by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 22 Mar '07

Sorry for the duplication to officers and directors, but there is a need to bring the vice directors into the loop. Chris is in the process, right this minute, of filing the attached erratum to the ex parte notice. Here is an explanation I have drafted for use in responding to complaints and inquiries. I hope you find it useful. Dave K1ZZ Thanks for your message. Here is some background on the subject you raised. In July 2002 the ARRL Board of Directors adopted the following policy: "At the next practical opportunity the ARRL shall petition the FCC to revise Part 97 to regulate subbands by signal bandwidth instead of by mode." The Board's objective was to update rules that were written long before the development of the current generation of digital modes so that digital emissions can be appropriately regulated in the future, while impacting traditional modes as little as possible. Turning that statement of principle into a detailed petition proved to be no easy task. The Board received input from an ad hoc committee as well as staff, and twice solicited input directly from the ARRL membership. Hundreds of comments were received each time and helped inform the Board's discussions. Finally, at its July 2005 meeting the Board concluded its review of a draft petition and authorized its filing, following final review by the Executive Committee. The resulting petition was filed on November 14, 2005 and was designated RM-11306 by the FCC, after which additional comments were filed by individuals directly with the FCC. Once the FCC had dealt with two outstanding proceedings, WT Dockets 04-140 and 05-235, we realized that the bandwidth petition was the next major Amateur Radio item in their hopper. On reviewing the RM-11306 petition, the comments, and the rules changes adopted in Dockets 04-140 and 05-235 it was apparent that some of the proposals contained in the petition had been affected by the changes adopted in the other two proceedings. It was also apparent that some aspects of the petition remained controversial. After reviewing the situation at its January 2007 meeting, the ARRL Board authorized General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD to determine what changes to the petition had to be made to align it with the new FCC rules, as well as which aspects of the petition were not controversial and could reasonably be expected to be included in an FCC Notice of Proposed Rule Making. Chris did so, and a meeting was held with FCC staff on February 13. As are all such meetings, this was made a matter of public record by the filing of a notice with the FCC Secretary that immediately became part of the online record in RM-11306. The FCC staff was provided with a shortened list, or subset, of proposed rule changes from that contained in RM-11306. The list is included with the notice of the meeting. Because the proposals affecting the bands above 28 MHz had not aroused much controversy, they were retained in the shortened list. Regulation by bandwidth rather than by mode of emission remains controversial below 28 MHz because of perceived potential impact on established operating patterns, so these proposals were removed from the list with one narrow exception. The exception is necessary because, as discussed on page 11 of the RM-11306 petition, under the existing rules there is presently no effective bandwidth limit on HF digital operations. Digital emissions using multiple carriers, such as OFDM, can be designed for any bandwidth while staying within the existing rules. So, the subset of proposed rule changes given to the FCC on February 13 includes a bandwidth limit of 3 kHz on RTTY and data emissions below 28 MHz. It is important to understand that this does not increase the allowed bandwidth for RTTY and data emissions; it actually represents a new limitation that accommodates existing practice but prevents future monopolization of large segments of our narrow MF/HF bands by a single digital station. Also, the limit would not apply to phone emissions. Some confusion has resulted from an item that, through oversight, was not deleted when the list of proposed rule changes was shortened. Because RM-11306 had proposed that bandwidths in most of the band segments now used for CW and RTTY be limited to 200 Hz and 500 Hz respectively, the existing 500-Hz bandwidth limit that applies to certain automatically controlled RTTY/data stations was redundant and could be dropped. However, because the subset of proposed rule changes does not substitute regulation by bandwidth for regulation by mode of emission, the 500-Hz limit needs to be retained. General Counsel Imlay has filed an erratum with a corrected list of proposed rule changes that makes it clear there should be no change to the existing Section 97.221. We regret the error. Some amateurs have observed that the subset of proposed rule changes provides less protection to CW, RTTY and other narrowband modes than was afforded by the ARRL's proposals in RM-11306. This is true. However, it is not true that less protection is afforded than is the case with the existing rules. In fact, protection against interference from wide digital modes would be increased, not decreased, by adoption even of the subset. The ARRL Board, having studied the situation literally for years, continues to support the principles of regulation by bandwidth that are contained in the original RM-11306 petition. Regulation by bandwidth provides a better regulatory framework, not only for the introduction of future digital emissions but for the protection of traditional narrowband modes as well. By providing the FCC with a subset of the modifications proposed in RM-11306 the ARRL has offered an alternative that, it is hoped, will make it easier for the FCC to move at least part of the way in that direction.

