[arrl-odv:31299] Engaging the Volunteer Monitor Program
by Mickey Baker 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Is there a defined process for engaging the Volunteer Monitor program? One of the most frequent requests that I get is about intentional interference, some of which have made some popular repeaters unusable. Last April, the VM program was announced. I understand that we are still in the middle of a pandemic, but is there an engagement process yet? Thanks!

by Mark J Tharp 06 Nov '20

Interesting NASA article posted today commemorating 20 years of ISS communications, including a mention of ARISS and ham radio. 73.. Mark, HDX [image: This photo shows the International Space Station together with the space shuttle.] *The International Space Station: 20 Years of Communications Excellence* For 20 years, NASA has maintained a continuous human presence in space. The International Space Station — a marvel of cooperative engineering, science, and research — has made this incredible feat possible. Throughout the mission, NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) networks have connected station astronauts with loved ones on Earth and empowered profound research on the orbiting laboratory. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/the-international-space-station-2… _______________________________________________ Arrl-ariss mailing list Arrl-ariss(a)reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-ariss

[arrl-odv:31284] ARRL 10 m Contest
by Fred Hopengarten 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

On October 22, 2020, ARRL issued guidance for DX Contest multi-op contest operations (found at http://www.arrl.org/news/guidelines-issued-for-arrl-dx-contest-multioperator -stations): "ARRL has taken the decision to make temporary accommodations for a multioperator station to participate as a team in these popular ARRL contests," (referring to the ARRL DX Phone and CW contests). I've received a call from constituent AA1JD who has operated the ARRL 10 m contest for 35 years with a buddy, NC1M. He asks: Could this temporary accommodation apply to the ARRL 10 m contest as well? This contest is only six weeks away. As (we hope) our COVID-19 concerns are temporary, and as these guys don't want to break their 35 year streak, I ask that PSC consider broadening the list of contests eligible beyond the ARRL DX Phone and CW contests to include the 10 m contest. Would the Chairman of PSC (Director Holden, K0BBC), and members, please consider this request as soon as possible, so that, for example, MS operations this year, amidst the pandemic, are allowed under the guidelines?

[arrl-odv:31280] Treasurer's Report - Sept 2020
by Niswander, Rick 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Attached is my report on the portfolio for the third quarter of 2020. I apologize for providing this much later than normal. October is crunch month for finalizing chapters and other materials for the individual income tax book I edit and co-author through McGraw-Hill. 14th edition which is quite long in the publishing world. So this report, and many other things, were pushed off until the book got buttoned up.
