[arrl-odv:28146] Hamvention Parking Passes
by Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX 06 May '19

06 May '19

To: Officers, Directors, and Vice Directors attending the 2019 ARRL National Convention at Hamvention Dear Officers, Directors and Vice Directors: Please be reminded there is free parking at Hamvention, onsite, on a first come, first served basis. There are also many nearby remote lots served by free shuttles. Please see this link for details: https://hamvention.org/travel-parking/directions/. Those requiring ADA/Handicap parking should visit the Hamvention website for instructions. That said, I can acquire up to 6 exhibitor parking passes for car pools of four or more people. If you plan on driving and would like a pass, please send me the names of the four (or more) people in your car pool (including spouses or other guests.) I will let you determine amongst yourselves how you'd like to group up. Please reply to me by Wednesday, May 8 so that there is enough time for the pass to be mailed to you. *Please note, we cannot get more parking passes, as these are factored on the number of exhibitors in each building, and the limited number of parking spaces reserved for exhibitors. The passes, if lost, cannot be replaced. Respectfully, Carla Pereira, KC1HSX Assistant to Executive Office ARRL Newington, CT 06111 860-594-0242

I have been told that Monk Apollo is now SK. A huge loss to the DX community. I remember first working him, thinking it was Greece, then realizing after that I worked an extremely rare one. RIP and Thanks for the QSOs. 73 Ria, N2RJ

[arrl-odv:28145] Board Meet & Greet at Hamvention
by Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX 03 May '19

03 May '19

To: Officers, Directors, and Vice Directors attending the 2019 ARRL National Convention at Hamvention Those of you who have attended Hamvention before will know that we organize an area within ARRL's large exhibit space (Building 2) for ODV to meet-and-greet members and other attendees. ARRL staff will also direct attendees to Board members occupying the area, particularly if someone wants to engage in topics involving areas of the Board's responsibility or interest. Meet-and-greet is a friendly, networking space. There's also a nice "ARRL logo" backdrop in the area - suitable for snapping photos with members and friends. We'd like to invite you to respond to the following Doodle poll, to self-schedule yourselves to help meet-and-greet members and attendees in the exhibit area. This scheduling will also help us connect attendees with you, if anyone is looking for you (we'll keep a copy of the schedule in the meet-and-greet area). The schedule isn't intended to be rigid, but rather to help ensure the area designated for meet-and-greet is adequately covered by ODV. Here's the poll link: https://doodle.com/poll/iymu2ffnvpazamva Please complete the scheduling by Friday, May 10. Again, this scheduling is not cast-in-stone. Please contact me or Convention and Event Coordinator Eric Casey if you have any questions.

[arrl-odv:28144] cancelled W1AW May 13 CEO operating event
by Michel, Howard, WB2ITX (CEO) 03 May '19

03 May '19

Dear Officers, Directors and Vice Directors, The following announcement will be going out later today. Earlier this week an announcement was made that ARRL CEO Howard Michel, WB2ITX, was going to be on air at Maxim Memorial Station W1AW on Monday afternoon, May 13, with the intent of giving ARRL members a chance to chat with the CEO and get to know him better as a ham. However, an issue was raised about this being a potential violation of FCC rules, in particular, Section 97.113 which states that “A station is also not allowed to transmit communication in which the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest, including communications on behalf of an employer.” Given that the ARRL is Michel’s employer, and that there was an effort to publicize an event at which members of the organization could chat with the CEO, such an event could be perceived as a benefit to the organization. So out of an abundance of caution and to avoid any potential violation of FCC rules, or even an appearance of a violation, Michel has decided to suspend plans for the “Put Howard to Work” event that was scheduled for Monday, May 13. Michel stated “I’ve operated W1AW before and will continue to do so in the future. I hope to meet many of you on the air, but only as part of my regular ham radio activities and not as part of an ARRL-promoted event.” 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<mailto:hmichel@arrl.org>
