[arrl-odv:33920] TI article
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Here is a first draft of an article from Gabe, K8PHP, one of the teachers who recently attended TI. Once it is cleaned up I will add it to our ARDC application so that they can see the impact of TI on its audience. He passed his Extra during TI so his callsign at the end will be updated once his vanity call has been approved. Enjoy. David

My understanding is that the staff will add it to the workbook later. Please direct any questions about the report to me. I look forward to seeing most of you later today. David Siddall K3ZJ David R.

[arrl-odv:33901] PSC Meeting agenda
by Michael Ritz 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

The draft version of the PSC Meeting agenda for our Thursday meeting is attached. One question for those on ODV. This year we limited ALL FD stations to 100 W, period. The comments that I've received here in my Division have been overwhelming positive that we should make that change permanent. I noticed myself that it was easier to run with 100W with no kWs to compete with. The QRP guys seem especially happy... That said, Bob Naumann had the following comment to me: "Under Field Day, we have had a lot of complaints about not allowing amplifiers. We’d like to propose that Class D be the only ones restricted from using amplifiers as they are clearly not doing anything of an emergency nature. If a Class A, E, F or other true emergency style operation has the wherewithal to run an amplifier, why not let them?" What have you guys heard from members in your Divisions regarding the 100W rule for FD from your members? Keep, or go back to kWs? You may respond to me off-line to keep the traffic here down. See everybody later this week! 73; Mike W7VO
