Hi all: As we close the year,I'd like to ask for those who have not made a monetary donation to the League thisyear to please do so. As volunteers, we already contribute our time and effort,but it’s also important for our development efforts to be able to say that allBoard members have made a monetary donation. Oftentimes when seeking donations,especially from major donors, one of the first questions asked is whether allBoard members have given. I've made my annualdonation. I am asking you to please do the same. To make a donation, click onthe link below: https://www.arrl.org/arrl-donation-form Please help us achieve100% ARRL Board participation. Take a few minutes this weekend and help set anexample. Let's all donate something! Thanks. 73 Rick - K5UR

[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:29437] CD of 2019 ARRL Periodicals on DVD
by Fred Hopengarten 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Colleagues: Today I received "Amateur Radio Contesting for Beginners" by K1DG, and a CD of ARRL 2019 periodicals - on DVD. I am somewhat grateful. Query: Is distribution by DVD the modern way to distribute periodicals? Wouldn't it be better, and cheaper (?) to distribute on a USB stick? No laptop, Kindle, iPad, or mobile phone in my household can read a DVD. To which committee is my query best addressed? Fred Hopengarten, Esq.

Or, perhaps they are listed in another place. I don't find the ARISS report, HF Band planning report, Legal Structure review report, or Legislative Advocacy committee report available to members. They are all behind the ODV firewall, but not listed like all the others. Mark, HDX http://www.arrl.org/committee-reports

Very sad to hear about Dale. I worked him a number of times from VQ9QM on 8 bands, 160 through 12 meters, back in the day.

Dale Strieter, W4QM, SK Past ARRL Southeastern Division Director Dale Strieter, W4QM (ex-W4DQS), of Cocoa Beach, died on January 6. An ARRL Life Member, he was 92 and a founding member of the Maxim Society. Strieter was ARRL Southeastern Division Director from 1970 until 1973. During World War II, he served as US Maritime Service radio officer in the Pacific. After the war, he received a bachelor’s in electrical engineering from Michigan State. He got his amateur radio license in 1947. Strieter later earned an MSee from Michigan State, and then worked as an audio engineer. In 1958, Strieter moved to Cocoa Beach to work for General Electric, a NASA, and he served as the guidance engineer on the Mercury and Gemini manned spaceflight missions. Strieter was a prolific DXpeditioner. After 20 years with GE, he returned to sea in 1979 as a radio officer in the Merchant Marines on a ship generally anchored at Chagos. As VQ9QM, Strieter logged more than 200,000 contacts from nearby Diego Garcia, between 1986 and 2001. He retired in 2002.— Thanks to Tom Tenney, W8OJM, and Don Karvonen, K8MFO ========== Rick Lindquist, WW1ME ARRL – the National Association for Amateur Radio News Editor/Contributing Editor NCJ Managing Editor _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
