[arrl-odv:28707] Adding K6FG to ODV
by Henderson, Dan N1ND 17 Nov '19

17 Nov '19

In response to a phone call question from Director Norton and the post of Director Ritz... IT is in the process of setting up the k6fg(a)arrl.org<mailto:k6fg@arrl.org> email alias for Mr. Weiss. The person who would do that us still on vacation, but I have asked IT to expedite it and it has been promised by end of business today. I will add his regular email address to the ODV reflector this morning. Since he also needs the ARRL.org alias address we had been waiting to do the two together. This is different to adding Mr. Siddall, since he did not require the .org alias. Thanks and 73 Dan Henderson, N1ND Assistant Secretary - American Radio Relay League, Inc. Regulatory Information Manager ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio (r) 860-594-0236 dhenderson(a)arrl.org<mailto:dhenderson@arrl.org>

[arrl-odv:28886] Harassment Training
by Middleton, Diane, W2DLM (CFO) 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Dear ODV, A few weeks ago the Officers and Director's Insurance Policy and the Omission and Errors Liability Policy were renewed. In order to retain coverage on sexual harassment claims on the renewal, ARRL is now required to provide all directors and vice directors with harassment training. As our society's culture is changing, such training is not just a good idea but important for us as an organization to support. In order to comply with this new requirement, we are going to integrate the training into Director/Vice Director orientations that take place on the Wednesday before each January's Board Meeting. The training will be held after dinner on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the hotel. The training will be held by Human Resource Counsel from CBIA (Connecticut Business and Industry Association). Most of you received this training already in July 2018 and do not need to attend. However, I am requesting that our newer members of the board family (see below) who have not received this training from ARRL plan on attending Wednesday night's training. If you would, please confirm your attendance with Dee Methe no later than December 20, 2019 in order for us to have appropriate space configuration and materials ready. Thank you/73, Diane Middleton, W2DLM Chief Financial Officer ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio(r) 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 (860) 594-0225 Requested Attendees: Ria Jairam Fred Hopengarten Mike Ritz Bud Hippisley Robert Wareham Lee Cooper Robert Famiglio Mark Tharp

Anyone know of a way to identify actual new members, rather than a combination of new and renewed as this report returns? I have never been able to find this data, so after 16 years, decided to ask.. :) Mark, HDX [image: image.png]

[arrl-odv:28923] Fwd: [ARRL-IARU] overlap between amateur and ISM bands: an unexpected benefit
by rjairam＠gmail.com 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Something I think that at least deserves our consideration. Yes, it is from a non-US ham, but since we are considering increasing data rates on HF, why not also VHF/UHF? I would support at least looking into this. 73 Ria, N2RJ ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: M5AKA via Groups.Arrl.Org <m5aka=yahoo.co.uk(a)groups.arrl.org> Date: Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 9:25 AM Subject: Re: [ARRL-IARU] overlap between amateur and ISM bands: an unexpected benefit To: <ARRL-IARU(a)groups.arrl.org> Dave K1ZZ, in its 2013 petition RM-11708 the ARRL recognized the iniquity of the 1980 Symbol Rate Restriction for HF operation. Is ARRL also pushing FCC to scrap the 56 kilobaud symbol rate restriction and the 100 kHz bandwidth restriction in the 70cm band - 97.307 (f)(6) ? 73 Trevor M5AKA _._,_._,_
