Thanks Cliff for letting Lisa know. It was a rush to board the plane, we pulled away from the gate and then got caught in a ground stop for some emergency with an incoming flight. Fire rescue all around it at the end of the runway. Looks like it is going to be one of those days...

by Cliff Ahrens 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Here's a note from Bob NQ1R about Board seating at the Centennial Banquet. 73, Cliff K0CA From: Inderbitzen, Bob, NQ1R [mailto:rinderbitzen@arrl.org] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 4:49 PM To: Ahrens, Cliff, K0CA Subject: RE: Seating for Centennial Banquet Hi Cliff, There are no reserved seats/tables for the Board at the Banquet. Some Board members are traveling with big groups, friends, etc...so, everyone should drop by the Banquet Check-In counter (near the Registration counters) sometime on Thurs or Fri to commit to a table and get their table card. Please feel free to spread-the-word among your peers on the Board. I'm afraid there are so many last minute details that we've likely overlooked something...but I'm confident it's going to be a great convention. I'll look forward to seeing you... 73 Bob NQ1R _____ From: Ahrens, Cliff, K0CA Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 5:16 PM To: Inderbitzen, Bob, NQ1R Subject: Seating for Centennial Banquet Bob, do the board members have reserved seats for the Friday night Centennial banquet? Or do we need to select table assignments, per your "20 Things to Know." Sorry for the last minute questions! Cliff K0CA

[arrl-odv:23018] Instructions and Schedule for ODV members assisting with Speaker Introductions at the Convention
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hi again, A message from Dan Henderson 73, Harold --------------------------------- Dan Henderson, N1ND Regulatory Information Manager / ARRL Centennial Convention Program and Forum Chairman ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio 860-594-0236 dhenderson(a)arrl.org Dear ODV members: I am looking forward to seeing you all this week at the Centennial Convention and I hope you will be impressed with the outstanding three-days of training and forums being offered as part of this grand celebration. Please find attached a schedule for when we are asking each of you to help as an ARRL "Board Host" to introduce and thank speakers at specific forums. I have tried to honor any specific requests for times, to introduce a specific speaker or to work with a specific topic or time. I am sorry if I was not able to accommodate all requests, but there were several duplicate requests. All of the forum rooms are located on Level 6 of the Convention Center. When you reach the Level 6 landing, please come to the hallway on the west side of the building (to the right when facing the large Banquet Hall). You will find a Speaker Check-In kiosk located just outside of Forum Room 21 where you will find my team and me. Please report to the Check-In kiosk no later than 15 minutes before the start of the forum you are introducing. Please do not go to the forum rooms before checking in at the kiosk. Once you and your speaker have both checked-in, we will give you a small packet of information. In it will be a brief "canned" introduction (please feel free to ad-lib as you are comfortable), along with a "canned", brief thank you for when you present the speaker/s with their "thank you" certificate. Each of the forum rooms will be set up with a podium, laptop, projector and screen, and a wired microphone and cordless microphone connected to the room's sound system. The speaker can load their presentation directly into the laptop provided (which will have PowerPoint installed). If they wish to use their own laptop, they may do so. If they wish to use their Mac device, an interface connector is provided. We will have an A/V support technician from the convention center at the Speaker Check-in kiosk should a problem arise. The forum schedule is very tight with only 10 minutes between the end of one to the start of the next for the morning and afternoon sessions. Please help keep things on schedule by starting your introduction prompt at the top of the assigned hour - and by making sure the "thank yous" and certificates are completed on schedule. If a speaker has questioners wishing to continue their discussions, please help shepherd them into the hallway outside the forum rooms, where there is ample space for them to continue to engage. If you have any questions please let me know. On behalf of the ARRL Centennial Convention Planning Committee, I thank you for your assistance in helping with this key component of the convention. Finally, as always, I look forward to seeing each of you over the course of the show and Board meeting! 73 Dan Henderson, N1ND Regulatory Information Manager / ARRL Centennial Convention Program and Forum Chairman ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio 860-594-0236 dhenderson(a)arrl.org

[arrl-odv:23017] LoTW Policy motion for Board approval
by G Widin 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

