The new ARRL News Editor we selected in early March, to follow the recent retirement of Rick Lindquist, resigned a couple of days later after citing a previously undisclosed health challenge. We have selected another candidate to fill the position. We're pleased to welcome John E. Ross, KD8IDJ, of Columbus, Ohio as our new ARRL News Editor. John has been training with Bob Inderbitzen and members of the editorial team for the last 3 weeks. He has already produced the last 2 editions of the ARRL Letter, and last Thursday's ARRL Audio News. John will also produce news content for ARRL's website, and the "Happenings" and "Amateur Radio World" columns in QST. An Extra class licensee, for the past 10 years, John has served as the Public Information Coordinator for the ARRL Ohio Section. His background includes journalist and broadcast engineer. An OSU graduate, he had dual careers as Vice President/Associate for Wilson Group Communications, a Columbus-based public relations, media relations, and crisis management firm. He recently retired from AT&T after 28 years as a Network Analyst. He is a US Army and US Army Reserve veteran, and is a six-time recipient of the President's Volunteer Service Award for helping disabled and homeless veterans. Submissions for The ARRL Letter and ARRL News can be sent to John via news(a)arrl.org<mailto:news@arrl.org>. Thanks David

[arrl-odv:33672] National Hurricane Conference YouTube Video
by Baker, Mickey, N4MB (Dir, SE) 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

This occurred with no notice to me nor the field organization in the Southeastern Division where the National Hurricane Center resides and many destructive hurricanes occur, here is the Amateur Radio track of the National Hurricane Conference. The ARRL and ARES are grossly underrepresented in this track. How is this led by someone who is the leader of the National Hurricane VoIP net? “When all else fails” means that the Internet is not likely operational, IMHO. Ken Bailey’s preso starts at 3:25:10, some someone at HQ knew. https://youtu.be/sTKJz9FpSAs?t=12305 -- Mickey Baker, N4MB Director, Southeastern Division ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio® Phone (561) 320-2775 Email: n4mb(a)arrl.org

[arrl-odv:33668] FCC fee in effect today - issues
by Jairam, Ria, N2RJ (Dir, HD) 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

The fees are in effect as of today. Commenters on my YouTube channel are reporting that the FCC is still asking GMRS applicants to pay $70 instead of $35. Did someone forget to flip the switch? Is anyone reporting that the FCC isn't charging for amateur radio applications (apart from those that are exempt from fees)? Hoping this is just a glitch and not mass confusion. Ria
