Correction: my calculated date for comments is Feb. 21. Replies should be Mar. 23. From: "david(a)davidsiddall-law.com" <david(a)davidsiddall-law.com> Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at 4:15 PM To: ODV <arrl-odv(a)arrl.org> Cc: exec-com <exec-com(a)arrl.org> Subject: 3.4 GHz Comment Deadlines Set ODV- I thought it might be helpful to convey this to the full ODV. Tomorrow’s Federal Register will include the 3.4 GHz item. This will make the date for initial comments FEB. 21 with reply comments due Mar. 23. (I receive 24 advance notice of FCC documents being published in the Federal Register; the 5.8 GHz rulemaking is not in tomorrow’s Federal Register.) Per discussion Friday at the Board meeting and my written report, I intend to speed things up. By tomorrow evening I should have suggestions to send / make available to those who have contacted me. I also will put suggestions at a “semi-private” website (available to anyone with the link) and send the link to ODV so that you may share with your constituents. Finally, I am working with Rick Lindquist on a short piece for arrl.org (which is where the ARRL Letter items come from too). Let me know if any questions. 73, Dave David R.

[arrl-odv:29432] Staff Resignation
by Shelley, Barry, N1VXY (CEO) 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Good afternoon ODV: Having only been in the position a day and a half, it is unfortunate that my first official duty is to inform the Board that today ARRL Communications Manager David Isgur, N1RSN had tendered his resignation, effective April 3, 2020. His resignation is the result of his having to deal with family matters. I appreciate his willingness to stay on until April to help with the transition, and having known David since he began at ARRL, I know we will be losing a strong contributor to the current directions the organization has chosen to take. This also adds another open position to, what I understand to be, an ever increasing list of positions unfilled at headquarters. Coupled with impending retirements through the remainder of the year, the organization faces a significant challenge to recruit, hire and train a new group of employees in critical positions. We will begin reviewing the job description and prepare a plan for filling this important job for the ARRL. 73, Barry, N1VXY

[arrl-odv:29430] Message on behalf of Greg Widin
by Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

________________________________________________________________________________ In the process of publishing the report of the HF Bandplanning Committee, I apparently chose the latest PDF of the graphical presentation, rather than the latest PPT file, which had not yet been converted to PDF. Thus, the file sent omitted our 30m suggestion, along with improved explanatory and graphical presentations in the newer file. The correct, updated PDF is attached. No suggested allocations are changed in this new file, although the 30m suggestions are now included. Text in the graphical presentation includes bullet points identifying the committee’s suggested changes from current allocations. I have also had a few suggested changes in the text report from Mr. Siddall, to improve readability, answer questions and reduce possible confusion. These resulted only in a few minor alterations to that text. These updated versions replace both the graphic and text files sent in early January, and will be the only ones to be placed among the publicly accessible Board reports from the January 2020 meeting. 73, Greg Widin, K0GW 2019 HF BP Committee chair
