I find my self in support of the resolution as agreed by the EC. If this e-mail message is deemed to be satisfactory in compliance with the Article 6 requirement for a "mail vote," then I vote yes on the resolution. If a true "mail vote" is necessary, then I will mail a ballot to whomever is delegated as the recipient thereof.

Hi All, This is from Steve Waterman, K4CJX. I have sent him a thank you note. 73, Henry - WD4Q ----- Original Message ----- From: "K4CJX" <k4cjx(a)comcast.net> To: <wd4q(a)arrl.org> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 8:07 AM Subject: FW: Comments to FCC concerning RM-11306 Henry, Please read, Steve, k4cjx -----Original Message----- From: Dave 'DoC' Willard [mailto:doc@mitre.org] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 07:31 To: K4CJX Subject: Re: Comments to FCC concerning RM-11306 Thanks Steve. I'm passing this thread around the local clubs and particularly among MITRE who support our PMBO. de DoC ----- Original Message ----- From: "K4CJX" <k4cjx(a)comcast.net> To: "'Dave 'DoC' Willard'" <doc(a)mitre.org>; "'Tom Frenaye'" <frenaye(a)pcnet.com> Cc: <w5zn(a)arrl.org> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 01:12 Subject: RE: Comments to FCC concerning RM-11306 Doc, On just about every major Amateur reflector, and on many WEB sites, there posts by Skip Teller, "Winlink wants your frequencies" or "Robots are coming to your Phone band" or more recently, "Winlink Robots are taking over your RTTY/CW bands" with false data to support false claims. It is a shame that such a tactic can influence so many, including those who make the rules. We will all pay a heavy price for this, while those who love bashing the ARRL, or anything that disturbs the status quo are dancing in the streets. We really already have witnessed the perception of those who make the rules by not being included in the new DHS EmComm div of the FCC. With this most recent actions, it just makes all the false data "right," and giving those who do such things more fuel for their fires, and misleads those who don't know differently. Of course, to those few Commissioners, who have an awareness of all the "controversy," this is just one step close toward BPL acceptance and implementation. And in her normal style, she is leading that charge. I wonder at what level in the FCC the ARRL discussed the "controversy"? After all, there were only a total of approximately 900 comments. How many Amateurs are their in the US? I got several emails from several Directors asking me "where were all those Winlink advocates during the initial comments period"? They are not aware that their Lead Staffer, and others, recommended we not mail bomb the FCC with comments at that time, but wait until the final Comments period. Did anyone there communicate this? nope! When you get right down to it, and from the point of view of any professional EmComm agency, knowing that from the 27 US PMBOs, over 95 percent of all Winlink HF activity in the US is contained within the Part 97.221 sub-bands, provides little assurance anything will ever work when another large scale emergency takes place. There is just not enough room, not even for normal daily operations. When the ARRL asked those in the Winlink Development Team to serve for hour after hour, on an ad-hoc HF Digital Committee, and an ad-hoc ARESCOM Committee, we complied. When they asked us to expand the network topology, and make it more reliable, we complied (July, 2004 ARRL BoD Minute 21). When they asked us to expand the EmComm component, to include thousands ARES Amateurs, and many government an civil agencies (Like you have done with the Commonwealth of MA), we complied. When they accepted the recommendations of the ARESCOM Committee, per MINUTE 26 in the January, 2005, BOD meeting, and asked us to allow them to manage the network, and educate their membership, we complied. When they asked us to put the source code in Escrow, we agreed, and through the ARESCOM, we made the offer without ever receiving the courtesy of a reply. While the ARRL BOD and staff watched Skip Teller run his game, and gather support with totally absurd "facts", they started feeling the results, and thereafter, we got no reasonable responses to our queries. So, we have moved on to other volunteer services where we are accepted, and where, as volunteers, we can make a contribution that will last. You are welcomed to join us there! The migration has started, and for once, I am not discouraging it. I cannot blame anyone for wanting to see results from their efforts. And, I cannot blame the ARRL for not fighting for what they really wanted. They always cave with controversy. Thank goodness there is no "controversy" toward fighting BPL in the Amateur community. What disturbs us most is that they to this day, they have not admitted backing away from their original commitment to their "national digital network." SMOKE! At their request, the ARRL held the lead with the Winlink 2000 system for emergency communications for several years, and caved from the pressure. What is sad, they KNOW it is false information they are hearing. At least, most do. They do less and less to allow the operation they asked us to build, much less support it, leaving us holding the bag. They are still doing nothing to encourage ARES to