Report of the Programs and Services Committee
January 2006 ARRL Board Meeting
The P&SC has met four (4) times by telephone conference, once in person immediately before the July Board of Directors meeting and has scheduled a second in person meeting immediately prior to the January 2006 Board meeting.
As successor to the previous Membership Services Committee and the Volunteer Resources Committee, P&SC continues to monitor the tasks and activities of the Membership Services Department and Field & Educational Services. The primary tasks and activities we are working on are:
A. Membership Services
Oversight of the addition of Award verification using LOTW. WAS verification is scheduled for implementation early in 2006. Once the key element for WAS are in place other awards may be added, such as the Triple-Play Award, (WAS on CW, Phone & Digital) and even non-ARRL awards, subject to successful discussions with the Award sponsors.
Working with staff regarding the expansion and promotion of League operating awards and member services in QST and on the ARRL Website. Changes presently planned include highlighting contest listings with color; providing additional material in the ARRL Newsletter on contest activities; featuring ARRL contests in the Contest Rate Sheet.
Highlighting and promoting the A-1 Operator Award. N7NG will have a proposal for an A-1 Operator Award pin design for presentation at the January Board Meeting. The committee is also discussing whether the criteria for A-1 Operator nomination should place less emphasis on traffic handling and more on general good operating skills.
The committee continues to work with and encourage staff to expand promotion of League operating awards and member services in QST and on the ARRL Website. Changes presently planned include emphasizing contest listings with color; providing additional material in the ARRL Newsletter and featuring ARRL contests in the Contest Rate Sheet.
The committee continues to discuss proposed changes in the Field Day GOTA Rules to encourage expanded GOTA operations and pairing of experience operators with new and inexperienced Amateurs to improve operating and contesting skills.
