[arrl-odv:34164] League’s National Traffic System
by Martin, Sabrina 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

ARRL Officers, Directors, Vice Directors, Section Managers, and Section Traffic Managers As you know, the NTS 2.0 subcommittee of the ARRL Board’s Emergency Communications & Field Services Committee has been working diligently through weekly meetings as it develops a path forward for the modernization of the League’s National Traffic System. Whether providing message-handling services directly to the public or as assistance to served agencies or partner organizations, key parameters of 3rd-party message handling by Radio Amateurs include: * Systematic procedures understood and practiced by all * Timely message delivery * Accuracy in each delivered message * Reliability of message delivery To help develop a baseline against which future improvements in the System will be measured, the group has chosen to originate a test message from W1AW to each of you. It is our hope that your message will come to you via an RF-only path that may include any combination of CW, voice, and/or digital modes. When you receive your message, we are asking you to help us by including the following in an e-mail to ARRL’s Director of Emergency Management, Josh Johnston, KE5MHV, at the address at the bottom of this e-mail: * Date and time of message delivery * Callsign, name, and (if possible) telephone number of the person delivering the message to you * Method of delivery (e.g., telephone call, in-person contact, e-mail, USPS mail, message left on answering machine, etc.) * Message text — exactly as it was given to you, errors, and all If we do not hear back from you within a reasonable number of days after your message is originated by operators at W1AW, we will contact you by e-mail or telephone to determine whether you received your message. Once we have gathered your responses, we will summarize the results and share those findings with you. In the weeks and months ahead, the subcommittee expects to periodically originate additional messages to various other addressee groups — not only to test different aspects of the modernization project, but also as a component of expanded training programs for current and new NTS participants. In general, you will not have any future responses requested by us, but we will keep you informed as each new bundle of messages is readied for origination, so that you can answer questions from Members and others. Thank you for your assistance in helping to make the NTS a more relevant and reliable communications tool in today's modern world. Fred Kemmerer, AB1OC Chair, NTS 2.0 Working Group Please reply with requested information (above) to jjohnston(a)arrl.org<mailto:jjohnston@arrl.org> .

[arrl-odv:34157] September Membership Stats

Hi all: Looking at the September membership totals, every Division showed a negative number for September compared to a year ago. The highest being -3.9%. Please, let's work on recruiting new members and renewals for those who have let their membership lapse. Let's get those Division numbers turned around! 73,Rick - K5UR

I am under the impression that member "mood" and attitude toward the ARRL is at one of the highest points that I can recall. I credit David Minster it proving that the RIGHT CEO can make a difference. I start every presentation with a brief overview of what the ARRL does and how ALL amateurs benefit from ARRL efforts. I identify non-members and ask why they're not members. "Cost" says the guy holding a $100 Comet antenna. During Q&A at Melbourne, FL, (State and Section Convention), this weekend, we had the highest turnout I've seen at this event - I counted 31 in the room at the ARRL Forum and overall attendance was down because many roads are still closed to SW Florida. The inevitable question about HOA protection arose, and I was able to give information about forthcoming bipartisan letters to the FCC Chair from Senators, encouraging the FCC to address symbol rates as well as HOA issues. When the letters are not embargoed, this will be great news to our membership and we can use it in our membership drives. Thanks for your leadership in this area. Continuing erosion of our membership numbers is a bad sign that we're not capturing new hams. We need: 1. Integration with our VEC process to capture contact information for new and upgrading hams. 2. Contact to QUALIFY the reason for licensing and associated interest around amateur radio. This should result in lead generation for HQ AND for the organization sponsoring the testing - and a special "new ham" deal, perhaps. 3. Targeted marketing with sample magazines based on qualification. 4. RESULTS of marketing efforts quantified and changed as needed. -- Mickey Baker, N4MB Director, Southeastern Division ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio® Phone (561) 320-2775 Email: n4mb(a)arrl.org<mailto:n4mb@arrl.org> From: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces(a)reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org>> on behalf of Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org>> Date: Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 9:30 PM To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv(a)arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@arrl.org>> Subject: [arrl-odv:34157] September Membership Stats Hi all: Looking at the September membership totals, every Division showed a negative number for September compared to a year ago.
