[arrl-odv:15181] Two Items
by Joel Harrison 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

A&F Committee cc:ARRL-ODV Tom (A&F Chairman), I have two items I request the A&F committee consider and take action on. I am sending this to the ODV reflector so everyone will be aware of this email and also be aware of the situations that have prompted my proposal. Let's be very serious about this everyone - these practices are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated! This includes every Officer (yes, even me), Director and Vice Director. Here are my proposals: 1. Mandating a time frame with which to submit expenses for reimbursement. 2. Set a policy that requires each person that has an ARRL sponsored Corporate American Express Card to pay their own bill, and that no ARRL sponsored Corporate American Express Card bill for Officers, Directors or Vice Directors will be sent directly to or paid directly by ARRL. Regarding # 1, we still experience difficulty in getting expense reports filed promptly. In fact, one director waited until January 2007 to file expense accounts for the entire year of 2006. This does not allow us to accurately account for and track expenses throughout the year. I would suggest the committee consider a quarterly requirement. Of course, there may be situations that warrant consideration outside such a requirement and those can be dealt with on an individual basis, however there is no excuse for not filing any expense account for the entire year. Regarding # 2 we have a few situations where individuals have an ARRL sponsored American Express Card and have the bill is sent directly to ARRL. ARRL pays the bill and then it is a futile effort to get expense accounts filed from the individual to indicate what the expenses exactly are. One situation involved a Vice Director and there are a few others. This can NOT be tolerated. ARRL is liable to account for the money that is paid to American Express and without the proper expense accounts we have no way to prove what the money is for. I propose that the A&F committee, and recommend the board subsequently approve a policy that any eligible Officer, Director or Vice Director that is assigned an ARRL sponsored corporate American Express Card shall have the bill sent direct to their specified address and they are responsible for payment in accordance with the terms of the credit card agreement. Once you receive your bill, if you have not already filed your expense report, you will have 30 days in which to file your expense account and receive reimbursement, which is plenty of time to pay the bill. This is a standard practice today for just about every company that participates in the American Express Corporate Card program. I would also like the committee to review our policy regarding issuance of ARRL sponsored corporate American Express Cards. This is a benefit that is afforded to you as a board member which serves a good purpose, however it must be respected. I'm not recommending any change in our issuance policy, just recommending a review to ensure it meets our current needs. If you have any questions pertaining to these two matters, you may discuss them with me. 73 Joel W5ZN

Brian -- I love it. I spent the day putting my new tri-band beam together on the driveway. Some of the neighbors saw me working on it. I guess I forward this film clip to them just so they understand where their TVI complaints should be directed. ;) I guess the TVI won't start for a while though, halfway through the assembly I find HyGain-MFJ left out parts. Don't you hate it when that happens?? Those will probably take another 5 days to get here. Oh well, maybe NEXT weekend I'll be on the air...... 73, Rod At 08:24 PM 1/25/2007, Brian Mileshosky wrote: >You'd better be operating your Ham radios with licenses! > >http://www.lowfam.com/steve/BlackLeather.wmv > >73, >Brian, N5ZGT

CEO CEO staff is working on wrapping-up another successful and smooth-functioning Board meeting. A special thank you to Greg Kwasowski for driving the van; to Maty Weinberg for helping with the Board books; to Penny Harts for helping with the goodie table in the lobby; to Rick Lindquist for taking pictures at the hotel and to those who made hotel runs during the day on Friday. Special acknowledgement and thanks to Andy Shefrin for working with the Marriott technicians in making all presentation and computer equipment run like a charm. Regulatory Information Daily queries as to the effective date of 05-235 continue to be handled via email and telephone and remain very heavy. We learned on Friday that the publication is scheduled for Wednesday January 24 which would make the effective date Friday February 23. Most of Wednesday and Thursday were filled with meeting with various ARRL Board members and in doing a presentation on two Field Day proposals to the Boards P&S Committee. (Note: At Harold Kramers request, N1ND is spearheading Field Day once again in house for 2007). A Montana cell-phone bill has been introduced and the Section Manager is working with it as he has in the past (which has been successfully scuttled previously). Vermont also has had a bill introduced and the SM is on top of it. Also we worked with Director Morton on the proposed Wyoming bill that is pending. The Wyoming SM has reported that through another amateur (who is a judge in Wyoming) that language has been drafted that should make the bill palatable for amateur radio. The Portnoff antenna zoning case in Las Vegas is still on the radar screen and a hearing was scheduled during the week. Thanks to Fred Hopengarten for providing a copy of his PowerPoint on Commonly and Universally in terms of the PRB-1 ruling from 2000, as this is the issue that the Las Vegas council is using to try and prevent the tower in this case. Unfortunately Mr. Portnoff was turned down in his application. It appears this one is headed for court. Media & Public Relations 2006 Hello campaign: Received Presidential recognition letter commending Amateur Radio and centennial of voice. Requests are still coming in to maintain Hello brochure & website through 2007. The 2007 Swiss Army Knife for PIOs has been completed and gone out for duplication. 