use this system. While they do nothing, DOD/DHS and others have recognized its value, and have fully embraced and deployed a complete mirror system specifically for their own use. One can only imagine the tragic consequences of learning the valuable lessons of Katrina, the Asian Tsunami, and other such disasters, large and small, only to eliminate the very methodology that contributed so much to the saving of lives. Any mass casualty event that follows without such a capability will be difficult to explain in the next Congressional Investigation. This makes me very sad since I hate to see it shrink or disappear from the Amateur service. I have been a ham since 1955, and Amateur radio is my first love. We really thought we were making a significant contribution to both Amateur radio and the radio art, but it is not happening. So we must make a paradigm shift to agencies where we are appreciated for what we are doing. The statement by Harry Truman, sent in a recent email from Jerry Reimer to someone regarding this same subject really hits the nail on the head. However this is nothing new. I can remember when Max Arnold, a former Delta Director, came to me while I was VC for Development at Vanderbilt University (LONG AGO) and asked if I would help him develop a plan for a fund-raising department for the ARRL. It took him over two, maybe three years, before the Board would even listen. Courage and vision got in the way, and it finally passed. "Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better." Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) Hope this helps, Steve, k4cjx -----Original Message----- From: Dave 'DoC' Willard [mailto:doc@mitre.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 14:32 To: Tom Frenaye Cc: w5zn(a)arrl.org Subject: Re: Comments to FCC concerning RM-11306 I understand but do not concur on that position Tom.

[arrl-odv:15411] Another Growing Widespread RFI Source?
by dick＠pobox.com 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

10 APR 2007 - 1615 CDT A local ham friend who works at Fermi National Accelerator Lab sent me this URL: http://my.inil.com/~torpor-skog/lightbulb.htm The topic discussed there is the broadband RFI that is generated by the HV chopper power supply in compact fluorescent light bulbs now being used to reduce the consumption of electricity. I found only one error in the discussion. Most of the CF bulbs on sale in this area do not contain mercury. I have a couple of them installed as a trial in my house. One is a ceiling light in the unfinished part of my basement about 16 feet from my radio console. The other is installed in the garage. Neither light is turned on for long periods of time and so far I have not yet noticed any RFI above what I see as band noise on the HF bands. However, if they become widely used, I would expect to hear at least a higher noise floor? 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Regulatory Information Contact was made with the New England Spectrum Management Council and the Northern Amateur Relay Council of California regarding the Pave Paws radar issue. A total of 106 repeaters in California and 15 repeaters in Massachusetts operating on the 70 cm band have been identified by the Air Force as causing harmful interference to these systems. We have requested as complete information as possible from the two coordinating groups (precise location, antenna heights and types, power levels, HAAT, frequencies, etc) so that the ARRL Lab can do calculations to determine actual potential interference and see if these might be means to mitigate the problem with some repeaters, possibly allowing them to remain on the air. The California data was received on Thursday and sent to the lab. As part of this inquiry we have found that there are potentially more 70 cm repeaters in the affected areas in California that the Air Force has not noted or targeted (in one known case) a second repeater on a different output frequency is physically housed in the same location as one of the repeaters on the list (and whose antenna is only 45 feet from the one targeted). There are also several repeaters on the California list that are not in the NARCC database (which would mean they are uncoordinated). A few queries continue to trickle in related to the ex parte petition error. A query was received from representatives of the Director of the Office of Polar Programs regarding activity from the US stations in Antarctica during the International Polar Year (2007-2008) and having stations from two to the US bases (South Pole and Palmer) active during the 2007 Field Day event. There continues to be numerous requests for Field Day information and materials. A special thank you goes to the outgoing Mail Room for once again handling requests for the full Field Day packets. And a special thank you is in order for Roseanne Lawrence in the Education Department for handling orders for display kits for information tables at Field Day sites. Production/Editorial The May/June issue of NCJ has been released to the printer. Rick Lindquist reports The ARRL Letter, Vol. 26, No. 14, distributed to 65,564 members on April 5 one day early because of the holiday weekend. Thats up by about 150 from the previous weeks circulation. Rick prepared/edited news items on the fifth civilian