[arrl-odv:14111] McCain Support in the Senate

24 May '06

We have received some exciting news regarding our effort in getting H.Res 230 type language into the Senate's version of the telecom bill in the Senate Commerce Committee. Through the efforts of Chwat & Co. and those of the Arizona amateur radio licensees, Sen. John McCain’s office has contacted the senior committee staff asking for the Chairman’s support of our language in his Manager’s amendment or requesting that Sen. McCain offer the amendment himself. 73 Joel W5ZN

Wonderful! Additional proof that "the people" (i.e., us) do have power to effect change. A tap of the ole key to our Legislative strategists!

"Made a profit" last year? Barry can verify, but I believe that would be true only if we left cost of goods sold and cost of delivering services to members out of the equation. ARRL Expo in 2005 was a wonderful success and this year's reprise was also a wonderful success, but the real payoff is in goodwill and image rather than immediate bottom line. They're working hard upstairs to get the numbers pulled together. By the way, let me make this opportunity to thank the volunteers, especially those who travelled to Dayton on their own nickel, for putting in so much time at ARRL Expo. We couldn't possibly have managed to leave such a positive impression on the visitors to Expo without you.

I realize everybody is probably still in the recover and catch-up mode from this past weekend. But when the number is a available, I'm sure everybody would like to know if we covered our expo-induced expenses, or made a profit as we did last year. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Hi Dave, Good Luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery! 73, Henry - WD4Q ----- Original Message ----- From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ To: arrl-odv Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 8:08 PM Subject: [arrl-odv:14103] DS out Friday Some of you may recall that in October 2004 I had surgery on my left hand to correct a progressive condition that was causing me not to be able to straighten some of my fingers. This coming Friday I am having the same thing done to my right hand. I will only be out the one day, but it remains to be seen how much I will be able to do with my right hand for at least a couple of weeks afterwards. In other words, I probably won't be typing War and Peace next week, nor will I be doing a serious WPX CW entry this weekend. 73, Dave K1ZZ