2007 EmComm campaign: In the first 3 weeks over 8000 of the new brochures have been requested and sent. Copies of the brochure and a letter were sent to every section manager. Website has been designed and is being created asap. Code change: 30 day blitz planned coinciding with publication of FCC change. Audio PSAs being created, template for letters to editor, release, email tag lines, simple poster, and other ideas in 30 day crash. Development Development staff are working to catch up on posting contributions received in January. So far Spectrum Defense contributions in January have reached $36,500, exceeding the target for the carryover from the fall campaign. ARRL has received a $75,000 IRA commitment for the Spectrum Defense Fund from a longtime donor from the Southeast Division. All 2006 contributions have been entered and acknowledgements prepared. Letters for donors who make pledge payments during the year have been prepared for mailing. Work continues on the details of the new Diamond terrace program. A brochure is in the final design stage. Copy has been prepared for the ARRL website, including a new donation form and FAQ page. Several contributions from Board members were received over the Annual Meeting weekend, including the first $10,000 commitment for a personalized granite bench. Development is finalizing details to generate a combination letter/membership card form that will give members information on both their membership and Diamond Club renewal dates. The new form with variable letter copy will be used by the Development Office and provide an opportunity to update messages to Diamond Club donors as needed. A card for Life Members will be generated that includes their Diamond Club renewal date. Production/Editorial The March issue of QST, including an 8-page insert for those upgrading to General and new licensees, will be released to the printer January 25. Rick Lindquist reports The ARRL Letter, Vol. 26, No. 03, distributed to 65,401 members on Jan 19. Rick prepared/edited news stories on the apparent Feb 23 effective date of the Morse code and other rule changes in WT Docket 05-235, Pres Bush's letter of support for the "Hello" campaign and Amateur Radio, a US House bill calling for a BPL study and report, ARISS school QSOs with youngsters in Illinois and California, ARES and SKYWARN activities relating to recent severe weather (report and update) and numerous news briefs and announcements. Rick also prepared and filed the "Happenings" column for March QST and took photos at the start of the Board of Directors meeting for later use. With voiceover help from Khrystyne Keane, Rick voiced, edited and produced ARRL Audio News for Jan 19. Lab Books Mike Gruber finished the RFI Bookhe finally saw the final sent to the printer! BPL Ed Hare reports that Main.net and Kaicom have both been issued FCC Certification for their BPL products. Main.net equipment is installed in Manassas, VA. The BPL system in Springfield, MA is just getting up and running. At this point, they are operating on only a short section of Roosevelt Ave and East St. No customers are connected. From the sound, data is being transmitted on the system, although Ed doesnt know how well it working at this point. The good news is that the system appears to be operating somewhat below the FCC emissions limits and is not using any Amateur spectrum in its operation. Ed reports that no BPL noise could be heard in the notches, even close to the overhead lines. The system is using Amperion equipment, with a Corinex-based, DS2 processor. It is too early to draw any firm conclusions, but this system is operating without major interference problems involving Amateur Radio at this time. It uses a technology similar to the one operating in Houston, TX, which Ed has previously reported to be operating without impacting the Amateur bands. At this point, Internet access appears to be less important to BPL than utility applications. Utilities want to use their own wires for video and voltage monitoring. They also want to do time-of-day metering and equipment control. This is apt to keep some utilities interested in BPL even if the economics or performance do not permit real competition with other broadband services. Another major application for BPL will be to use it within premises. For example, it would be a lot more economical to use BPL in a small hotel building, especially an older one, than to rewire the entire building. EMC Mike Gruber is working on setting up an EMC meeting for next Spring or Summer. Sales and Marketing Membership returns from the recruitment mailing to Technician licensees continue to exceed our expectations. With a projected 1.1% return for 660 members, we now have a 1.7% return with 1,057 members. 547 are first-time members. The latest membership mailing to lapsed-member General, Advanced and Extra class licensees dropped on Friday, and we saw the first returns only 24 hours later. Registration for Februarys Technician online course closed with a record 53 students. January saw 43 students. This participation is more than double our projections. We are excited about the introduction of the new membership card! Distribution to new and renewing members will begin this week. The Warehouse crew continued to work at peak capacity this past week. 1,310 packages of fulfillment orders and 720 membership premiums were shipped from our North Mountain Road facility. Special thanks to Frankie Perez for his assistance in dispatching several thousand supplemental copies of Jan and Feb QST. Now Shipping: The ARRL Emergency Communication Library v. 1.0 on CD-ROM; The ARRL DXCC List -- January 2007 Edition; Ham Universitynew Extra/CW Edition. Business Services We just completed the March 2007 issue of QST which contains a 6 page Z-Fold YAESU tearout as well as an extraordinary amount of advertising. We assisted Editorial and Graphics in the design of an 8-page Tearout called NOW New Opportunities for EVERY Ham! Making the most of your Amateur Radio experience. Work on the Repeater Directory, NCJ and QEX continues. An e-mail solicitation for specialty advertising in the Antenna Book is now in process.

