[arrl-odv:27437] Request for approval of the Minutes of the July 2018 Second ARRL Board of Directors Meeting
by Henderson, Dan N1ND 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Pursuant to Standing Order 11-2.18 (below) and at the direction of the Secretary, I ask for the voting members of the Board of Directors to indicate their preference on the minutes of the 2018 Second ARRL Board of Directors meeting (attached). One note: It came to light that the addition (by friendly amendment) of the phrase "of Ventura County, CA" added to the recipient of the 2018 ARRL Microwave Development Award (Minute 30) changed the intended recipient of the award from the AREDN Project Team to one of the smaller groups that utilizes the technology. The Programs and Services intention with the recommendation was to honor the AREDN Project Team. With the permission of the President, and the consent of the motion sponsor and second (Mr. Norton and Mr. Blocksome), Minute 30 has been changed to clarify the intended recipient of the honor. If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to address them. Thanks and 73 Dan Henderson, N1ND Assistant Secretary - American Radio Relay League, Inc. Regulatory Information Manager ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio 860-594-0236 dhenderson(a)arrl.org<mailto:dhenderson@arrl.org> 11-2.18) Effective with the minutes of the 2016 Second Meeting of the Board of Directors the procedure for the approval of Board meeting minutes will be 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. Three business 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 three business days of the call for the vote. 5. The final minutes will be made available to members following formal approval.

Hello ALL - Marketing of Boefeng UV-5R V2+ radios outside of their authorization earns Amcrest an FCC Citation and order. Seems that these radios operate even in the VHF aviation portion of the spectrum.... well outside the scope of the limits of their equipment authorization. It is nice to see some enforcement action ! 73, Kermit W9XA Amcrest Citation and Order | | | | | | | | | | | Amcrest Citation and Order Amcrest marketed the UV-5R V2+ Part 90 transceiver outside the scope of its Equipment Authorization | | |
