Tom Abernathy may know WAY more about this, but I was told years ago that many Walmart’s across the country allow overnight camping. This was apparently the philosophy of the founder, Sam Walton. An interesting link is here: https://www.elmonterv.com/guide/rv-rental-information/overnight-stay-inform… Not all stores allow overnight camping, but I’ll bet those that do would allow hams to operate through the night for Field Day as well as these contests. ’73 de JIM N2ZZ Director – Roanoke Division Representing ARRL members in the Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina sections ARRL – The National Association for Amateur Radio™ From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of David Norris Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2018 6:08 PM To: Richard J.

[arrl-odv:27204] An Invitation to the Oshkosh Airshow this July
by Kermit Carlson 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Hello ALL - I would like to invite all ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors to visit the Central Division booth at the Oshkosh Airventure Airshow in Oshkosh Wisconsin this July. We are in the processof planning the presence at an indoor booth and would like to have you consider joining the team that will represent the League and amateur radio at the Airshow. I will be organizing the booth staffing and already have two Board members who have expressed interest in helping with this project. Each year in July more than 10,000 aircraft converge in Central Wisconsinat the Experimental Aircraft Association's Airventure. This sevenday event attracts a crowd of more than 500,000 people during that weekto view and enjoy the roots of aviation. The cross-over between amateurradio operators and the pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and air show attendeeshas a strong correlation. The attendees to this event represent a largegathering of licensed and potential new amateur radio operators. If the national average of hams in the general population is considered to bea bottom line for an estimate of amateurs present then there is expect tobe at least 2,500 hams at EAA's Airventure 2018. The dates for Airventure this year is July 23rd -to- July 29th, the week immediately after the July Board meeting. The booth will be manned for the entire week. The purpose of representing the ARRL with a booth at EAA's Airventure is to attractnew amateurs to the hobby, and to encourage already licensed hamsto become ARRL members. Since the greater percentage of EAA members are licensed pilots who by nature are attracted to science and technology who represent a large pool of potential amateur radio operators. The ARRL Booth at the Airventure-2018 will also be able to draw upon the attraction to the public display of the EAA Amateur Radio Special Event station which is set-up annually at the Pioneer Airport airstrip and hosted by local amateur radio operators. Since the attendees to Air Venture come from all 50 states and dozens of countries it should beanticipated that the interested generated by both the W9ZL special eventstation and the ARRL booth will lead to interest by parties far beyondthe Oshkosh, Wisconsin local area. Travel and lodging will not be reimbursable but if you plan to visit Oshkosh, we would like to have your help at the Booth. Lodging is available at a very inexpensive rate at a local College, and RV camping at $35/night is available. Please contact me ( W9XA(a)ARRL.ORG) directly by email if you plan to attend. Information on Air Venture 2018 can be found at https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA

[arrl-odv:27188] Code of Conduct fallback
by jbellows＠skypoint.com 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

My apology for coming to the party so late but I sense there may not be a consensus among EC member on the suspended Code of Conduct at a time of high feelings within and beyond ARRL membership. I recognize I am a guest at this meeting, but feel some responsibility for having had a part in getting where we are now on this issue. Moreover, my firm belief is that ARRL cannot continue to kick the can down the street on this issue. In the event the EC cannot reach a consensus on the proposed CoC I am forwarding a Sample Code of Conduct recommended by the National Council of Non-Profit that I ran across. The attached sample lacks the specificity of the (in my opinion) well done draft CoC that the EC has been reviewing. While it addresses most of the issues of concern, it does so in more general, non-legal language. The fact it was generated by a leading organization of non-profits could show the membership that a Code of Conduct is a common and necessary part of the operation of a non-profit organization. Again, it is intended for consideration only if the EC cant reach consensus on the current proposal. 73, Jay, KØQB