This week, 127 pounds of cards were received from members. W1AW Thanks to Katie Breen, W1KRB and Dan Henderson, N1ND for their operating W1AW in the North America SSB QSO party. They made 563 QSOs, with 111 multipliers, on 80 through 15 meters, for an initial claimed score of 62,493. Joe updated the web code practice files and their archives. He also updated the W1AW Qualifying Run schedule on the web. He processed regular QSL card requests. Joe put together a 5-year Capital plan for W1AW (for major equipment purchases). He also had to swap out a failing power supply on the 80-meter broadcast equipment. Joe continues with the initial processing of the 2006 FMT entries. Scott worked on fast and slow code practice files for the middle part of the month of January. He also handled some evening phone sales calls in the daily 5 PM to 8 PM time slots. Field Organization/Public Service Team Filled-out Section Manager Election ballots from North Texas and Kentucky have begun to arrive at Headquarters. League members in those two sections have until February 16 to return their ballots. Leona Adams sent out nearly four dozen supply packages to Field Organization appointees, and she has been keeping the data base up to date with new appointee information and updates. ARRL Headquarters kept in touch with Section Leaders in states that were greatly affected by the ice storm. ARES members from Oklahoma to New England have been on alert or have been helping with communication needs during and after this winter storm. Steve Ewald and Mary Hobart joined the monthly teleconference sponsored by Citizen Corps for its affiliated organizations. The 2007 Homeland Security grants were discussed. Chuck Skolaut compiled and forwarded the monthly ARRL monitoring system report to the IARU Region 2 coordinator. More documentation was received and reviewed concerning FCC monitoring requests on 75 and 160 meters. This was forwarded to the FCC. We received a report that an Air Force base in Massachusetts is working with repeater owners in the area to resolve an interference issue. Official Observers are investigating several complaints about operations on 75 and 20 meters. Questions were also received and handled about the recent FCC rules changes on frequencies and the dropping of the Morse code requirement. Visits to Headquarters by members of the Board of Directors this past week provided the opportunity to discuss several matters in person. ARISS PR: Rosalie began working with the NASA PR folks who will write a feature article about SuitSat-2 for the NASA Web site and for all teachers associated with NASA. For the Dilworth School (CA) QSO, 250 students participated, garnering two newspaper stories and one Web newspaper story with an accompanying video clip. For ARRL Members: The SuitSat-2 team is working on the design of the power converter for the solar panels, the Internal Housekeeping Unit, the mount for the antenna, the transmitter and receiver, and how they will mount in a box on the top of the suits helmet. ARISS News Update: The next ARISS QSO is for a school that is part of the Winnebago Indian Reservation (Nebraska), where a ham is the teacher. She and area hams are teaching her students about propagation and solar flares, and doing hands-on activities with their classroom ham radio station. ARISS Effect on Students: Rosalie contacted the head of the Science Engineering Mathematics Aerospace Academy in southern Florida, whose affiliated schools (4 elementary, 1 middle, and 2 high schools) are all interested in ham radio and ARISS. International Aspects: The US ARISS Team is preparing a report on various aspects of SuitSat-2 for the Russian ARISS Teams management. Amateur Radio Education & Technology ProgramMark Spencer I authored and submitted an article to AMSAT Journal titles Why Cant I Hear AO-51. The responses and applications for the TI in response to the spot in QST started to come in as soon as the magazine hit the mail boxes. To date I have responded to 10 inquiries. Most are interested in the college credit offering. The construction of the Ohms Law boards is in progress, about 30% percent complete. The bid request for the ETP equipment grant purchase has been sent out to retailers for consideration.

