco
by Kay Craigie 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

CNN's web site has a technology section story headlined "San Francisco aims for free citywide WiFi." The story begins: San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom set a goal Thursday of providing free wireless Internet activity in his city that sees itself as a vanguard of the Internet revolution. "We will not stop until every San Franciscan has access to free wireless Internet service," he said in his annual state of the city address. "These technologies will connect our residents to the skills and the jobs of the new economy." He said the city had already made free WiFi service available at Union Square and would add access to several other sections of the city including Civic Center around City Hall. The story ends with the statement that "other cities have started setting up large areas of WiFi coverage, including San Jose in Silicon Valley and parts of Long Beach, California." One ham at Pacificon who works in the computer industry commented to me that he and some of his pals plan to undercut BPL by setting up lots of free WiFi access points for the public to use. Whether or not they'll really do this is another thing, but it's a nice idea. 73 - Kay N3KN