[arrl-odv:15309] Operational Update March 2007
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

We're on a roll...that's for sure. Even though you may have read most of this in IN-NEWS (thanks Lisa), here's a quick update on what is happening. This has been a very busy couple of weeks for all of us here at HQ. Actually, to quote, Mary, K1MMH, we have seen a "confluence of events" that has escalated the overall interest in amateur radio nationally. These events include elimination of the CW examination requirement and the heightened interest in Emergency and Public Service Communications. I would like to thank all of you for your extra efforts during this busy time. All of us Officers, The Board, and the Amateur Radio community appreciate your efforts. So what is happening? The Sales and Marketing Department is still busy selling licensing publications. However, because of the "a rising tide lifts all boats" effect, Bob tells me that we are selling many other ARRL publications as well. We have added some member service enhancements to our Publications ordering system. Thanks to the efforts of Steve Capodicasa, John Proctor, Jon Bloom, Amy Hurtado and others, we are now sending most customers an email with a Federal Express tracking number after they have placed their order so that they can track the shipment. In the near future, we will be offering an improved menu of shipping choices as well. Thanks, team - a job well done. Other members of the Web/Siebel integration team, including, Hugh, Micah, Amy, John Proctor and Barry are working on improving our web based credit card processing. The new web membership pages are being tested and should be up and running in a few weeks. As most of you know, we activated our new 24 hour answering service last week. Around the Clock Telemessaging Service now answers our main lines, but not our direct lines, after we close. Thanks to Jackie and Bob for coordinating the process and thanks to Greg for his technical assistance. We are receiving about 20 - 25 inquiries a day from this service. Most of these are membership and publication ordering questions. So far, members and prospective members like this service. We have also made extra efforts to follow up on all the messages that we receive. Due to popular demand, we will be printing twenty thousand additional Band Charts http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/Hambands_color.pdf for our members. We will make these available through normal distribution channels including Directors, SMs, hamfests and conventions. Thanks to Dave Pingree and Sue Fagan for their outstanding design work. What can I say about VEC, but thanks to Maria, Perry and crew for keeping up with a very heavy workload. As Maria has said, they are "busy, busy, busy." http://www.arrl.org/?artid=7300 Maria also tells me that the number of hams who want to be VE's is also going up. She has also seen a rise in new Technician licensees and Extra Class as well as the expected upgrades to General. On the publications side, QST will feature a special 8-page Field Day insert in the June issue. Joel Kleinman is leading this effort. This insert will be full of Field Day tips, tricks, and techniques and a little whimsy! Based on positive comments we have received, our Field Day Bug seems to have created quite a buzz (ouch) with our members. Also on the publications side, during the next few months we will be introducting these new books: Low Power Communications, The Antenna Book -21st Edition, The DXCC Handbook, The General Q &A, and The General Class License Manual based on the new Question Pool. Steve, Shelly, Sue, Maty and the publication group have been busy! In the MVP Department, Sharon and Bill report that DXCC and Outgoing QSL Bureau activity is up. Is this the rising tide again? It may be due to contest season but, according to NN1N, some of the activity is due to the two new DXCC entities that we added last summer. Logbook of the World activity is up and we are trying to keep up with the high demand for user support. Norm also reports that, based on his survey and anecdotal evidence carried back by our intrepid traveling staffers, Hamfest attendance across the country is also up MVP is still in the process of hiring the new EmComm Manager. We have received over 25 applications and Dave P, Kay Craigie and I are reviewing them. We hope to have the new position in place by May. Mary reports that she is selling "a ton of bricks" since we began promoting The Diamond Terrace on the web site and in QST. Diamond Club memberships are also up 35%. That's my brief update. Let me know if you have any questions. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 Telephone: 860 594 0220 email: hkramer(a)arrl.org web: www.arrl.org/ <http://www.arrl.org/>

Andy, that is not correct. I met with the Red Cross Office of the General Counsel in Washington and with some Disaster Services management personnel, and expressed our concerns about the consent form. The consent form was indeed modified to delete specific references to credit checks and mode of living checks. However, the consent form continues to authorize, and in fact says that the Red Cross WILL PROCURE "consumer reports" and "investigative consumer reports." These terms have Federal and administrative statutory and regulatory definitions. The definitions include credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. So on the one hand, the Red Cross has stated that it will not conduct these checks, and then required that those who volunteer for Red Cross work (including ARES volunteers and other Amateur Radio operators even if they are not registered Red Cross volunteers) for more than 7 days submit to the background check and sign the consent form that says that the Red Cross WILL do credit and mode of living checks. They will not agree to exempt amateur radio operators and they will not agree to modify the consent form. This information is current as of March 20, 2007. The required background check policy kicks in March 31. 73, Chris W3KD -----Original Message----- From: andy(a)andyoppel.com To: arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org Sent: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:09 PM Subject: [arrl-odv:15304] ARC Background Checks It looks like the American Red Cross has resolved the issues that most people had with their background check policy.

