[ARRL-ODV:10971] ARES Logo, etc

Hi All, I've had a couple of e-mails asking what on earth were we thinking concerning the copyright of the ARES logo. One of them said that you are asking us to use the copyright symbol and in the latest articles on the ARRL web site, you are not using it. Oooops! Anyone else hearing this?

24 JUL, 2004 - 1045 CDT Spelling, and the use of a spell-checker, is not Bill Pasternak's style. Ever since Newsline went electronic, there have been frequent, sometimes humorous spelling mistakes and word choices. As I have gotten older, I find I have to check my typing more carefully and I still mess a few. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

I don't receive nor read Pasternak's rag...he must have accidentally fallen into my spam list and gets bounced after refusing to remove me from his mailing list. I don't know what he is referring to, but maybe he's learned about the newly discovered Bastard of the Board and is trying to make reference to that! Who knows.....or cares. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: Kay Craigie [mailto:n3kn@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 9:13 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10964] Kum Bah Yah?

Kay, I'm sure he chose the word "bard" carefully. After all Avon isn't too far from Windsor so we must be neighboring bards.

Icom videos from Dayton: http://www.icomamerica.com/amateur/video/ The last one is especially nice. The guy that did the videos, John/W7NWH, did them for not much more than a plane ticket to Dayton bought by Icom. Maybe we should be talking to him... He's looking for more work. Very nice to talk to on the phone. Anxious to promote ham radio, especially to a younger audience. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki(a)arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444

[ARRL-ODV:10963] Another BPL article
by Tom Frenaye 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Another industry article about BPL. Mentions ARRL but the bottom line is the steamroller is coming. http://www.telecommagazine.com/default.asp?journalid=3&func=articles&page=0… Might be nice to reply to the article but we can't gain much at all by fighting a reactionary battle. How can we generate some articles aimed for the dozens of trade publications? We need to. Are articles like this of use? Should I keep posting the URLs as I run across them? I have no clue whether there is anyone tracking the articles, responding to them and/or using the information to help with our PR and engineering efforts. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki(a)arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444

[ARRL-ODV:10962] Re: Bandwidth petition status

Dave: Excellent historical prospectus. Thanks Dennis _____ From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 11:30 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10953] Bandwidth petition status This will bring you up to date on the petition to regulate subbands by bandwidth. Because not everyone receiving this message was at the Board meeting I will start with a brief recap. July 2002 Board Meeting, Minute 64, says: "64. On motion of Mr. Frenaye, seconded by Mr. Stinson, it was VOTED that at the next practical opportunity the ARRL shall petition the FCC to revise Part 97 to regulate subbands by signal bandwidth instead of by mode." Turning that principle into a practical draft petition took a while and involved getting input from the Ad Hoc HFDigital Committee. At the January 2004 Board Meeting you were provided a draft petition along with a list of questions on which we needed further guidance. Based on the discussion at that meeting, the draft petition was revised and was given to the Executive Committee for its review on March 13. The EC's review showed that a bit more "cleaning up" of the draft needed to be done. The EC also decided that the petition should be explained to the ARRL membership BEFORE it was filed. We don't want to publish the entire draft petition prior to filing; that would give someone the opportunity to take our work product and either put their own name on it and file it, either as written or with some modifications. However, we do need to give members a clear explanation of what's being proposed and why, and how it might affect their operating interests. We also need to give them an opportunity to ask questions and offer comments, without submitting to a referendum the decision that the Board alreasdy made back in 2002. Between the EC Meeting and the Board Meeting there was not much time available to address this, our principal preocupation being BPL. During and since last week's Board Meeting two things have occurred. First, Paul, Chris and I have reviewed the March draft and have determined that it can be simplified somewhat. We also identified several corrections that needed to be made. As I type this, Chris is revising the draft and will leave it with Paul and me for our review when he goes on vacation at the end of the day. Second, as mentioned at the Board Meeting, I have devoted the September QST editorial (attached) to "Regulation by Bandwidth." The editorial, written yesterday around dealing with the North Carolina BPL situation, sets the stage for our putting the synopsis and explanation of the petition on the Web by the time September QST reaches members. Note: the URL mentioned in the editorial is NOT YET ACTIVE. I plan to have the final draft of the petition in the Board's hands next week. Then, while you're reviewing it and asking whatever questions you may have, the synopsis and explanation will be prepared. When it goes on the Web, preferably during the second week of August, a special temporary email address such as "bandwidth(a)arrl.org" will be established to collect comments/questions. When we've "taken the temperature" of the membership we can make the final determination as to filing, certainly no later than the October 16 EC Meeting. 73, Dave Sumner, K1ZZ <<qs0409.pdf>>