space traveler, Charles Simonyi, KE7KDP, who is accompanying the next ISS crew into space; the downside of 60-meter DXing, FCC enforcement, Titanic 95th anniversary special events, and several news briefs and announcements. Rick voiced, edited and produced ARRL Audio News for April 6 one day early. Sales and Marketing March product sales were $280,260; exceeding plan by $51,900. The overage is associated with the ongoing surge of license material sales following restructuring, and the earlier-than-predicted delivery of the 2007/2008 ARRL Repeater Directory (planned for April). The Business Services team supported substantial sales from publication dealers in March, just pushing past ARRL direct sales. At the end of this first quarter, product sales had exceeded plan by $147,000. The Customer Service Rewards Program achieved a milestone of 1,010 memberships this week, since beginning the program in mid-July 2006. During phone calls received for publication orders and membership renewals, customers are invited to extend their membership for multiple years or to join as a first-time member. A free book incentive is offered, such as the ARRL Periodicals CD-ROM or Repeater Directory. Mailing data for June QST will be pulled on Friday, April 13. The Customer Service team has already noticed a decrease in publication order delivery inquiries via phone, following the implementation of automated package tracking information. In addition to the usual order-confirmation email following an online order, members/customers receive a email message with package tracking detail following shipping. Thanks go to Jon Bloom and John Proctor for helping implement this improvement. The Spring/Summer publications catalog will go to press this week and should be available by the end of the month. The North Mountain Road warehouse crew shipped 621 packages for orders processed during the 4-day holiday week. In addition, there were 427 free book membership premiums shipped, and QST supplements for March and April issues.

She has also generated the new Field Organization Appointment Report and is in the process of getting the reports to the SMs via email. She has also been working with the two new SMs that began their new terms as of April 1st, Roberto Jimenez, KP4AC for the Puerto Rico section and Jim Brooks, KY4Z, they are all set with supplies, section news, email, etc. Chuck Skolaut compiled a summary of intruder reports from the three ITU regions for the upcoming IARU meeting. Intruder reports of Over The Horizon Radars being observed on 20 and 40 meters as well as a voice intruder on 7007 were received. Other problems included Spanish speaking stations not properly identifying on an Oakland repeater and unidentified jamming and obscene language used on 20 meters. A call was received from a member concerned about the hoax message supposedly sent on April 1st stating that amateur radio was becoming secondary to BPL Steve Ewald attended the Amateur Radio Session at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans on April 3 along with other ARRL Section and Field Leaders. Education Services With tremendous support from Rose-Anne Lawrence, Debra Johnson has been reviewing programs and responsibilities inherited from the former F&ES department as well as PR and education materials being distributed. A quick tour of the website reveals a massive amount of disconnected and outdated pages inherited by Ed Services. Contents that need to be refreshed are being targeted. We are getting acquainted with administrative issues related to support for on-line courses serviced by CT DLC. We are developing an organizational plan for coordination of the production of the Technician video course. Rose-Anne continues to support PR efforts by assembling and mailing exhibit kits and other PR materials and is getting more involved in developing instructor relationships through her phone contacts. Amateur Radio Education & Technology Program Logistic coordination continues for the Teachers Institute. Hotel reservations have been made and the participants have been tasked to explore travel arrangements. ARISS National television reported on the Australian ARISS QSO, last week, for the St. Michaels Primary School. Rosalie was asked to be a Subject Matter Expert by the NASA HQ Education Office, and worked on a review/report of ARISS for the NASA Education Portfolio Alignment Review. Web/Software Development Hugh Brower turned over our new credit-card processing software to Micah Murray for integration into the new membership application form, which Micah will continue to work on when he returns from vacation on 4/16. Meanwhile, Hugh is working on a stand-alone implementation of the credit-card system that we can plug into the various other places on the site where we collect credit-card submissions. Hugh is adding some Section Managers as users of the ARES database system so they can begin testing it. Jon Bloom continues Logbook work. This week, he successfully imported a snapshot of the Logbook database (all 180+ GB of it!) into the new server. The server software was also recompiled to run on the new server and database system. Testing of the recompiled software is ongoing, and everything looks to be on track to put the new server into operation by the end of April.