Andy, I don't believe that the issues are resolved as of this time. The wording you specify sounds like a release issued by the Red Cross Interim CEO and the National Chair of Volunteers on February 6th. As of yesterday, not much has changed with the Red Cross National Headquarters position regarding background checks since the ARRL position on Red Cross Background checks was released on our website on March 9th. That position statement link is: http://www.arrl.org/?artid=7288 If one is going to sign up on the Red Cross's investigation company, www.mybackgroundcheck.com , they need to read v-e-r-y carefully what they are being asked to grant permission for. If the applicant is granting permission for an 'investigative consumer report', they are in fact granting permission for a mode of living check and a financial check to be conducted. As a board member of my local Red Cross chapter, I participated in one of our local chapter's board meeting last night. One important fact that came out of that meeting is that the local chapters are being put under significant pressure to get their volunteers to comply with this background check before March 31, 2007. Please understand that the ARRL isn't telling volunteers what to do about volunteering for the Red Cross, but merely advising our members to read v-e-r-y carefully and to be totally informed before making up their minds about the background checks. The ARRL Adhoc Background Investigation Committee has a meeting set to discuss recent events. You may wish to standby until a little bit later for more information. - Bill N3LLR From: Andy Oppel [mailto:andy@andyoppel.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 11:10 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:15304] ARC Background Checks It looks like the American Red Cross has resolved the issues that most people had with their background check policy.

Regulatory Information The up-to-date online copy of Part 97 synchronized with the version in the Federal Register was finished, pending a couple of verifications from the FCC where the Federal Register version appears to be inaccurate. After discussing these discrepancies with the FCC we are having to wait for the OET to get back to Bill Cross with the correct status of one part as well as waiting Cross to finalize some changes that should have been made with the elimination of the code testing requirement. We were contacted by individuals from North Carolina who are working on an opening they have with a state legislator willing to introduce a PRB-1 statute into the legislature. After consulting with Chris Imlay, a draft resolution almost identical to the current Oregon statute was prepared and sent to the party and NC Section Manager Tim Slay. The Texas legislature is continuing its work on several bills, including Homeland Security bill that would authorize state employees who are also licenses amateurs up to 10 days leave a year to participate in disaster relief as well as authorizing vehicles operated by volunteer relief workers, such as RACES, to be designated as emergency vehicles in a disaster. Texas continues to work on several cell phone /wireless communications devices bills. The excise tax exemption bill in the Washington state legislature is still awaiting action by the House. Language for an amateur radio exemption of that states cell phone bill was received, reviewed and given an OK by Counsel. The bill is scheduled for a hearing in the Washington State House on March 20. The PRB-1 bill in Maryland was not successful. An Iowa bill dealing with marking of towers and tower markings was defeated. The bill as written actually applied to no towers whatsoever. According to Counsel: The class of antenna structures that would be subject to this Bill is a null set; it would apply to antennas that have to be reported to FAA (i.e. those over 200 feet and those which are less than 200 feet but within the glide slope of an airport) but which are NOT required to have painting and lighting by FCC. Since FCC merely incorporates the FAA rules on painting and lighting, and applies those rules to those antennas over 200 feet or within the formula for the glide slope of an airport or heliport, there are NO antennas that would be subject to FAA reporting requirements but exempt from FCC painting and lighting specifications. The bill, therefore, applies to no antennas at all. In the past several weeks about a dozen constitutions have been reviewed from clubs seeking ARRL affiliation. Also the 2007 Field Day announcement for the May QST was finalized and sent to Production. Finally the routine international operating information queries and query requests of new band info remain about