[arrl-odv:33307] Two Active Radio Amateurs Appointed to FCC's Technological Advisory Council
by david davidsiddall-law.com 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

ODV, Today FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel announced appointments to the Commission’s Technological Advisory Council (TAC). Among the appointments were two active radio amateurs. Doug Lapin, N9GL, is Chair of the ARRL RF Safety Committee and was re-appointed to represent ARRL and the nation’s radio amateurs. He is a Committee veteran, having served on the Committee representing ARRL since its beginning in 2009. Michelle Thompson, W5NYV, also was appointed to the Committee. Michelle is CEO of the Open Research Institute (ORI) and was appointed to represent that organization. ORI interests include amateur satellites. The Committee was first established in 2009 to help the Commission identify important areas of innovation and develop informed technology policies supporting the United States’ competitiveness in the global economy. The Commission stated that the committee will consider and advise the Commission on topics such as 6G, artificial intelligence, advanced spectrum sharing technologies, and emerging wireless technologies, including new tools to restore Internet access during shutdowns and other disruptions. I am looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow evening in Windsor. 73, Dave K3ZJ David R.

[arrl-odv:33305] JGA Fund Development Assessment - For Internal Use Only
by Baker, Mickey, N4MB (Dir, SE) 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

All, I’ve attached the results of the Fund Development Audit that some of you might not have seen. This is an important study that looks in the characteristics of the giving to the ARRL and the Foundation, with analysis about how we can improve our revenue from contributors as well as the administration of the ARRL and the Foundation. “Johnson, Grossnickle and Associates (JGA) was commissioned to conduct a development assessment to explore the strengths and areas of opportunity in fundraising for ARRL and the Foundation. This is an excellent report that explains how data was collected and observations, an analysis of five years of philanthropic revenue, and recommendations for improving our organization to improve revenue as well as our member satisfaction. Please don’t skip ahead, but the recommendations that start on page 11 may affect your thoughts as we work through our agenda on Friday and Saturday. -- Mickey Baker, N4MB Director, Southeastern Division ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio® Phone (561) 320-2775 Email: n4mb(a)arrl.org

[arrl-odv:33297] Date for Operations to Cease Using 3.45-3.5 GHz Segment
by david davidsiddall-law.com 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

ODV, This morning the FCC confirmed that amateurs are required to cease operating in the 3.45 – 3.5 GHz segment by April 14, so this can (and should) be publicly stated. Secondary operation is permitted to continue indefinitely on 3.3 – 3.45 GHz, pending expected future FCC proceedings. Dave From: "david(a)davidsiddall-law.com" <david(a)davidsiddall-law.com> Date: Friday, January 14, 2022 at 4:50 PM To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces(a)reflector.arrl.org> Subject: Date for Amateur Operations to Cease Using 3.45-3.5 GHz Segment ODV, Just a heads’ up: This afternoon the Commission released DA 22-39 in which it announced the results of Auction 110 for the 3.45-3.55 GHz band. The FCC’s Rules provide that “Amateur operations between 3450 MHz and 3500 MHz must cease within 90 days of the public notice announcing the close of the auction for the 3.45 GHz Service.” I have asked the FCC staff to confirm that based on today’s release, the date by which all amateur operations must cease in the covered spectrum is April 14, 2022. Once this exact date is confirmed, I’ll inform you and staff so that an appropriate notice can be made. I do think it best to wait for FCC staff confirmation, but I haven’t experienced problems counting days for regulatory purposes so I expect that April 14 will be the date. In the meantime, as some have inquired this week, weak signal work in this weekend’s ARRL competition can continue on 3.456 GHz. It will be somewhat a “last hurrah”, but operators can move to just below 3.450 in the immediate future and continue, at least until that spectrum’s future is determined. 73, Dave K3ZJ David R.

All, President Roderick has scheduled a second very brief ODV meeting on Thursday evening at the Marriott. The first is with Mike W7VO about the Clean Signal Initiative. Ed Hare, W1RFI, will highlight a significant problem with imported radios - all the details are in the Appendix to the EMC Report Doc #16 that was sent to JP earlier tonight. This Appendix is BOARD CONFIDENTIAL. Your perusal of the Appendix will go a long way to achieve a better understanding of the issue. Ed will also answer any questions. The Lab still has work to do before a Board action can be proposed. Carl K9LA Board Liaison, EMC Committee Director, Central Division
