59. Mr. Roderick, as Liaison, delivered the report of the DX Advisory Committee. The main task of the Committee was the study and adoption of Ducie Island as a new entity.
60. The Board noted the written report of ARDF Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV, which covered recent events including a recap of the first USA ARDF Championships held in Albuquerque July 31 through August 4, 2001. Preparations are underway for Team USAs participation at the 2002 World Championships in Slovakia in September 2002.
61. Mr. Stafford, as Chairman, presented the report of the Novice Spectrum Study Committee. The Committees report included its recommendations and a sampling of comments from some of the 4744 respondents to a survey placed on the ARRL Web site and in QST. On motion of Mr. Stafford, seconded by Mr. Race, it was MOVED that the following resolution be adopted.
WHEREAS, the FCC in a 1999 Report and Order stated it would no longer issue Novice Class Amateur Radio Licenses after April 15, 2000; and
WHEREAS, at Minute 66 of the January, 2001 Annual Meeting the President was authorized to appoint a committee to study the issue of re-farming the Novice bands through solicitation of input from the Amateur Radio community; and
WHEREAS, the Committee, using QST and the ARRL Website, sought input from the entire Amateur Radio community; and
WHEREAS, the committee received input from approximately 5000 amateurs on this issue; and
WHEREAS, a large majority of responses indicated a preference for expansion of the phone bands.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the ARRL Executive Vice President and Counsel are instructed to file a petition containing the following request for changes in the phone, CW, and digital and image mode portions of the following bands:
80 Meters phone, image, CW:
General Class 3800 to 4000 kHz
Advanced Class 3725 to 4000 kHz
Extra Class 3700 to 4000 kHz
40 Meters phone, image, CW:
General Class 7175 to 7300 kHz
Advanced Class 7125 to 7300 kHz
Extra Class 7125 to 7300 kHz
15 Meters phone, image, CW:
General Class 21250 to 21450 kHz
Advanced Class 21200 to 21450 kHz
Extra Class 21175 to 21450 kHz
IT IS FURTHER MOVED that the CW only portion of the following bands, available to Novice Class and Technician Plus Class licensees, be amended as set out below:
80 Meters 3525 to 3700 kHz
40 Meters 7025 to 7125 kHz
15 Meters 21025 to 21175 kHz
AND FURTHER MOVED that the CW, RTTY and data band available to Novice and Technician Plus licensees of 28100 to 28300 kHz be expanded to 28000 to 28300 kHz;
AND FURTHER MOVED that Novice and Technician Plus licensees shall be limited to 200 watts output power when operating CW or digital modes within these expanded band segments. Section 97.313 (C) (1) shall be amended so as to apply only to the 10100 10150 kHz band.
On motion of Mr. Roderick, seconded by Mr. Walstrom, it was VOTED to amend the parts of the resolution regarding 80 Meters and 15 Meters to read:
80 Meters phone, image, CW:
General Class 3800 to 4000 kHz
Advanced Class 3750 to 4000 kHz
Extra Class 3725 to 4000 kHz
3. 15 Meters phone, image, CW:
General Class 21275 to 21450 kHz
Advanced Class 21225 to 21450 kHz
Extra Class 21200 to 21450 kHz
And, correspondingly, CW for Novice and Technician Plus licensees on 80 meters from 3525 to 3725 kHz and on 15 meters from 21025 to 21200 kHz.
The question then being on the amended motion, it was unanimously VOTED to adopt same.
62. At this point the Board considered Directors motions.
63. On motion of Mr. Roderick, seconded by Mr. Isely, it was unanimously VOTED to ADOPT the following resolution:
WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Communications Act requires that all interstate or intrastate communications, and operation of devices which may interfere with other communications must be done pursuant to an FCC license; and
WHEREAS, there is no exception to this statutory requirement relative to Part 15 devices, and therefore FCCs jurisdiction to allow the manufacture and sale of Part 15 devices must be premised on a finding that the devices will not cause interference to licensed services; and
WHEREAS, Section 302(a) of the Communications Act does not entitle FCC to permit unlicensed devices which have substantial interference potential to licensed services;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the ARRLs Washington Advocacy team is directed to pursue, by means of a petition for reconsideration in ET Docket 98-156; by comments in ET Docket 01-278, and by other necessary means, a clear statement from FCC acknowledging the limit of its statutory jurisdiction to authorize the manufacture and sale of unlicensed Part 15 devices, imposed by 47 U.S.C. section 301.
64. On motion of Mr. Fallon, seconded by Mr. Bodson, it was MOVED that the following resolution be adopted:
WHEREAS, it is important to advertise Amateur Radio when responding to disasters and while communicating at special events;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MOVED that staff be tasked with designing and developing a distinctive garment similar to that used by Red Cross volunteers, which can be sold by ARRL to our ARES volunteers and worn by them when responding.
Mr. Butler moved, seconded by Mr. Day, that the matter be referred to staff for study, but the motion failed. On motion of Mr. Day, seconded by Mr. Stinson, it was unanimously VOTED to refer the matter to the Volunteer Resources Committee for study.
65. On motion of Mr. Frenaye, seconded by Mr. Roderick, it was unanimously VOTED that the Membership Services Committee review existing VHF, UHF, and Microwave contest and awards programs and make recommendations on ways to increase interest and participation.
66. Mr. Bodson moved, seconded by Mr. Milnes, that the ARRL omnibus filing shall petition the FCC to revise Part 97 of its rules to permit data emissions in the MF/HF bands where phone emissions are authorized. This can be achieved by adding the word data to each line that says, phone, image in 97.305. In addition, modify 97.307(f)(2) by deletion of the words image and phone. Following discussion, the motion was LOST.
67. On motion of Mr. Isely, seconded by Mr. Harrison, it was VOTED that Moved and Seconded be moved from QST but be published on the ARRL Web and other media.
68. On motion of Mr. Maxwell, seconded by Mr. Milnes, it was VOTED that the MSC study a digital bandplan for the 40 Meter band, anticipating favorable FCC response to the ARRL Spectrum Refarming proposal.
69. On motion of Mr. Goddard, seconded by entire assembly, it was unanimously VOTED to thank staff, especially Lisa Kustosik, KA1UFZ, and Stacy Rogers, for their hard work to ensure the success of this function. (Applause).
70. There being no further business, those present were invited to make informal closing comments and the meeting was adjourned at 5:23 PM. (Time in session as a Board: 13 hours, 51 minutes).
Respectfully submitted,