All, The LoTW report (Document 24) contains as Appendix 1 the attached policy on LoTW which the study committee would like to be formally adopted by the Board, to clarify what ARRL intends concerning the level of support, and other issues. At this point, I'm not sure whether it is preferable for this to be introduced as a recommendation of the LoTW Study Committee, the A&F Committee (to which the LSC reports), or as a Director motion by myself. At any rate, we intend to bring this before the Board, and so I've excerpted it from the LSC report, so you may consider it. This version is identical to the one in the report, just more conveniently accessible. Please send any questions or comments my way, as they arise. Safe travel, all. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Hartford. 73, Greg, K0GW

[arrl-odv:23016] Convention Badges and Shirts
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

>From Bob: 73, Harold From: Inderbitzen, Bob, NQ1R Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 9:14 AM To: Kramer, Harold, WJ1B Cc: Weinberg, Maty, KB1EIB; Kustosik, Lisa, KA1UFZ Subject: for ODV: Convention Badges and Shirts Harold, please share this information with ODV: 1) We will staff a "Welcome Table" in the downtown Marriott hotel on Wednesday from 1 PM to 7 PM. Members of the Board checking into the hotel on Wed will be able to receive their registration materials from staff at that table. After Wed, all of the remaining registration materials will be re-located to the Convention Center. Registration picks-up there on Thursday morning, 8 AM. 2) The official team polo shirt is "gold" colored...the same shirts that were distributed to Board members who attended Dayton or any of the regional Centennial Events. We've identified those Board members who still need shirts...and these will be supplied with your convention badge at the hotel. 3) Below is a message sent to all convention registrants. It contains a lot of good information for Board members attending the convention, too. We're looking forward to welcoming the Board family to the ARRL National Centennial Convention this week! 73 Bob NQ1R ________________________________ From: ARRL National Centennial Convention [events(a)regonline.com] Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2014 14:47 To: Price, Brennan, N4QX Subject: Read this before you arrive: 20 Things You Should Know You are receiving this email because you registered for ARRL National Centennial Convention 2014. If you are having trouble viewing this email, try viewing it in a browser<https://classic.regonline.com/t/c.aspx?0=218809&2=244686180&8=3&9=jwgvYSbqj…>. [https://www.regonline.com/custImages/360000/364438/Hartford-Banner.gif] ARRL National Centennial Convention 2014 Dear Convention Registrant, The start of the ARRL National Centennial Convention<http://arrl2014.org/> is just a few days away! We are looking forward to welcoming you to Hartford, Connecticut--the birthplace of ARRL--for this very special homecoming. Here are a few helpful tips and suggestions we thought you should know before your visit: 1. What day should I arrive? 2-day registration includes the exhibit hall and hourly forums on Friday & Saturday, July 18-19, 2014. Registration opens at the Convention Center on Friday morning at 8 AM, and a ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:30 AM. The exhibit hall is open Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM. The Closing Ceremony and prize drawings will be held on Saturday at 4 PM. Additional 2-day registrations can be purchased online through Tuesday for $25, or on-site for $30. Youth 21 and younger must also register, but admission is FREE. 2. I pre-registered to attend an all-day Training Track and Lunch on Thursday. When should I arrive? Those guests with a 3-day registration to attend a Training Track and activities on Thursday can pick-up your advance registration materials on Thursday. Registration opens at the Convention Center on Thursday morning at 8 AM. Training Tracks begin at 8:30 AM (to 4:30 PM). Thursday's lunch is at 12:00 PM in the ARRL Centennial Ballroom (Convention Center, Level 6). Registration for all Thursday sessions and lunch is CLOSED. 3. I'm an exhibitor. Is there anything I should know before arriving? Exhibitors were already provided with Thursday move-in and setup instructions and schedule. Exhibitors with remaining questions should contact Debra Jahnke, K1DAJ, Exhibits Manager; email djahnke(a)arrl.org<mailto:djahnke@arrl.org> 4. How do I get to the Connecticut Convention Center and downtown Marriott Hotel? Driving directions are included at the bottom of this message. For travel instructions by plane, train, or bus, please visit http://ARRL2014.org<http://arrl2014.org/> and click on the Hotel & Travel tab. The Connecticut Convention Center is situated next to the downtown Marriott Hotel. The buildings are connected. The Connecticut Science Center is next door. The Science Center's "magic carpet" wavy roof is easy to spot as you're approaching the Hartford city skyline and convention center complex. 