[arrl-odv:26659] Amateur Radio Parity Act FAQ
by Mike Lisenco N2YBB 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Good Morning ODV- Attached please find an FAQ dealing with the Amateur Radio Parity Act. This document, which was promised at the July Board meeting, explains in detail what the Act is and does. The FAQ, written by ARRL General Counsel Imlay W3KD, sets the record straight and debunks the misinformation that is appearing in social media generated by “self-proclaimed experts,” many of whom have no stake in the matter and have no understanding of what is entailed in obtaining a consensus which allows all parties to claim victory and none to claim a loss. Please direct all who have questions to the FAQ. I will email the online link to the document as soon as I have it. 73 de Mike N2YBB - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mike Lisenco, N2YBB Director, Hudson Division Chairman, ad hoc Legislative Advocacy Committee ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio™ 917-865-3538 n2ybb(a)arrl.org

Thanks for the corrections Greg. I'm looking forward to working with the LoTW committee and the PSC on this. I offered the motion because I felt that the LoTW response did not sufficiently address the concerns expressed in my memo from January. I was expecting more and the e-mails you forwarded to me then seemed like preliminary responses. Then there was nothing reported after the LoTW meeting in January so I assumed it was still under study. As I noted at the Board meeting, the question of confirmations is not just how LoTW handles them, it is why we handle confirmations differently in different programs. Confirmations should be driven by how we want to set the rules (that is a program decision[Radiosport Dept, and PSC], not an IT decision) and be clearly communicated to members. The IT "stuff" is easy when the specifications are defined... :-) Thanks for keeping an open mind. -- Tom >___________________________________________________________________ >e-mail chronology.Â Dates are 2017. > >Jan 14 9:15 PM--Frenaye to Widin--Message attached to Frenaye #2 >Jan 15 7:14 AM--Widin to Frenaye, CC: Logbook Study Committee--Reply >Jan 15 2:14 PM--Bernstein to Widin and Frenaye, CC: Logbook Study Committee--Discussion >Jan 16 8:54 AM--Widin to Frenaye--Copy of response from Keane > >Jun 30 11:54 AM--Frenaye to Widin--Never heard back in January >Jun 30 2:23 PM--Widin to Frenaye--Reply and summary of January conclusions > >Jul 26 11:34 AM--Widin to Frenaye--Responses did occur in January >[other January copies re-sent to Frenaye] >Jul 29 4:15 PM--Frenaye to Widin--Help doc'n on LoTW too brief >Jul 29 5:52 PM--Widin to Frenaye--Please correct no-response allegation in Frenaye #2. ===== e-mail: frenaye(a)pcnet.com Tom Frenaye, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
