[arrl-odv:24882] CEOSC November Report to the Board of Directors
by Northwestern Division Director - Jim K7CEX 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Good Morning: Please see the attached required report from the CEOSC. Please forgive my lateness, but the last two weeks have been a bit consuming on many fronts. We are getting close; the process is not one that can be rushed but I think I see the light at the other end of the tunnel. (hopefully it's not a train headed this direction). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any member of the committee. See you all in Hartford 73 and good Hamming Jim Pace, K7CEX ARRL the National Association for Amateur Radio Northwestern Division Director

Congress.gov shows 117 cosponsors now. The latest additions are Congressman Vela (TX-34), Congresswoman Moore (WI-4), and (ta da!) Congressman Walden (OR-2). Although it's apparently not the done thing for committee and subcommittee chairs to cosponsor bills, Greg Walden has done it anyhow. Directors Woolweaver, Williams, and Pace -- will you please issue bulletins to members in the relevant districts asking them to phone or e-mail their thanks to these members of Congress? 73, Kay N3KN

[arrl-odv:24878] Contest Certificate Confusion
by Marty Woll 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hi, Dave. Last week I received a certificate in the mail for last year's 10m Contest. The certificate was made out to Barry N6VOH. I dismissed it as a random envelope-stuffing error and took the wallpaper to Barry when I saw him on Saturday. Then I saw traffic on the SCCC reflector indicating the same thing had happened to others. Most unusual was that, in all cases, the mailing label had the callsign of the certificate winner appended to someone else's name and address. For example, my envelope was addressed to "Marty Woll N6VOH, 21301 Candice Place, Chatsworth CA 91311". It sure appears there is a systemic problem here. Everyone involved is a League member, and the member database seems to be intact. Would you please have the staff look into what happened, how widespread the problem is and whether a whole new batch of certificates will have to be mailed? 73, Marty, N6VI