5. Where do I park? ARRL has negotiated a $10 per day maximum parking rate (normally $19) for the convention on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Connecticut Convention Center Garage and Lot. Payment is required each time you leave the garage. Expect to pay more for overnight parking. The convention center has plenty of onsite parking spaces including an 8 floor garage and outdoor spaces for oversized vehicles in the surface lot. There are also many other nearby garages and lots (see the Hotel & Travel tab at http://ARRL2014.org<http://arrl2014.org/>). The Connecticut Convention Center's parking is operated by LAZ Parking. The $10 per day max rate will be honored at the LAZ lots/garages at the convention center, Front Street, and Science Center. Overnight guests of the downtown Marriott Hotel will pay the hotel's published $19 max daily parking rate. 6. Can I get around Hartford without a car? Yes. Hartford operates a FREE downtown shuttle bus...the "dash." The shuttle departs every 15 minutes from the covered convention center motor lobby, and will operate on an extended schedule (until midnight!) for the ARRL National Centennial Convention. The "dash" shuttle connects the Convention Center with downtown hotels, restaurants, and the bus/train station. For complete information, visit http://www.cttransit.com/RoutesSchedules/dash_freeShuttle.asp. 7. Where (and when) do I get my registration badge and pre-ordered merchandise? Guests who completed their registration online should check-in at the Registration counters located on Level 3 of the Convention Center. Each registrant will receive a badge, lanyard, program<https://www.regonline.com/custImages/360000/364438/Centennial_Program_Guide…> and tote bag. If you pre-paid for a banquet or meal ticket, the information is printed on your badge. The Registration Check-In counters will be open Thursday 8 AM to 5 PM; Friday 8 AM to 5 PM; and Saturday beginning at 8 AM. If you pre-paid for official merchandise (engraved call sign badges, t-shirts and polo shirts), these will be given to you during registration check-in. Visit the ARRL store in the exhibit hall on Friday & Saturday to purchase additional commemorative merchandise...while supplies last. 8. Is there a complete schedule available? Yes. You can preview the complete program<https://www.regonline.com/custImages/360000/364438/Centennial_Program_Guide…> online (PDF). Plan your agenda now! 9. Important: Friday night Banquet and Table Pre-Selection To help avoid long lines entering the Friday night banquet, guests who have reserved banquet tickets should visit the Banquet counter in the registration area during the day on Thursday or Friday to select your table assignment. Table selections are made on an individual basis, only (you may not reserve table seating for anyone else). For example, if members of the Podunk Hollow Radio Club would all like to sit at the same table, each member must visit the Banquet counter to select the same table. Guests arriving at the banquet without a table assignment will be seated by the Banquet Floor Stewards. The banquet will be held in the ARRL Centennial Ballroom on the 6th floor of the Convention Center. Doors will open at 6:20 PM. All beverages (wine, beer, drinks and soda) are cash, only. Pre-ordered meals involving dietary restrictions (ordered online) will receive a meal card for their server. Sorry, the chef is unable to accommodate additional dietary requests. 10. Are there any tickets remaining for the other meals? No additional banquet and meal tickets are available at this time. Should we receive any cancellations-please visit the Banquet counter in the registration area on Thursday & Friday (first come, first served). 11. Where are there nearby restaurants? On Friday and Saturday, concession stands will be located in the back of the exhibit hall with food and drinks. During the day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a small café and coffee kiosk may be located on the esplanade level of the convention center. Here are some other recommendations: * Marriott Hotel (adjacent to the Convention Center) - Starbucks ($ Lobby Level); Vivo ($$$ Italian); Crush ($$$$ American, and contemporary bar). * Connecticut Science Center (next door) - Subway® ($ sandwiches), accessible without entering the Science Center. * Front Street Complex (movie cinema and restaurant complex directly across the street from the convention center) - Arch Street Tavern ($$); Ted's Montana Grill ($$); Front Street Bistro ($$); The Capital Grille ($$$$). For more nearby restaurants, visit the convention center Information Desk in the Lobby Level. And, don't forget to use the FREE downtown "dash" shuttle to get around! 12. How do I take a tour of ARRL Headquarters and W1AW? ARRL will have coach buses to shuttle guests to nearby Newington for tours of ARRL Headquarters and W1AW, the Hiram P. Maxim Memorial Station on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (limited morning schedule). There is very limited parking at ARRL Headquaters, so taking your car to HQ is discouraged. A bus schedule is printed in the convention program<https://www.regonline.com/custImages/360000/364438/Centennial_Program_Guide…>. Buses will arrive in front of the Columbus Blvd. entrance doors to the Convention Center's Lobby Level (this is opposite the covered motor lobby entrance where the downtown Hartford "dash" shuttle picks-up. Don't get on the "dash" to go to ARRL!). Guests should gather 10 minutes before your bus reservation at the large "Meet Here" sign in the Lower Lobby (on Sunday morning, the bus will leave from the Marriott Hotel, next door, as the Convention Center will be CLOSED). You'll be greeted by an ARRL Bus Captain with further instructions. Guests with reservations will be seated on the buses, first. Your convention program<https://www.regonline.com/custImages/360000/364438/Centennial_Program_Guide…> includes a complete bus schedule, including times for all departures and returns, and a map and instructions for the self-guided tour at ARRL Headquarters. A food truck will offer a limited menu of food and drink on the ARRL HQ grounds. Don't forget your camera! ARRL HQ and W1AW will close at 5 PM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; and at 1:30 PM on Sunday. 