Since the July Board meeting Development has been working with various departments at HQ on the launch of the Membership Loyalty Program approved by the Board. We developed an implementation plan to start recognizing members of 50 years or more. In the course of our planning we discovered some problems with the Siebel data that determines the length of membership. At present we are working to determine the extent of the problems and to develop a plan to clean up the data and move forward with the program. I will keep the Board advised of our progress. 73, Mary K1MMH

The third candidate declared eligible is Doug Loughmiller, W5BL, who is running for Vice Director of the West Gulf Division. David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary

The new paradigm as quoted from the piece cited by Art. Lawmakers and regulators can help broadband grow, Bush said. "There's a role for us here in Washington - to help the entrepreneurs and innovators in our country succeed," he said. I still prefer another Republican's view of the role of government, "[A] government of the people, by the people and for the people....." A. Lincoln.

I have only gotten about a half dozen, but they seem to be unhappy. One, in particular, is the operator of a PMBO in ST. Thomas, USVI, using Pactor 3. He doesn't like the idea of no wideband digital on 30 meters. Was there a reason for this? He relays a lot of traffic for hams on sailboats in the Caribbean. 73, Frank, W4RH ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay Craigie" <n3kn(a)comcast.net> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 11:51 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:11123] Bandwidth petition > Are you hearing much from your members about the bandwidth petition?

Other than for a handful of "why does ARRL always favor (insert name of mode here)?" I'm not getting much. As many members are writing in support of the idea as are writing against it. Most are asking for clarification. One exception is the issue of removing digital greater than 500 Hz from 30 M. About three digi-gurus have contested this. I sent a note to Dave last night asking if this was an oversight or intentional. I admit that I had missed it and am not particularly happy about any real "takeaways" from the troops. Of course, there are a handful of "I don't like its" who don't seem to know why the don't like it.
