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:32999] Hiram Percy Maxim

We have been looking at associations with similar fundamentals to ours to see what they are doing and what we can learn. As a part of that, one team member came across this article about Maxim in NRA's magazine, and there is a response to the piece in a subsequent issue. Both pieces are attached. I had no idea that Maxim invented a silencer for firearms as well as mufflers for automobiles! Enjoy. David

If you really want a hoot, read about HPM’s exploits designing a gas-powered bicycle so he could travel to his girlfriend easier; which evolved to developing horseless carriages and a lot of exploits testing them out. This was in the 1890’s.

[arrl-odv:32994] Sad news re: Joel Hallas
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

I received the following from Becky I wanted to pass on to all of you: Joel W1ZR died on Thanksgiving morning, after surviving nearly 3 years with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Joel's daughter Katie contacted me early last week, to say that Joel's passing would be soon. On Saturday evening, I received an email thread from Bart, showing a conversation between Joe Reisert W1JR and Nancy Hallas, in which Nancy tells Joe of Joel's passing. I got Rick Lindquist started on Joel's Silent Key notice earlier this week. I'll check in with him on Sunday to see if it's ready to be posted. Joel was a brilliant mind, a generous mentor and colleague, and a consummate gentleman. He will be missed. Joel hung in there until the end offering to help Becky with various smaller tasks where she might use his talents. He will be truly missed. David

[arrl-odv:32991] Final Two OCIO External Money Manager Interviews This Monday and Tuesday
by n2cop＠ec.rr.com 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Dear ODV Members: A reminder that the last two interviews with Outside Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) external money manager candidates will be this coming week. We will use the same format for the two-hour interviews as we did for the first three candidate interviews. ODV guests who are not members of the Investment Management Committee (IMC) will be placed in mute and non-video mode. IMC members will use the majority of time to exchange dialogue and questions with the OCIO candidates. Once the questioning is over between IMC members and the candidates - usually around the 90 minute mark of the two hour allotment of time - I will ask any ODV members who wish to ask questions to raise their hand via the chat feature and we will arrange for that ODV guest member to be unmuted and come up on video. At any time during the interview process, ODV members are welcomed to post questions or comments in the chat feature. Please direct those chat questions to me as chairman. After the OCIO candidate representatives are dismissed, ODV members are welcomed to remain for conversation with IMC members about the candidate's performance and observations. Please keep in mind that these OCIO interview sessions are private and confidential. Each candidate is sharing information with ARRL in good faith which they do not wish to be shared with industry competitors. The next meeting is Monday, November 29, at 5:00 PM Eastern time with candidate Brown Advisory. Joining us from that firm will be Susan Traver and Dave Stepherson <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85290819449?pwd=VDUrMEVMWWxYRHVCalp1ZVkxU2x5dz09> https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85290819449?pwd=VDUrMEVMWWxYRHVCalp1ZVkxU2x5dz09 Meeting ID: 852 9081 9449 Passcode: 320376 The last interview of the five OCIO finalists will be Tuesday, November 30, at 7:30 PM Eastern with Vanguard. Joining us from Vanguard will be Guy Scripter and Tom Russo. <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86406808752?pwd=VDFiR0w0emM0UnR0QTZhTHppQjA2Zz09> https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86406808752?pwd=VDFiR0w0emM0UnR0QTZhTHppQjA2Zz09 Meeting ID: 864 0680 8752 Passcode: 187236 If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. 73 de Bill Morine, N2COP Chairman - Investment Management Committee

[arrl-odv:32987] Did I miss something?
by Michael Ritz 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

I noted during the last EC meeting there was supposed to be a special meeting of the full Board to discuss the possibility of setting up a PAC for our legislative efforts for HOA relief. My calendar had it set for this morning the 24th, but I don't recall anything being sent out since the EC meeting to confirm. Did I miss something? Is anything planned? 73; Mike W7VO
