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

Many of you may remember Hal as WA7EGA, part of the two person team of himself and Jay Townsend, WS7I, who wrote the rules and created RTTY Round-up. Hal was diagnosed with terminal leukemia a few months ago and passed away yesterday morning. The family has noted no services will be held. RIP Hal.

[arrl-odv:32635] Convention Prize question.....
by Michael Ritz 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

In a couple of weeks is the Pacific NW DX Virtual Convention, an ARRL sanctioned event. At the event will be an ARRL Contest Forum, so in attendance will be myself, Bill, AC0W, (as the CAC Liaison), the NW Division CAC Rep, Jim, KI7Y, and Bart, W9JJ from HQ. (Representing HQ Radiosport). Honorary VP Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF will also be at the virtual convention, but not in any official ARRL capacity, or a part of the forum. There will be a bunch of different door prizes for attendees during the event, such as DX Engineering and HRO gift certificates, power supplies, antennas, etc. (No Elecraft K4s) :-( This is a free event, and none of of us are being reimbursed or paid to be there. (there are no costs.) The organizer is raising a question as to whether or not any of the above are eligible for door prizes. My first blush says NO, at least for me as the Division Director, and probably YES for Fenstermaker, as he is in no official ARRL capacity in the event, but what about the others? Thoughts? 73; Mike W7VO

[arrl-odv:32633] ARDC Report
by Richard Norton 25 Jul '21

25 Jul '21

This information is from a verbal report I received from someone who was on a Zoom ARDC meeting yesterday. They have given out around half of the $6 million they expect to hand out this year. Apparently, they now expect to have to give out an additional $2.7 million. This makes a total of around $5.7 million left to disperse. Over half of the $3 million they have already given out went to the MIT radio club for what does not strike me as being something of outstanding value. This reinforces my view that what ham radio needs are good ideas on how to spend money, not ideas related to how to raise more. 73, Dick Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

[arrl-odv:32629] Comment from Japanese ham
by rjairam＠gmail.com 23 Jul '21

23 Jul '21

Comment: “ Very nice to see a Japanese ham, Hiroki Kato, AH6CY, on the cover of the QST Magazine August 2021 issue. Probably the first time in my ARRL membership since 2002. ” It is nice to see but I’m surprised it took so long. While we are a US based organization, amateur radio is a global community. I’ve written for Japanese amateur radio magazines and they are very keen on the American and international viewpoint. I think we ought to return the favor sometimes, especially given just how much we use Japanese designed and manufactured radio equipment. This is not just for Japan but also more international content. Anyway it was nice to see. 73 Ria N2RJ
