I received info about this early yesterday. Apparently the “new”
group is claiming ARRL support in some circles.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, ARRL does have an
agreement in place with the original NFCC, but you should clearly understand
this is brewing up to be a fight between two separate organizations that are in
no way directly connected to ARRL.
We don’t have a dog in whatever fight ensues, nor
should we put our dog in it. So be cautious if you are approached for comments
on this issue regarding ARRL support. It is NOT our fight.

NFCC Has Appeared.
19 DEC 2007 - 2115 CST
Fellow Board Members...
I just finished a phone conversation with the (real) NFCC Secretary and
Treasurer, and my long-time friend, Nels Harvey, WA9JOB.
The group calling itself the National Frequency Coordinators Council, Inc.
is not the amateur radio frequency coordination organization that has an
MOU with the ARRL. This bogus NFCC is the same group of
After losing its
the National Frequency Coordinators Council,
Inc. was again incorporated in
some internal difficulties about three years ago, the (original) NFCC is alive
and well with a properly elected board of directors and an updated website
hosted by the ARRL at: http://www.arrl.org/nfcc/index.htm
On this website, you will find a brief bit of the NFCC's history,
information
about the current NFCC officers, NFCC certified coordination entities, the
articles of incorporation, bylaws, and coordinator certification guidelines.
I would not be surprised to see the real NFCC respond to the December 18th
announcement of this rogue organization in the near future. There is
already
a brief mention of this group on the NFCC website listed above.
