[arrl-odv:28338] Vendor Meeting Motion
by Fred Hopengarten 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Upon further reflection, I have modified my proposed motion to include Orlando (the ARRL National Convention) and HamVention. I'm open to adding Visalia, if we can't squeeze in enough meetings in Orlando and HamVention. I welcome thoughts on whether the meetings should be one vendor at a time, or a group meeting to solicit input. My own thought is that vendors will be more candid and forthcoming if meeting alone with a few Dirs or VDirs. The latest version of the motion is attached. Notes: . I should have remembered, and I am grateful to N2RJ and K3RF for calling to my attention, that "personal investigations" are legal once again, now that the Code of Conduct has been repealed. If not done already, I hope Dan Henderson or Carla Pereira will scrub the CoC from the ARRL web page. . Please note that this is an experiment. The motion does not call for the creation of a permanent committee, nor continuing meetings. If the benefit is weak, in comparison to costs (of all kinds), the idea can be abandoned. The latest version of the Vendor Meetings motion is attached. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Ooops. One typo, one clarification. [FH:] As of the end of the Thursday night meeting, I favor: . Drop the 300 baud limit, . Adopt 500 Hz for digital as the max bandwidth outside of the ACDS band, . Adopt 2.4 KHz within the ACDS band, . Limit ACDS stations to the ACDS band, . Require Listen Before Transmit, . Retain the Rolf, AB1PH, rule: By its language in the Rolph Order, RM-11699[1], the FCC concluded that Rolph provided no demonstration that either existing Amateur Radio or available dedicated public safety communications channels were incapable of dealing with emergency communications requirements. But then the Commission stated that "amateur stations must be capable of understanding the communications of other amateur stations." Rolph Order at para. 6. It concluded that "allow[ing] encryption to obscure the meaning of messages transmitted during emergency services operations and related training exercise would not improve or enhance the operation of amateur service station or otherwise be in the public interest."
