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 Texas hams that tried to usurp the Texas repeater frequency coordination entity, the Texas VHF Society. After losing its District of Columbia not-for-profit incorporation in 2002, the National Frequency Coordinators Council, Inc. was again incorporated in Nebraska as of the first week of this month. This is the amateur radio frequency coordination organization that has the MOU with the ARRL. After 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. - Dick, W9GIG
