Jim, This is excellent news. Can't have too much of this kind of news. <grin> - Bill N3LLR _____ From: James McCobb [mailto:w1llu@verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 7:34 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:12010] Re: Cash Flow Hi all, I just want to let you all know that for the first time in a number of years the Leagues regular cash flow was able to make the pension payment recently due, which was in the range of $450,000. There were a variety of factors that contributed to this feat---significant increase in Handbook sales late last year, cash from Contributions,etc. Also, the regular cash flow was able to cover a small overdraft that I incurred in the investment cash account to the tune of $10,000. They made me (the investment cash account) a loan , but they have forgiven it (and me) so I don't have to pay it back. As far as I know HQ's has not had to remove any cash from the investment accounts this year. Hope all of you are well and look forward to seeing you guys (and ladies) in Dayton. 73, Jim W1LLU

FYI, I've not discussed comp. passes for the ARRL Convention with my Hamvention counterparts. I have a meeting with the Committee on 4/8 and will get an answer on this. I'm going for all Directors/Officers at a minimum and will try to extend this to all Vice Directors who will attend. From past experience, Forum moderators automatically receive passes/parking passes. I presume non-Offices, Directors and Vice Directors who attend will either be presenters or staff who will accompany the sales side of our presence. I NEED YOUR INPUT, THEN: If you will attend the Hamvention this year, please let me know between today and this coming Monday so I can have a count to propose to the appropriate folks at the Hamvention. Tnx. C Y'all (I'm still practicing to speak Kentucky!)

This is absurd! For an ARRL National Convention, I object to any ARRL officials having to pay their way into their own convention and then having ARRL reimburse the cost. We should be credentialed by the Hamvention as exhibitors and admitted free of charge. If this provision was not included in the convention agreement, it should have been. ARRL convention or approved hamfest = free admission for ARRL staff, directors and officers If ARRL is going to have to pay for our admission, is there a net savings in having ARRL headquarters obtain exhibitor passes as opposed to having ARRL directors buy admission tickets at full retail? - Dick, W9GIG

28 MAR, 2005 - 1640 CST Hello Tom... I have no knowledge about the last ARRL Dayton National Convention. However, at the last ARRL National Convention in Arlington, Texas, I believe all attending ARRL officials were credentialed as exhibitors and were not charged a registration or admission fee. I know I did not have to buy or display a ticket. Coy Day or Jim Haynie should be able to verify this. - Dick, W9GIG

A list of the Directors & Officers >planning to attend can very easily be provided. I don't recall it being done at the last National at Dayton. When I go to a hamfest or convention (even a National) sometimes they offer free admission, sometimes they don't. If there's that much of an issue with having to register individually I'm pretty sure it can be done at HQ - but I assumed since everyone is making their own travel arrangements this wouldn't be too hard to do. Anyhow, give us a few days to see what the options are. -- 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