normal. Development Development will welcome Margie Bourgoin as the new Development Associate on Monday March 26. Margie will be training with former Associate Debra Johnson this week and will be traveling to Dayton in May to participate in the annual Donor Reception and to work the ARRL EXPO at Hamvention. Arrangements for the donor reception are nearing completion. A big thank you to Maryann MacDonald who has assumed extra responsibilities over the past three weeks. Maryann continues to be a critical member of the Development team and deserves sincere thanks for her energy and commitment. A big thank you, Maryann! The Education and Technology campaign will go to the printer on Thursday, March 22. A bill has been entered in Congress to expand and extend the 2006 Pension Protection Act that contains special provisions for IRA contributions. The new bill proposes a rollback in the age qualification from 70-1/2 to 59-1/2, and an expansion of organizations to which donors may designate their contributions. The proposed legislation holds the annual contribution maximum to $100,000. Production/Editorial The May issue of QST is to be released to the printer March 22. Rick Lindquist reports The ARRL Letter, Vol. 26, No. 11, distributed to 65,006 members on Mar 16. Rick prepared/edited news items on Conference Preparatory Meeting 2007, Field Day 2007 preparations, two ARISS school contacts, ham radio shutdown in Iraq, change in how FCC posts Amateur Radio enforcement news and several news briefs and announcements. Rick also prepared the "Happenings" column for May QST. Rick voiced, edited and produced ARRL Audio News for Mar 16. Sales and Marketing Membership figures by mid-March have already exceeded February by 200 members. In just the first couple of weeks following our mailing to 20,000 Technicians with a complimentary QST, the effort has yielded 209 membersand mostly returning members. February product sales were $240,316; exceeding plan by $17,828. April QST was mailed on schedule, March 6-13. Our new foreign and Canadian mail service, Bleuchip International, picked up copies on March 8 and mailed on March 12. The after-hours telephone answering service began taking calls for ARRL on Tuesday evening, March 13. In the first six days, close to 100 messages were taken. Most of these were membership and publication related. Our planning may expand this service to include phone calls to VEC and other high traffic lines. Many nice comments have been received from members about this years ARRL Field Day logo. T-shirts and pins are now available for ordering at HYPERLINK "http://www.arrl.org/fieldday" www.arrl.org/fieldday. Weve also expanded the Field Day product line to include a water bottle and handy outdoor kit (including a granola bar and insect repellant). We collaborated on the cover design for the upcoming 21st edition ARRL Antenna Book. Following some planning and the combined programming efforts of Jon Bloom and John Proctor, changes are underway for the ARRL online store. Beginning this week, most customers (ARRL members and customers with call signs) now receive package ship date and tracking details by email for orders shipped via Federal Express ground and other FedEx express service options. Soon, the online store will support real-time shipping quotes for customers selecting express shipment methods, such as second day or overnight options. We anticipate that these changes will reduce customer inquiries following an online order, and improve the overall web-ordering experience. The warehouse crew processed 698 packages for orders this week. In addition, there were 870 free book membership premiums mailed, and one March QST mailing supplement. ARRL exhibit planning continues for a handful of events including: AES Superfest (Milwaukee), Dayton Hamvention, Ham Radio 2007 Friedrichshafen, and the ARRL National Convention (Huntsville). Congratulations to Warehouse Clerk Steve Coffey, KB1NRP, (No Returned Packages), who upgraded to General Class.

Several glitches in the data produced for the SS CW contest were found and fixed causing a myriad of corrections to the online results column. Luckily, these changes were able to be incorporated into the QST column which is still in the pre-publication phases. Similar data errors were discovered and corrected in the SS Phone data. I sent the column author, Kelly Taylor, VE4XT, the revised data to incorporate into his column. Other issues: Data import problems with the electronic files for the RTTY Round Up and January VHF contests have prevented me from delivering the results data to the column authors. Working on ironing this out now with the log checker, Ken Wolff, K1EA, for both contests.

