[arrl-odv:28968] Fwd: Lawsuit Opens to Other States/Communities in CA and How You Can Halt 5G Now
by Richard J. Norton 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

The following message is from the woman in my town that I call the anti-smart-electric-meter lady. As the message shows, her group is raising money for its quest to save us from 5G cellphone service. Remember that they have already been successful in Los Angeles by stopping installation of a first-responder network. They make noise, and our technically savvy politicians listen. I want to forward the e-mail to the League's RF Safety Committee, and have them comment on whether there is such a thing as "electrohypersensitive people," as discussed in the last reference. The ARRL's web-site does not appear to be up to date regarding the RF Safety Committee. At least putting *RF Safety Committee* into the search window brings up old membership. If this finds its way to someone who can get the question answered, please do so. Thanks. 73, Dick Norton, N6AA ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Liz, Peoples Initiative News <mandatoryussmartgridblock(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 11:49 AM Subject: Lawsuit Opens to Other States/Communities in CA and How You Can Halt 5G Now To: <richardjnorton(a)gmail.com> <http://s.rs6.net/t?e=642tG4sr4Fs&c=1&r=1> <http://s.rs6.net/t?e=642tG4sr4Fs&c=3&r=1> <http://s.rs6.net/t?e=642tG4sr4Fs&c=4&r=1> <http://s.rs6.net/t?e=642tG4sr4Fs&c=5&r=1> <https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Lawsuit-Opens-to-Other-States-Communiti…> [image: Black] <http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?m=1128337193175&a=1133507147528&e…> To share this email just copy and paste the below link https://conta.cc/2NICDv8 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016IMu61KNZQ0z0-UU_DVzLdJaAhk-QFnMq1kRtGaOpkCZ…> 1) Update on Lawsuit Fund Raising 2) Lawsuit Open to Other states 3) Lawsuit Opens to Other Communities in CA 3) How You Can At Least Temporarily Halt 5G Dear Precious People, First of all I want to thank from the bottom of my heart, each and every one of you who so generously contributed to our lawsuit. We would be absolutely nowhere without you!! I would also like to thank those of you who passed the link on...that is a big part of fund raising - making sure the link is passed on to your friends and associates, re-posted on FB and other social media platforms. I know some of you have expressed your desire to join our suit and I do apologize that I am sending this email out as opposed to calling you individually, just I got so inundated with calls and emails, it will take much longer for me to go through them and I can get this news to you much quicker by sending this email out. *HOW MUCH WE HAVE RAISED THUS FAR* Thus far we have managed to raise a whopping *$48,276!!* That's in only 1 month of fund raising! We have right now, $20,256 from the Go Fund Me Page and in mailed checks and direct donations on the website (that do not show up on Go Fund Me), we have raised $28,020! I am so incredibly grateful and so excited!! We are absolutely on our way!! *LAWSUIT OPENS TO OTHER STATES* Also I have fantastic news!! The lawsuit is now open to other states in addition to just CA! This lawsuit is going to be expensive, so we are welcoming other states into the suit which will require an in state attorney to partner with our NY attorney to do "pro hac vice" which is the Latin legal term for an out of state attorney working with a law firm that is licensed to practice law in the state in which the out of state attorney is bringing the suit. Please call or email me to discuss details if you are interested in joining. *OTHER COMMUNITIES/INDIVIDUALS WITHIN CA* We are also accepting a VERY limited number of people and/or communities within the state of CA. We really do need to raise more funds and some of you have stated you are able to do that. Please DO contact me as we may be able to name you in the suit and therefor possibly file injunctions in your area until the suit is adjudicated at which time we expect a win based on the research the law firm has completed, on what we will be suing under, which I will email out to you once I get permission from the attorney. I will still try and call you individually, but I have to sift through everything and I was so slammed with people wanting to join (yey! :) that my notes may not be perfect on this. Although our attorney told us we would be mot likely be filing this month, it looks more like another month or so. I look forward to sending it to you as soon as we have it! In the meantime, let's go for our next round of funding goal...$100,000! We are almost @ $50,000 and if you can donate again and/or pass the link on to those who would be interested, we would be so very grateful to you. We MUST raise these remaining funds and I KNOW we can do it!! Please click on the below link to help us get there!

Please consider helping us get to the next level of funding, the $100,000 mark. Please donate what you can and please do pass Go Fund Me the link or this entire email on! *HOW YOU CAN AT LEAST TEMPORARILY HALT 5G* We have had the incredibly good fortune of having a court rule in our favor regarding NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) and the roll out of 5G and small cell wireless facilities. Please click here for a sample letter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016IMu61KNZQ0z0-UU_DVzLdJaAhk-QFnMq1kRtGaOpkCZ…> you can send your town, city or county to at least temporally halt 5G until such time as we win our lawsuit! (You may notice I have posted it on one of our sites that is not the non profit through which we are bringing the suit, as we are still fixing the issues with that site but are almost there.) Please be sure and read our legal disclaimer at the top of the page in the link.

