If this being the case, what will it take to upgrade the list software? Thanks!

The server is running v2.1.9 and needs to be running v2.1.18-1 (or later if there’s another update). AOL, Yahoo, and several other large email providers made a change about a month ago (referred to as DMARC) that has caused significant problems with email lists. Basically the problem stems from the list email appearing to be sent from the individual. AOL (Yahoo/etc.) sees an email that claims to be sent from w3kd(a)aol.com, but knows that the email didn’t come from the AOL servers so it rejects it. The email list software (Mailman) sees this as a bounced email and now thinks w3kd(a)aol.com is a bad address and suspends it. Within the latest Mailman control panel is an option that shows the emails as sent by the list server on behalf of the individual. I dealt with this issue on several lists I run… Doug K4AC From: arrl-odv-bounces(a)reflector.arrl.org [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Chris Imlay Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2014 12:40 PM To: arrl-odv-request(a)reflector.arrl.org Subject: [arrl-odv:22821] Re: confirm 0bd85850610534a061222e3e0ec5c088e6b6221f Christopher D.

[arrl-odv:22824] Board meeting scheduling
by Kay Craigie 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Because Lisa will have additional responsibilities related to the National Convention, I've been asked to request that we set July 7 as the target date for Board meeting reports. That's a good bit earlier than usual, hence the heads-up now. Not only will it allow Lisa to get the meeting books prepared on time but also we will have time to study the reports before our own WRTC and/or National Convention duties kick in. If you are a liaison to a committee chaired by a non-Board volunteer, please pass this target date information to the chair as soon as possible so the chair can make plans accordingly. Regarding the Board meeting itself, because it looks like it may be a challenge to complete the work in the time originally envisioned, we will begin the morning sessions at 8:30 AM instead of 9 AM. That will yield an additional hour. The Board meeting room reservation will allow a session after dinner on Monday night. Years ago, evening Board meeting sessions were the norm, although that has not been the case for some years. It is an option, however, if it looks as though we will need the time to give due consideration to items you want to bring up and still finish at mid-day on Tuesday. Finally, I have a few suggestions that I hope you will receive in the respectful spirit in which they are offered. Any report that someone wants to have lifted from the Consent Agenda will, of course, be lifted. However, if it is possible to deal with some questions on the ODV before the Board meeting or in off-reflector discussion with the report author, maybe you would like to do that. Second, if you are going to introduce a motion, please give extra care to proofreading. When you find a motion in your pigeon-hole, please suggest any tweaks, fixes, friendly amendments, etc., to the maker of the motion so the text can be in the best possible shape before it's formally introduced. The less time we can devote to editing motions on the fly on the floor of the meeting, the more time we have for substantive debate, including any formal amendments you may want to propose. Thanks and 73 - Kay N3KN

[arrl-odv:22823] FCC terminates 902 MHz proceeding
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

The FCC has terminated an 8-year-old proceeding, WT Docket No. 06-49, dealing with the Multilateration Location and Monitoring Service (M-LMS) that is allocated parts of the 902-928 MHz band. While the ARRL is not mentioned in the Order terminating the proceeding, we were among the commenters who had opposed the adoption of new rules for this service so this outcome is as we had hoped.

[arrl-odv:22817] Update on Gift Agreement
by G Widin 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Some days ago, ODV received a document containing a naming opportunity associated with a substantial gift to ARRL. It was evident that most, if not all, Directors felt that a commercial name on the ARRL Lab would jeopardize the lab's reputation for neutrality. While naming is the principal concern, there are specific performances in the agreement as circulated that are also of concern. Accordingly, we are engaged in a dialog with the donor and his representatives to understand the donor's wishes and how they can be met, while retaining an unaltered reputation of independence of the Lab. Those discussions are ongoing, but there is nothing new to report. At this time, it is impossible to tell whether talks will result in an agreement acceptable, both to ARRL and to the donor. If mutually acceptable changes can be made, it will be announced here. Meanwhile, please maintain the *confidentiality* of this topic, 73, Greg, K0GW

