[arrl-odv:13832] Radio News cover hmmm.....

Is it just me, or does that OM on the cover bear quite a resemblance to WJ1B? But I bet Harold doesn't have a cacophony at home anymore -- just from 90 staff and 30 board people?? Oh -- and BPL proponents :-)

[arrl-odv:13831] W1AW will NOT QSY on 160 for now
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Since the early 1980s the W1AW 160-meter CW frequency has been 1818 kHz (nominally -- we shifted to 1817.5 kHz a few years ago to avoid a birdie on 1818 that bothered some listeners). At the time that frequency was selected, most 160 meter DXing took place above 1825 kHz. However, in recent years -- as more countries have permitted their amateurs to operate below 1830 kHz -- more DX activity has been occurring lower in the band. Lately we have received more complaints about W1AW interfering with weak DX signals. Some of these complaints were about key cicks, which set us on a quest to put the cleanest transmitter we could find on 160. The key click problem appears to be under control, but we still thought it would be a good idea to shift the W1AW frequency lower in the band. The next opportunity to do so is the publication of the "daylight savings time" schedule that takes effect on April 3. After what we thought was due diligence we decided that it made sense to shift below 1810 kHz since that is the lower band edge in Region 1 and would pretty much eliminate the conflict with DXers, and after some monitoring it appeared that 1807.5 kHz was generally clear. Unfortunately, we failed to pick up the fact that PSK 31 operators appear to have adopted 1807 kHz as their 160-meter frequency. The band isn't nearly as heavily used for PSK 31 as, for example, 80 or 20 meters, but there is activity and we don't want to conflict with any established activity centers. Rather than try to find another frequency under time pressure (we have to publish the W1AW operating schedule 30 days in advance, which gives us a deadline of March 4) and because the summer isn't "high season" for 160 meter DX anyway, we have decided to rescind the shift in frequency and remain on 1817.5 kHz for now. We will revisit the question over the summer and try to gain consensus on a frequency to shift to when we go off DST in the fall. David Sumner, K1ZZ Trustee, W1AW PS to the Board: In particular, we don't want a flap about W1AW operating frequency selection to color the upcoming discussion of band planning processes.

Of course you're right, Jim. I think the main point of having every Board member write a letter is that it's hard for Directors to ask members to do something they haven't done themselves. We tried to make the process as painless as possible by providing a draft letter for each of you. I'm delighted to see that many Board members further personalized the draft. Apparently there was some confusion about the importance of providing a copy of your letter to Eric Heis. When Eric schedules a meeting with the staff of a Congressman he takes a sheaf of letters sent by the Congressman's constituents with him to show constituent interest. So, Chwat's office has file folders for each Congressional District for which we have letters. He needs a copy of each letter you (or any other member) send for those files -- not for the sake of filling file folders or for keeping score, but for "show and tell" in the Congressional offices. For future reference, Eric's contact information is: Attention: Eric Heis, KI4NFC Chwat & Company, Inc. 625 Slaters Lane, Suite 103 Alexandria, VA 22314 Fax: (703) 684-7594 Email: eric.heis(a)chwatco.com 73, Dave K1ZZ -----Original Message----- From: Jim Weaver, K8JE [mailto:k8je@arrl.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 11:40 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:13826] Re: Status of H.

[arrl-odv:13828] Update to the Board on ad hoc Grassroots Legislative Action Committee activity.
by Jim Weaver, K8JE 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

We are pleased to report that the Grassroots Legislative Action Committee has essentially completed gathering information from our Director colleagues concerning their perspectives on the Grassroots program - its present and future status, and needs. Much valuable information has been received through the gracious cooperation of these colleagues. This information is scheduled to be reviewed and discussed in a teleconference on March 8. Through this conference we will address the questions, concerns and suggestions brought to the Committee. The Committee's goal is to have this phase of our activity result in a formal action plan being available to present at the July meeting. In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions and make any suggestions to the Committee. Similarly, individual Committee members have found success in mustering their members into action on H. Res. 230 and other legislative activity. If you would like, feel free to contact us to learn about these so you can determine if you would like to adapt any of our actions for use in your Division. Directors may also receive follow-up telephone calls as the Committee progresses toward its present objective. These calls would be intended to test our understanding of your individual situations and if the fixes we are developing meet your needs. Tnx, 73, The ARRL ad hoc Legislative Action Committee: Jim Weaver, K8JE, Chair Bill Edgar, N3LLR Frank Fallon, N2FF Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF David Woolweaver, K5RAV

You can check the list of co-sponsors any time at thomas.loc.gov. Just check "Bill number" and enter "H.Res. 230" -- then click on "Bill Summary & Status" You will get the list, which is the same 6 co-sponsors we've had for a while.

Res. 230 Frank Fallon just inquired about an update on where we stand with H.Res 230 sponsors. Well......I don't know, but we'll get an update in the morning. There hasn't been any change since the last report, and there hasn't been enough time yet for our stepped up campaign to kick in, but we need to know so we can score our effort.
