Folks, My understanding is that Dave Sumner used to send the Committee of the Whole minutes for both the Board and the EC out by smail mail. MikeK1TWF Mike Raisbeck k1twf(a)arrl.net

Mike worked directly with Dan Henderson at HQ for a while and got some more updates. I found faults with their results so Mike and I worked at it some more and we think what we have now is correct. At the moment, we should not be addressing ACDS privileges for non-Region 2 US amateurs since that falls under areas involving international treaties. We don't think that is an issue for US hams who might be boaters outside of Region 2 since none of them would act as gateways, theoretically. We think this level of completeness is really for extra credit for this committee's charter but it helps to explain the incredible complexity of the spectrum allocation challenge. 73, Ned / AA7A _______________________________________________ arrl-bandplan mailing list arrl-bandplan(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-bandplan _______________________________________________ arrl-bandplan mailing list arrl-bandplan(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-bandplan _______________________________________________ arrl-bandplan mailing list arrl-bandplan(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-bandplan

[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.

Howard; I assume that Mickey Baker, N4MB will be added ASAP to ODV per the existing Standing Order, so please task IT to accomplish this post haste. Also, did the new VD for the SW Division ever get added to ODV? I never heard back from anybody that this actually occurred and he has yet to post anything here. That has me wondering. 73; Mike W7VO

[arrl-odv:28976] Fwd: RE: Fwd: Fwd: Lawsuit Opens to OtherStates/Communities in CA and How You Can Halt 5G Now
by Arthur I. Zygielbaum 13 Nov '19

The RF Safety Committee responded to the inquiery from Dick Norton about the California 5G lawsuit. Greg Lapin, N9GL, chair of the committee sent the following email. I thought it would be of interest to the ODV. 73, Art K0AIZ -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: RE: Fwd: [arrl-odv:28968] Fwd: Lawsuit Opens to OtherStates/Communities in CA and How You Can Halt 5G Now Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 12:11:59 -0600 From: Greg Lapin N9GL <n9gl(a)comcast.net> To: Arthur I. Zygielbaum <aiz(a)ctwsoft.com> CC: richardjnorton(a)gmail.com <richardjnorton(a)gmail.com> Dick, To answer your questions about Hyperelectrosensitivity (also known as EHS), there have been claims for a long time and a good bit of research has been done with people who claim to have EHS. The bulk of the research studies have found that people who claim to have EHS are unable to distinguish real electromagnetic transmissions from sham exposures. The World Health Organization held a large workshop on the topic about 15 years ago and concluded that “EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure.” There are always outlying studies and closer inspection generally shows that they were poorly performed. The email that you forwarded linked to what seems to be one such study, in which FMRI scans of EHS claimants appear to be vastly different from controls. Since FMRI indicates local blood flow to different areas of the brain that are assumed to be due to increased brain activity, the increases in the EHS study could easily be increased activity due to fear of the exposure. Interestingly, MRI transmits EMF into the subject in order to generate its images. I wonder if the EHS claimants were aware of that. Please don’t hesitate to pass other questions on to the RFSC. 73 Greg N9GL Sent from Mail <https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 *From: *Arthur I.

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.

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! Go Fund Me video by clinking here. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016IMu61KNZQ0z0-UU_DVzLdJaAhk-QFnMq1kRtGaOpkCZ…> If you'd like to just re-post the Go Fund Me page you can do so by copying this link... https://www.gofundme.com/f/y6ca8t-suing-fcc-for-protection-from-5g?utm_sour… <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016IMu61KNZQ0z0-UU_DVzLdJaAhk-QFnMq1kRtGaOpkCZ…> Thank you so much to those of you who have donated. 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.
