[arrl-odv:28419] Re: Centenarian hams
Fred, I'm glad you raised this as I was going to but I'm just now getting to emails today. BTW, it took Holly and me 16 hours to get home. It was one of those trips that goes into the Board meeting travel chapters. And we are still looking for our luggage. (hi) Anyway, folks, we spent more time on editing motions on the floor than I ever recall. That includes typos. We've got to do a better job next time. Let's all work on it, and that includes getting motions distributed sooner for review. 73Rick - K5UR -----Original Message----- From: Fred Hopengarten <k1vr@arrl.org> To: 'ODV' <arrl-odv@arrl.org> Sent: Sun, Jul 21, 2019 10:43 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:28409] Re: Centenarian hams #yiv5931954312 #yiv5931954312 -- _filtered #yiv5931954312 {font-family:Helvetica;panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {font-family:Tahoma;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {font-family:Consolas;panose-1:2 11 6 9 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {panose-1:2 2 5 2 5 3 5 2 3 3;} #yiv5931954312 #yiv5931954312 p.yiv5931954312MsoNormal, #yiv5931954312 li.yiv5931954312MsoNormal, #yiv5931954312 div.yiv5931954312MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;} #yiv5931954312 a:link, #yiv5931954312 span.yiv5931954312MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv5931954312 a:visited, #yiv5931954312 span.yiv5931954312MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv5931954312 p.yiv5931954312MsoPlainText, #yiv5931954312 li.yiv5931954312MsoPlainText, #yiv5931954312 div.yiv5931954312MsoPlainText {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;} #yiv5931954312 p.yiv5931954312MsoAcetate, #yiv5931954312 li.yiv5931954312MsoAcetate, #yiv5931954312 div.yiv5931954312MsoAcetate {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:8.0pt;} #yiv5931954312 span.yiv5931954312PlainTextChar {font-family:Consolas;} #yiv5931954312 span.yiv5931954312BalloonTextChar {} #yiv5931954312 .yiv5931954312MsoChpDefault {} _filtered #yiv5931954312 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv5931954312 div.yiv5931954312WordSection1 {} #yiv5931954312 Colleagues, May I suggest that, at the next meeting of the Board, motions of congratulations for individuals or organizations, whether for age, excellence, or other factors justifying a motion, should be presented in advance so that they may be included in the consent agenda? In addition, motions presented in advance can be edited for typos and format by the Secretary, reducing the need for "on the fly" error correction during the meeting? This process will allow us to engage in such activity almost without limit, while at the same time freeing up time for more substantive motions. I think we can do both honors and substance.

It took me about the same (15.5 hours), but I had more distance to travel. Sorry about jinxing your flight :). Greg, did you make it home to Huntsville?

My “flight” was smooth. No cops, no tickets. Straight shot down I-84. Anyone flying out tonight from New York area airports, you have my deepest sympathies. We had pelting rain like I haven’t seen in a while. Lightning too. Pretty sure LGA, EWR and JFK will be delayed for a while.

Home at 1 am West coast time. Including a ,,, wait for it,,, 2 1/2 hour delay at BDL, only to sit on the taxiway for another 40 minutes while we ran the engines at 75% throttle to burn off fuel because they put too much in, and we were overweight.... Sea-Tac had no available gates when we finally got to Seattle, and they sent a bus to the end of the runway and took us about 2 miles in and out of moving jets ( ??? ) to the terminal. I thought I was the only one but the closer to home, the more folks I found delayed. One really cool thing was while waiting at Sea-Tac, a guy asked about my shirt, ( ARRL polo) so I told him what it was, and where I had been. He has 2 neighbors who have towers in his home town, and was going to talk to them about Ham Radio. He was very interested in leaning more. Made the 12 hours in the air and in terminals prior to the conversation worth it. Glad everyone is finally home and Rick, you need to get a ride in that sled of Ria's, that is a very cool car. The darn thing even backs it's self out of a parking stall. 73, Mark KB7HDX On Mon, Jul 22, 2019 at 5:50 PM Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv < arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote:

I finally made it home, took ~26 hours.Engine problems caused two board & disboards, hours of analysis, then the need for new aircraft that arrived 8 hours later. Then an intoxicated person "medical issue " caused another long delay. Delta bought Domino's pizza for everyone.