[arrl-odv:15175] Notes From Board Discussion on No Code
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

To: ARRL Board and Management Team From: Harold Kramer Date: Jan 26, 2007 Subject: Board Comments Elimination of CW Testing Here are the notes from our Board Meeting discussion on Thursday January 18 regarding what actions we need to take once the Morse Code testing requirement is eliminated. These major themes emerged from our discussion. Welcome and Encourage New and Upgrade Amateurs: 1. The ARRL needs to encourage and welcome new and upgraded amateurs. 2. We also need to convince the entire amateur radio community to welcome these new licensees and upgrades. 3. We should not discourage or diminish CW activities in any way. Public Relations and Marketing: 1. Time is of the essence. This will not happen again. 2. We should focus on attracting new hams as well as upgraded licensees. 3. We should be aware that many new hams have different interests than our generation, particularly in EmComm and technical areas. 4. We need to expand our marketing, advertising and PR activities to let the world know about these changes. Mentoring and Clubs: 1. Clubs are an integral part of the process and we need to get then licensing and other materials 2. We should encourage clubs to run more licensing classes. 3. We need to expand our mentor program and each of us should become personally involved in more on-air and mentoring activities. Encourage HF Operating: 1. We should encourage and promote 10 meter activities. 2. We should upgrade, consolidate and revise our HF operating publications. 3. We need to encourage digital and other new modes of operation. 4. We should encourage new and upgraded operators to participate in our operating events and contests, particularly Field Day. These events themselves should have incentives for newcomers. Operations: 1. We need to focus on our customer service operations. We may need to expand our hours of operation and implement other customer service upgrades such as expanded hours and toll free numbers. Individual Comments: My comments are in brackets[ ]. Earl Smith VE6NM: 1. When the CW requirement was eliminated in Canada, there was an increase in ARES operators. 2. You have to encourage new ops and let them know about the benefits. Bill Edgar N3LLR: 1. We should approach 10-10 International to get people involved in 10 meters. Perhaps we can co-sponsor an operating event with them. [NN1N will handle this] 2. Each of us need to take one prospective amateur and mentor them. 3. We should welcome the new ops that result from this change. 4. We should compile our HF operating practices and information in one publication. [ We actually have done most of this with Steve Ford's book Getting Started in Ham Radio} Dick Isely W9GIG: 5. We should make the new ops feel welcome. 6. I believe that there are large groups of people who have never been licensed who will now become licensed. Many will be from technical professions. Jay Bellows K0QB: 1. We need to build on our organization strengths. 2. We need to get licensing and other amateur radio related material to clubs. 3. We need to connect better with local groups and clubs. 4. Field Day is a good opportunity for mentoring and guiding. We can encourage that by enacting some positive changes in GOTA Rules [ I believe that this is in progress] Henry Leggette WD4Q: 1. Each club should organize to encourage new people. There should be some incentives for joining a club. 2. We should welcome the new hams to the HF bands. 3. We should not discourage CW usage on HF bands simply because the exam requirement has been eliminated. 4. We should be aware that we may see a large influx of new hams with technical backgrounds. Jim WeavervK8JE 1. There are no ham radio leper colonies. We are all hams. 2. We need to have the proper attitude towards new hams, have our mentoring plan in place, encourage elmering, and act in a welcoming and friendly manner. 3. The Morse code is not going away; it is no longer a licensing requirement. Frank Fallon N2FF: 1. At meeting of Club Presidents that I recently attended, there were no negative comments about the no-code, only positive ones. 2. Incentive licensing is not a good system. It created a caste system that has resulted in amateur radio not being together as a group. 3. I would like to have PSA's available and for us to get the news out to general media, not just amateur radio publications [Allen Pitts has some already available] 4. We need information handed out by VEs about local groups, clubs and mentoring program. [The VE SCSE form now has ARRL information on it. We will also be supplying the VE teams with the March issue of QST with the 5 page tear-out] 5. The new hams need to get on the air and have a good/positive experience. 6. We need a welcoming attitude Bruce Frahm K0BJ: 1. We should encourage local club activities. These including organized on-air activities Tom Frenaye K1KI: 2. I have not heard any negative comments about the no-code licensing. 