13. Can I get on-the-air from W1AW? Many guests to ARRL HQ tell us that W1AW is the highlight of their tour. Operating time is first come, first served. Operating times will need to be reserved in advance at the front desk in the lobby of the main Administrative Building. Guest operating from W1AW will use the special call sign W100AW. If you'd like to make a QSO with W100AW while you are at the convention or visiting ARRL HQ, operators will be listening on 147.555 MHz FM (simplex). 14. How will I be entered in the two Door Prize Drawings? All paid ARRL National Centennial Convention registrants will receive one prize drawing ticket at the Registration and Check-In counter. Our convention staff will help you place your ticket in the prize drum. The drawings will be held on Saturday at 4 PM during the closing ceremony in the ARRL Centennial Ballroom (Level 6). There will be two prize drawings: a $5,000 Grand Prize voucher, redeemable for products sold by R&L Electronics, www.randl.com<http://www.randl.com/>. And, a $2,500 Second Prize voucher, redeemable for products sold by FlexRadio Systems, www.flex-radio.com<http://www.flex-radio.com/>. You do not need to present at the drawing to win. 15. Should I bring my children and other family members? YES! Older children and young adults will enjoy the youth presentations and activities<http://arrl2014.org/#youth> organized on Friday and Saturday. This is a great opportunity to engage young radio amateurs, and prospective hams, in the Amateur Radio Service. There's something for everyone: radio electronics (science, technology, engineering and math), radiosport, public service, volunteerism, international goodwill, friendship and fun. Please note: young children should not be left unaccompanied by a parent or guardian at any time! No childcare services are available. All attendees, including youth, must register. On-site 2-day registration for youth 21 years of age and younger is FREE. 16. Can I take an Amateur Radio License Examination during the convention? Yes. ARRL VEC sponsored Amateur Radio License examinations for all levels will be offered during the convention at the Hartford Marriott Downtown (attached to convention center). Exam sessions will be conducted in the Capital Room on Friday and Saturday at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam session to ensure your spot. A photo ID and a copy of your current license (if applicable) are required. Convention admission (convention registration) is not required to test. For more information visit www.arrl.org/exam<http://www.arrl.org/exam>, email ExpoExams(a)arrl.org<mailto:ExpoExams@arrl.org> or call the ARRL VEC office at 860-594-0300. 17. What will the weather be like? While the long-range forecast looks good (highs in the 80s; lows in the 60s), please visit these websites for the latest weather information: NBC Connecticut, http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather/ WFSB Hartford, Connecticut, http://www.wfsb.com/weather <http://www.wfsb.com/weather> 18. What else should I remember to bring? * print, and bring with you, a copy of your online registration receipt. You can print a duplicate receipt by visiting this link: View Your Existing Registration <https://www.regonline.com/register/login.aspx?eventID=1248082&MethodId=0&Ev…> * You'll meet so many friends...old and new...that you'll want to be sure you have some way to exchange contact information. Bring QSL cards (think "eyeball" QSL), business cards, and/or contact cards or labels. * camera * handheld radio / HT * smartphone and cell phone charger (don't forget to share your contact information with other members of your travel party) * attire for the Friday night Banquet (we recommend suit or jacket & tie for men; dress or suit for women) * pen & paper or notebook/pad * summer attire (short sleeves, shorts, light colored pants), but the air-conditioning in the convention center can feel very cool. * umbrella and/or rain coat (in case you're walking to nearby hotels and restaurants) * PRINT THIS MESSAGE and read it before you arrive! 1. Is it too late to share a photo? No. It's not too late to share a photo of YOU and YOUR FIRST ham radio station with us. Or a favorite "old" operating photo of you. We'd like to feature some of these photos during the convention. Please follow these instructions to share a photo with us: * Please send only 1 photo. The photo must include you! * Please send only JPG file types. * Name the image file FIRSTNAME-LASTNAME-CURRENT CALLSIGN-YearTaken.JPG. For example Hiram-Maxim-W1AW-1920.JPG * Email 1 photo to EXPO(a)arrl.org<mailto:EXPO@arrl.org> * Subject Line: My Photo * Please do not include anything else with your photo submission. 1. What if I need additional assistance? Guests requiring additional assistance for any reason should visit the Help and Information counter in the registration area (Level 3), across from the exhibit hall entrance.
