by Richard Norton 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

It is now two weeks into January and less than a week from the Board meeting. The ODV Membership Stats page still does not have the December data. Is it possible that the page could be updated today? 73, Dick, N6AA Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

[arrl-odv:34494] FW: AA3HD - An Update
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

These are the kinds of emails I love to receive. I thought you’d enjoy reading it. Thanks to Director Ritz for getting VOTA on the air from OR! Here’s one of your 600+ contacts! David From: Anthony Baker <tonybaker(a)maine.rr.com<mailto:tonybaker@maine.rr.com>> Date: January 12, 2023 at 12:05:55 PM EST To: dminster(a)gmail.com<mailto:dminster@gmail.com> Subject: AA3HD - An Update Greetings Mr. Minster, Back in August I attended the HAMXposition in Marlborough, MA. Among other things that I did there was listen to you give the keynote address. I found your talk very inspiring and informative, and I very much enjoyed your transparency and truthfulness...something that I find lacking in much of our society today. Near the end of your talk you asked all of us to do three things: 1) Become a Diamond Club member. 2) Get just one person active on the air over the next year. This can be someone newly licensed, or someone who is licensed, but inactive. 3) Lastly, that 2023 will be the year of the volunteer, and you asked that all members ‘move up one rung’ in their responsibilities as an active ham. I wanted to let you know that I took your talk to heart. At the beginning of this year I became a Diamond Club member. I got a fairly inactive HAM, (Rick -- KB1ASM), to get active and convinced him to run for President of the little HAM club I belong to, (York County Amateur Radio Club -- www.W1YCA.org<http://www.W1YCA.org>), and in November he did get elected President. Lastly, also in November, I 'moved up a one rung' and was elected Secretary in our club from just being a member. I have also become more active in my membership with the York County Emergency Communications Team, helping our Team Lead, (Neil, K1NBT), in developing scenarios for our ECOMM exercises, and becoming an authorized SHARES alternate radio operator for the York County Emergency Management Agency. I know I am not the most active amateur radio operator, but I did want to let you know that your words didn't just go in one ear and out the other with me. I will be trying to steer our club president towards getting our club ARRL affiliated, and wonder if you might suggest a Maine ARRL official who could come and speak to our club about the pros and cons of such a move, and what requirements our club must meet to become ARRL affiliated. Thank you for your time, and happy new year of the volunteer. I've already had a QSO with Mike, W7VO!! 73 - Tony - AA3HD

Any ideas about these “mystery antennas” around Salt Lake City? I assume some sort of radio. Does anyone know? https://tinyurl.com/ykpw7u55 73, Dave K3ZJ David R.

[arrl-odv:34479] Re: Radiogram greetings
by RBFamiglio＠verizon.net 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Just to close the loop since I am a supporter of NTS revival. I received Phil's holiday greeting by NTS this morning, 21 days after posting into the system. See attached. I am aware there are issues with the email injection point and some DTS relays with NTS yet to be worked-out. I know the delivering station as well. Good news is that the text looks perfect. The test message from Josh Johnson a while back was significantly garbled - unrecognizable address and an extra STOP (x-ray) placed in the message. That message seemed to be delivered promptly in a day or so by phone. It may have lost a word or two, but Josh has the (corrected) hard copy I received back. I am interested in any updated spreadsheet (Phil or anyone has) as to informal results in that the original reported results was of concern. It was an interesting check.

I don’t know how you usually handle this in the minutes, or if it needs to be handled, but you will remember that I was excused from the entire Committee of the Whole discussion on Nov. 21, which was the whole substantive meeting that day. 73, Dave Siddall K3ZJ From: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces(a)reflector.arrl.org> on behalf of "Minster, David NA2AA (CEO)" <dminster(a)arrl.org> Date: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 4:36 PM To: "arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Subject: [arrl-odv:34480] Special Board Meeting Minutes - Revised I received a number of approvals of the minutes without the requested revision from Director Ritz, but would like to respectfully request that you review this final revised version ahead of releasing it to members.
