[arrl-odv:29343] Report 27 Committee on Communications
by G Widin 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

Attached is the report of the Committee. There will also be a motion from the committee concerning the format of Board Minutes. I would like to thank all the members of the Committee for diligent and ground-breaking work on communications with amateurs, both ARRL members and non-members. The original charter of the committee was to make an assessment. In an unusual reverse for any committee, we actually achieved *more* than we were originally expected to, and, I hope, set in motion some important actions which will be helpful to ARRL and the amateur community in general for a long time to come. I hope that the openness and inclusiveness of the actions reported here are continued through future actions of the Board. 73, Greg Widin, K0GW Committee Chair

[arrl-odv:29320] BPL making a comeback?
by rjairam＠gmail.com 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

This is from a reliable source and was posted on Facebook: “ On Tuesday, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai made a presentation to a rather packed audience on the positions of his office. I was there, as I have been in previous years. However, I could not find anyone wearing an ARRL ID there. As the Chairman proceeded he seemed to indicate preferences for support of BPL. It became clear the BPL promoters have been to visit him. In Texas, I followed the request of ARRL President Jim Haynie to organize and work this at the Texas Legislature. We were successful in spite of the heavy handed conduct of the opposition. The BPL issue has been resolved in Texas. At the end of the event I got to visit directly with Chairman Pai and let him know of my concerns on this and some other issues. I told him I could go on for hours about BPL but would not do that now. He appeared friendly and said he remembered speaking with me (that was several years ago when he was a Commissioner). There appeared to be a positive outcome. I expect the BPL issue will come before amateurs again. It is important that amateurs have competent people in place who are capable of participating on this issue.” I’m really hoping we don’t have to sharpen our swords to do battle again, but that seems inevitable. 73 Ria N2RJ

Dear Members of the ODV: As requested, we have set up a Dropbox for Board Motions only. You should all have received an access invite from me. Moving forward, all motions submitted to me will be added to this folder. If you are sending a revision of a previously shared motion, please clearly indicate that this motion replaces the existing one so that there are not multiple versions of the same document. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

[arrl-odv:29327] BPL. PLC ABC, CBS NBC and other interference
by Mark J Tharp 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

As we are sort of on the noise topic, anyone care to take a stab at just what this might be? Note the noise moves up the spectrum. It's on ALL bands, 160 up thru 2 meters. Comes and goes. Some days, it's all day and night, such as last weekend. ?? Mark, HDX MVI_2128.AVI <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pL9NyehKG3Zuq8zm4J_l9x2uoyNfK4St/view?usp=…>
