Attached here is something even more interesting than the PSC report. In fact, you may want to fold it up under your arm and take it with you during your next restroom trip! You may have already guessed that YES indeed, it's the Northwestern Division 2022 Report to the ARRL Board. ;-) Enjoy! 73; Mike W7VO

[arrl-odv:34466] CONFIDENTIAL
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 09 Jan '23

It is very important that this remain confidential. We do not want this author getting any negative feedback. Using a consultant who examined every packet going into LoTW making these requests, the guilt app has been found: Grid Tracker The author is an ARRL supporter and now knows that his code is killing LoTW and will be removing it from his code. Immediately. David

[arrl-odv:34462] ARRL 2023-2024 Congressional Legislation Status and Budget
by John Robert Stratton 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

All Rick has requested that we review in tomorrow's meeting — in order to save time in the actual meeting — the ARRL's current legislative status and the proposed budget for the ARRL's 2023-2024 Congressional legislative efforts. To facilitate that discussion, a briefing paper — ARRL 2023-2024 Congressional Legislation Status And Budget — is enclosed. The document is marked "Board Confidential." It contains highly sensitive discussions that if they escaped the confines of the Board, could prove damaging to the ARRL's legislative efforts. Be safe. _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

[arrl-odv:34454] Pre-Board Meeting on Monday, January 9
by k5ur＠aol.com 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hi all: A reminder that we will have a pre-Board meeting next Monday, January 9, at 11:00 AM Eastern. Below is the zoom info. This is an informal meeting. Topics thus far include: 1.) Discussion and questions about the 2023-24 Proposed Plan that CFO Middleton distributed to ODV on December 19 (see ODV:34368). The documents are 90 pages long. It's important that you review them ahead of time. We are looking at large deficits in 2023 and 2024. 2.) Any motions expected to be presented by individuals or committees at the Board meeting. I'd like to ask for the Chairs and Liaisons of each committee to be prepared to discuss any possible motion so that we have a chance to discuss issues ahead of time. 3.) Any issues, matters, or questions that we could discuss in advance to help facilitate a smooth Board meeting. Thanks.

[arrl-odv:34453] Interview request
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Please be aware that there is an independent writer looking for content about "Extremism in Amateur Radio" for an article. He's not looking for a quote - he's looking for a 45 minute interview! Bob Inderbitzen researched him. He writes toxic non-fiction pieces and is also an occasional contributor to The Onion (a heavily sarcastic news rag intended to be funny - and sometimes it is!) If you receive a request for an interview, please refer the person to Bob Inderbitzen at HQ. There is nothing to be gained by giving this guy sound bites and partial quotes that will help substantiate his piece based on ARRL's position. Thanks David
