[arrl-odv:33697] A question for the legal eagles....
by Michael Ritz 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

See below. I have a member that lives down in Eugene, Oregon, where the University of Oregon are going to be hosting the World Athletics Championships event this July.(website: https://worldathletics.org/) Essentially, this is the track and field world championship venue for 2022, so it's kind of a big deal. The radio club he belongs to is looking at the possibility of working with the event organizers, (who are located in Monaco), to set up some kind of ham radio special event station, and he first asked me if the ARRL was doing anything itself. The answer, of course is no, so he is moving ahead. The question he has relates to whether or not his radio club, as a 501c3 non-profit, can be part of a for-profit event by having a ham radio station there, and commemorative QSL cards for those that work them. Any un-forseen issues here? 73; Mike W7VO > ---------- Original Message ---------- > From: Scott N7JI Rosenfeld <ars.n7ji(a)gmail.com> > To: Michael Ritz <w7vo(a)comcast.net> > Date: 04/24/2022 9:36 PM > Subject: Another question regarding legality > > > Hey Mike - > > I assume that the World Athletics Championships are a for-profit event. > > Is there any issue commemorating this happening with a ham radio special event station? > > Let's say that the club (or an individual) is given a small budget for QSL cards and postage - and the club is itself a nonprofit, but the organization running the event is itself a for-profit entity. > > Maybe you or someone at the league might have an interpretation? > > Thanks > > Scott N7JI >

Thought I would pass along a photo of the ARRL Booth at NAB 2022 in Las Vegas. We are in the same location as previous years. The show beings today and runs through Wednesday afternoon. Attendance looks to be low this year as one would expect so far. [Image.jpeg] Anthony Marcin, W7XM Vice Director | ARRL Pacific Division ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio® 702.984.9589

That looks like a nice booth with useful literature, good luck. Yes, it will be a down year - earlier this week NAB projected that this year’s attendance will be about 50,000 with 950 exhibitors, compared to 91,500 with 1600 exhibitors at the last one in 2019. I used to be a regular NAB attendee, and remember coming across the ARRL booth one year. Are you doing a reception like they used to do – seems to me it was a 5pm thing, fit in between attendees’ transition from the convention venue to evening activities, but not well attended (or so it seemed to me). 73, Dave K3ZJ From: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces(a)reflector.arrl.org> on behalf of "Marcin, Anthony, W7XM (VD, PD)" <W7XM(a)arrl.org> Date: Sunday, April 24, 2022 at 1:57 PM To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Subject: [arrl-odv:33689] NAB 2022 Thought I would pass along a photo of the ARRL Booth at NAB 2022 in Las Vegas.

[arrl-odv:33685] India possibly bans hams from 70cm
by Jairam, Ria, N2RJ (Dir, HD) 21 Apr '22

21 Apr '22

I picked up this on Twitter and a friend in India has told me that there may be a ban on repeaters in India on 70cm (which is 434-438 there). It may be a full ban including simplex and repeater operations. I've asked Rod to see if he can find any more info, perhaps from the IARU. [Image.jpeg] Ria N2RJ
