Hello from Domodedovo, Linda and I will be heading to the airport in a few minutes for our flight to Dulles. It's been a remarkable experience over here, culminating with a live Webcast of the announcement of the results. It will be good to see everyone (except Frank and John, sorry to say) later in the week. 73, Dave R3/K1ZZ signing off

[arrl-odv:19157] N2FF will not be at the July Board Meeting...
by Frank Fallon 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

As some of you already know, I will not be at the July Board meeting. While visiting with my daughter and her family in Woodstock the family pet, a French bulldog, pulled her off the back porch and Kathleen broke two bones in her right foot. She had surgery here on LI a week later and now has two pins holding the ligaments in place (they will be removed eventually) and two screws holding the metatarsals in place. She also has a heavy cast up to the knee. Luckily she did not hit her head and had only only a few scrapes. She had surgery two weeks ago and is now on the mend but she is not really mobile at this point. Getting up and down stairs is a real chore and the heat and humidity has been bad lately. She spend most of her time in the air-conditioned bedroom in this old Victorian and I deliver her meals and other necessities. She has been doing a great deal of reading and talking on the cell phone. The bad news is that she has discovered that I can cook, load and turn on the dishwasher, and even shop. I fear this may be a life changing incident for me. I may never recover. So, have a great meeting without me. I am sure Joyce will do a great job sitting in my seat. Regards to all. 73 de Frank.....N2FF.......

Jim, There is no "members only" are, per se.

After a selection process that included reviewing almost 70 resumes and interviewing about 10 different candidates in person, an offer has been made and accepted for the open position of ARRL Controller. Diane Middleton has accepted our offer of employment and will begin on Tuesday, July 20th. A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Diane had been employed by the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation, a non-profit, quasi-state agency, for 20 years , the last 10 of which as their Controller. She has managed a staff similar in size and functions to that which she will be responsible for here at the ARRL. If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer them. 73, Barry J.

[arrl-odv:19151] Vice Director resignation
by Kay Craigie 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Yesterday, West Gulf Vice Director John Thomason WB5SYT sent me a message resigning his position. He said, "This will allow me to devote my energy to serve my family, employer and health." With regret I accepted the resignation and informed Director Woolweaver what had happened. I'm sure everyone wishes John all the best in his personal, professional, and Amateur Radio activities in the future. I have asked Staff to take John off the ODV distribution list but do not know when that will be accomplished. Travel safely, and see you soon. 73 - Kay N3KN

Tnx Bruce. The teams had a great sunrise opening to the US on 20 -- good runs into the west coast. After 22 hours there are about 15 teams with more than 3000 QSOs -- not bad for 100 watts, a low tribander and a couple of low inverted vees. Many teams are very close together in scoring -- it will be tough work for the judges starting in a few hours! You wouldn't believe the work done by about 170 volunteers, some of whom travelled for three or four days from Siberia just to get here, to set up the antennas, tents, etc. and then to stay on site to take care of the competitors and referees. Incredible ham spirit. 73, Dave K1ZZ in Domodedovo www.wrtc2010.ru ________________________________ From: Bruce Frahm [mailto:brucefrahmk0bj@gmail.com] Sent: Sat 7/10/2010 2:05 PM To: arrl-odv Cc: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:19144] Re: Hello from Russia Dobray ootra Dave, Pse bring back a good PowerPoint of the event, 3L of WRTC vodka, or both. 20 strange here with some strongish EU, some vy weak...