3. We should establish and publicize an 800# and email address for new and existing ops to answer questions. [Working on this] 4. We should also use W1AW for this purpose.[Same here] 5. We should try to connect with newcomers during Field Day. The event is for operating and socializing 6. We should encourage clubs to organize new licensing classes ASAP [Hiring the Education manager ASAP should move this along] Jim Fenstermaker K9JF: 1. If you can remember what is was like to get on the air when we were newly licensed. It was not always easy. This is our chance to welcome new members and make them into good hams 2. We need another welcome campaign and related on-air activities. 3. Teamwork across our organization is essential- how are we going to make sure that we are relevant. 4. We need to tell new hams that we are the ARRL and we looking out for your interests. We want to make you the best possible ham [The tear-out is the first step] Bob Vallio W6RGG: 1. We have to have open arms and show real some excitement about amateur radio. 2. We need to make people understand that ARRL and Amateur radio are intertwined 3. We should create an 800# outside of business hours and answer it quickly and responsibly [Working on it] 4. We need a consistent story about amateur radio and licensing. Dennis Bodson W4PWF: 1. We need to extend a hand of friendship to all coming in 2. I am concerned about the attitude of some operators. I say get over "I had to do it the hard way, you didn't" 3. We need to develop an new HF operations guide [A new improved version, is in the works] 4. We should encourage 10 Meter involvement. As suggested, we should work with 10-10 and create a joint operating event. Rev Morton WS7W: 1. We should get the new ops involved with local nets. 2. We should invite newcomers to our homes to operate HF stations 3. Newcomers should be introduce to ARES , Packet, and other newer modes 4. We should provide material, mentor information at VE sessions. 5. We should encourage and promote the enjoyment of HF operating.. 6. There should be a communications link between ARRL and Clubs 7. We need to create "how-to" program for mentoring new hams.[Education manager territory again- Norm currently has a lot of material posted on the web site about this] Frank Butler W4RH: 1. We should use the new FCC regulations as an opportunity to create new hams. 2. We need to further encourage 10 meter activity. Richard Norton N6AA: 1. I would like a review of experience in Canada by Earl VE6NM. Earl: Those who cared have mentored new hams and it is making a difference. RAC membership went up 3%. Public Service keeps people interested. 2. Most Technicians are interested for different reasons than early hams. For example, today, newcomers may not be as technical 3. Let's encourage activity on 10 meters- most nets will welcome them. Coy Day N5OK: 1. We need to do a good job at selling the ARRL 2. We need to do a better job selling our welcoming program 3. There are many folks who are engineers, professional and communications people and others who are inactive techs with licenses. We need to target them and get them back. Rod Stafford W6ROD: 1. We might have difficulty finding enough mentors. We should send to clubs a PowerPoint presentation that introduces new hams to HF. [On the web site already but we will update] 2. We need to publish a QST article as a primer on getting on HF. This should be given to all upgrades at VE sessions [The QST tear-out in March will address this. We hope to continue in this direction] 3. We should have a series of 10 meter events including a several month long contests to get people on the air 4. We need to run some ads in IEEE and other magazines and offer to write an article about the new amateur radio with the subtle message that you do not need code any more. Rick Roderick K5UR: 1. We need to getting existing hams into the HF arena 2. We should focus on non-hams. We should say, "Alright, we have changed. This is your window of opportunity." This should be part of an aggressive recruiting campaign 3. Let's aggressively build up the mentor program 4. We need to showcase our awards programs and operating achievements. 5. We have to Sell ARRL with the message that you need to join! 6. Just because there is no more CW requirement, we do not need to lower ourselves - but set our standards high -raise the bar. Kay Craigie N3KN: 1. We need to spread our HF activities across the bands, not just a 10m issue. 2. We need to get on the air ourselves - and to set a good example. 3. We are all hams regardless of license class or CW proficiency. 4. We should make the 8 page insert in QST a PDF downloadable on ODV.[Will do] Additional suggestions by Board Members submitted separately: 1. This will have little impact unless everyone is willing to extend himself or herself personally to meet and mentor all the new people. 2. Current resources are good and they must be made available to clubs and individuals who will use them. 3. Make the small "I'm an ARRL Member, Are You?" stickers available to clubs and hamfests. 4. Create a lapel sticker: "Welcome to HF, How Can I Help?"