[arrl-odv:22814] Re: CONFIDENTIAL Proposed Gift Agreement for Re-naming of ARRL Lab
by dick＠pobox.com 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

9 JUN 2014 - 2109 CDT I have been reading and thinking about the proposed gift agreement for renaming the ARRL lab. First of all, I am not opposed to selling or leasing the naming rights to various ARRL facilities in exchange for sufficiently large donations to the ARRL. However, I oppose the recipe developed for the $1,000.000 gift agreement with Paul Sergi, NO8D (DX Engineering) in return for naming rights to the ARRL Laboratory for the following reasons. 1. The basis for this type of donation solicitation (naming rights) is a new ARRL policy that I do not remember approving. I was aware of a naming rights list, but I don't believe it was ever proposed for formal ARRL board approval. 2. I object to having any other business name applied to ARRL facilities. ARRL is not large enough to absorb such naming. ARRL would be accused by some members and advertisers of selling out its good name and reputation. Most of these gifts are made using the donor's name in some manner. 3. As a general principle, the donation should be cash made in one lump sum. However, if a scheduled payment plan for income tax reasons is proposed by the donor, it should not be any longer than three years. The ARRL Board should enact a standing order covering these three issues before any naming rights gift agreement is approved. - Dick Isely, W9GIG

[arrl-odv:22810] Approval of minutes
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Directors: The procedure adopted for approval of Board meeting minutes is as follows: 1. The Secretary will circulate draft minutes to Board members as soon as possible after the meeting. 2. Once Board members have had the opportunity to review the draft and offer comment, a final draft will be circulated. 3. Ten days after distribution of the final draft, the Secretary will call for a vote by electronic mail to approve the minutes. 4. The minutes will be declared as approved upon the receipt of affirmative votes of eight or more directors within the ten days of the call for the vote. 5. The final draft minutes will continue to be made available to members following their circulation to Board members and prior to formal approval. The draft minutes were circulated to you more than 10 days ago. The only correction that has been made since then is with regard to paragraph numbering. Accordingly, it is now time to solicit your votes to approve the minutes. A copy is attached. It is the same as was distributed on May 27 except for the numbering correction . I note that the following directors already have either said they approve the minutes or that they looked OK: Isely, Norris, Weaver, Lisenco, Ahrens, Pace, Vallio, Rehman, and Norton. I don't need to hear from those directors again. Apologies to anyone I may have missed. 73, David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary

Net; QCWA; SFDXA Subject: Re: [FCG] Bad News - W1AW/4 All, Well, just heard from them... The damage around their house was pretty bad, but the house only suffered minor roof damage. Thank God! Jim checked on the other operators and all had made it home safely. His station is off the air, but Jim and Bonnie are fine and in good spirits from what I can tell... This is a much better picture that we had at 22:00Z... What we knew at that time had us all worried to death... 73, Rick K4TD -----Original Message----- - W1AW/4 All, The WX had been very uncooperative down here this week... Line after line of thunderstorms with high winds, heavy rain and lightning... The QRN was horrific sometimes... But today it went from bad to worse... One of our guys (KC4HW) was hosting a multi-OP W1AW/4 event at his home in lower Alabama. We were coordinating with them on band selection between the two stations to maximize coverage... They were supposed to take 20CW from me (operating from AB4B), but they called to say they had lost power... A bit later they called back to say they had had a direct hit from a tornado... Not much news from them except that everyone is safe and that the ham station was totally gone; everything scattered all over the place... I'm hoping to hear more soon. Please keep that family in your prayers. We were already playing this week shorthanded due to vacations and business travel; now one of the major stations in Alabama is just gone... 73, Rick K4TD _______________________________________________ FCG mailing list Send mail - FCG(a)kkn.net Change/edit subscription info - http://www.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/fcg FCG Web site - www.floridacontestgroup.org Facebook - http://tinyurl.com/4xw5jr7 _______________________________________________ FCG mailing list Send mail - FCG(a)kkn.net Change/edit subscription info - http://www.kkn.net/mailman/listinfo/fcg FCG Web site - www.floridacontestgroup.org Facebook - http://tinyurl.com/4xw5jr7