This week, 110 pounds of cards were received from members. W1AW Joe processed four Code Proficiency certificates and five endorsements. He updated the web code practice files and their archives. He also gave a demonstration of various digital modes to a group of Boy Scouts and their troop leaders. Scott worked on fast and slow code practice files for the latter part of the month of March. He also assisted the DXCC department with the editing of some DXCC applications. Field Organization/Public Service Team As a follow-up to last weeks report (in addition to the one SM election in New Hampshire), several sections have one valid nominee. These nominees have been declared elected for their new terms beginning July 1. The re-elected incumbents include Jim Cross, WI3N (MDC); Mel Parkes, NM7P (UT); Charles McConnell, W6DPD (SJV); Bob Beaudet, W1YRC (RI); and Dick Flanagan, K7VC (NV). John Dyer, AE5B (West Texas), is returning as Section Manager after taking one term off. Leona Adams reports several new Official Observer appointments have been made among sixteen new Field Appointments that were added to the roster this week. Steve Ewald also notes that several Section Leaders are announcing simulated emergency exercises and SKYWARN training opportunities in their vicinities in preparation for the late winter and upcoming springtime severe storm season. A radio amateur from Washington State has been approved to join the ARRL Monitoring System/Intruder Watch. Chuck Skolaut received documentation from an Arkansas OO about a case on 75 meters. Brochures were provided to the Wisconsin Official Observer Coordinator who plans to attend the upcoming AES Superfest and offer information about the Amateur Auxiliary. ARISS PR: Rosalie provided information about ARISS to the Jet Propulsion Lab (CA) whose information officer distributes space-related news items to the general public and teachers. For ARRL Members: An ARRL member in Virginia received praise from an ARISS team member who said: ARISS remains a real-time, real-world event that obviously piques kids interest. During a QSO this week, I watched the (ham) control operatorhe was great, a natural with the kids, and helped build on their obvious excitement! ARISS Effect on Students: A Wisconsin teacher whose ham radio was in the classroom, tuned to the ISS frequency for last weeks QSO. His students were excited to hear Astronaut Suni Williams, KD5PLB, answering the ARISS schools questions. One answer about the over 17,000 mph movement of the ISS really got the kids. The teacher said: The class made a collective Ohhhhh sound. My students asked me to fill out an ARISS application! I took the opportunity, next, to use the QSO lessons for math/geography problems. International Aspects: From a Canadian ARISS MentorWhile my coworkers were in a Boeing 737 doing maintenance, I patched into the cabin an ARISS QSO, and distributed a list of students questions. Aviation is a field with a lot of "wow factor, but as we listened to Suni's signal I looked across the cabin. Most workers were smiling; some shared hushed comments among themselves. An avionics guy looked out the window towards the sky, looked at me, smiled and nodded before sitting back for the next question. As Suni said her goodbye, my coworkers complimented ham radio and said, We need to talk about this some more. Amateur Radio Education & Technology ProgramMark Spencer There are currently 42 teachers signed up for the teachers institutes from 24 states. Interested teachers need to apply soon to capture the final available slots. I participated in a survey of the International Society for Technology in Education draft education standards document. One more of the numerous standards documents competing for the education establishments attention. I have been getting a healthy number of requests for more information on the Space in the Classroom that hit the stands in recent weeks indicating the theme hit some sort of cord of interest. Web/Software Development Micah Murrays new membership application Web system was released for internal HQ testing. Hugh Brower continues to work on implementation of Web credit-card processing via the Authorize.net gateway system. Jon Bloom finished the first phase of integrating Web processes with the on-line FedEx rate quote system by producing a test page available within HQ for querying the FedEx system for rates. An ad hoc group from marketing, ISD and WSDD met to discuss how best to present premium shipping options in the Web store checkout process, and development of the necessary business rules and supporting information is ongoing. Thanks to some outstanding detective work to figure out how our Starship and Great Plains software systems manage e-mail addresses, by John Proctor in ISD assisted by Steve Capodicasa in the warehouse and by Amy Hurtado in Customer Service, the new system that pushes Web-order e-mail addresses to our shipping system and thence to FedEx is operational. Most people who order from the on-line store will now receive e-mail notification when their order ships.