[arrl-odv:29040] EC Committee of the Whole “minutes” odv28991
by John Bellows 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

Director Stratton is correct that Board Committee of the Whole minutes have not been published in the past. Perhaps that is because all members of the Board ( Directors, Officers and when included by Directors vote, Vice Directors) are already aware of the Board CotW discussion and decision by virtue of having been present. Since the discussion is confidential, including the CotW discussion in public minutes would defeat the purpose of resolving into a CotW. The same rationale doesn’t appear to apply when the EC resolves into a Committee of the Whole. The EC is tasked with applying Board direction between Board Meetings. Neither the Articles nor ByLaws provide EC members with higher status or right to information the other members of the Board. All Board members need to have an equal right to information if they are to fulfill the duty to keep fully informed of League matters. While minutes of the EC Committee of the Whole discussion(s) may not be necessary, it seems to follow that Board members should receive s good faith summary of those discussions in order to be adequately informed. 73, Jay, K0QB Sent from my iPad

[arrl-odv:29000] Fwd: threat to 5.9 GHz spectrum used by HamWAN
by Michael Ritz 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

This, at first glance, seems to be a direct assault on our 5.9 GHz allocations. That said, I'm not aware of exactly what frequencies HamWAN uses, and how this will affect that emerging technology amateur radio program. Anybody know anything about this? 73; Mike W7VO > ---------- Original Message ---------- > From: Steve - WA7PTM <wa7ptm-2019(a)aberle.net> > To: Mike Ritz - W7VO <w7vo(a)comcast.net> > Cc: Monte Simpson - W7FF <wwasm(a)comcast.net> > Date: November 20, 2019 at 3:03 PM > Subject: threat to 5.9 GHz spectrum used by HamWAN > > Mike: > > Please pass this along to the spectrum defense folks at HQ: > https://www.fcc.gov/document/chairman-pais-remarks-new-59-ghz-band-proposal > > The use of this spectrum in Western Washington is significant, and our > EOC-to-EOC amateur radio data infrastructure in that band is growing > rapidly. > > Thanks, > Steve

Mike and Ria, we mentioned the band planning effort in the meeting with the Wireless Bureau. They are aware that work is underway and understood that it would be after the first of the year before anything was final from the Committee. They seemed satisfied with that status report and to timing. I've asked Rick Lindquist to revise the article and insert a reference to the Band Planning Committee work. 73Rick - K5UR -----Original Message----- From: Michael Ritz <w7vo(a)comcast.net> To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv(a)arrl.org> Sent: Tue, Nov 26, 2019 4:55 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:29026] Re: Article on FCC Visit I'm with Ria here, at least if what I'm reading is really accurate and complete. You will recall that it was decided by a 14:1 Board vote in July that we needed to move to put wide-band digital, and both wide-band and narrow-band ACDS all into the same sandbox to protect narrow-band digital, addressing concerns contained within RM-11831. Rick re-initiated the Band Planning committee specifically to look at these digital-band allocations, and was a fast reaction to ARFSI's "write your director" campaign that pained us all. That all seems to have been forgotten. As a team, the committee has put a lot of work into this allocation project, and continue to do so. The digital ham community, ARFSI, and proponents of RM-11831 are expecting results from us, as they should be. With the apparent omission of this important topic as a part of the ongoing FCC discussions I certainly hope the committee's hard work is not all in vain. 73; Mike W7VO On November 26, 2019 at 12:53 PM "rjairam(a)gmail.com" <rjairam(a)gmail.com> wrote: And absolutely nothing about what was discussed and passed 14-1 at the July meeting. Makes me think that the whole motion and vote was a giant sham and it seems as though the only thing we are getting out of this is the removal of the 300 baud limit with the band planning piece not even discussed with the FCC. In other words, back to square one with 16-239 and RM-11706. “As if it never even happened.” Ria N2RJ On Tue, Nov 26, 2019 at 1:28 PM Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv < arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> wrote: Heads up in case you get questions regarding the article just posted on our website about our visit to FCC. http://www.arrl.org/news/president-rick-roderick-k5ur-heads-arrl-group-on-f… 73 Rick - K5UR _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv

[arrl-odv:29022] ARRL contest survey
by Michel, Howard, WB2ITX (CEO) 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Dear Officers, Directors and Vice-Directors, As some of you may have heard or seen, HQ sent out a survey to recent Sweepstakes Participants. Some of you may be receiving complaints from CAC members about that survey. This survey was done at the request of the PSC, and was to be done in coordination with the CAC. While not an excuse, there appears to have been a complete breakdown in that process, with some people assuming communications and coordination that never happened. We can and must do better. I pledge to restore an environment of trust and respect, where staff and volunteers work together for the benefit of ARRL and ham radio. In that regards, feel free to disseminate this email to anyone concerned. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, 73, Howard, WB2ITX -- Howard E. Michel, WB2ITX Chief Executive Officer ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio® 225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111-1494 USA Telephone: +1 860-594-0404 email: hmichel(a)arrl.org

[arrl-odv:29021] Draft Agenda ARRL Annual Board Meeting
by Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

Dear Officers, Directors and Vice Directors of the ARRL: As we start to actively prepare for the January 2020 Board Meeting, it is time to start considering the Agenda. Attached is the Draft Agenda for January 2020. I will need to circulate the preliminary full Agenda on January 3, so please send me (and copy Dee Methe) any items you wish to have placed on the agenda. The full agenda is scheduled to be circulated no later than January 9. For your convenience, I have also attached the full agendas from the 2019 January and July meetings. I also remind you that if you have an item for amending the Articles of Association and/or By-Laws, in order for them to be passed with the simple 2/3s majority, those items must be circulated no later than 30-days before the January meeting, which is Wednesday, December 18. You may still bring items for amending the AA/BL after January 18, but their passage will require 12 affirmative votes, rather than 10. Thanks in advance and 73.
