ODV,
From info received back from Dan, by now the notification should have gone out to SMs from Steve Ewald. FYI, GW

I just finished grabbing my QST a few minutes ago to get the phone number of a section manager for a ham who called me on a topic where he could help her better. I believe I have his phone number on my phone but it is not convenient to get while I am on the phone.

Gentlemen This is an ill-conceived change and we should expect it to not be well received by the SMs. I have spoken with the SMs for the West Gulf's two largest sections — neither was consulted regarding the fiat. Both have been in contact recently with Ewald and others at HQ; at no time were they advised of this proposed change or queried as to the impact it might have on their relationship with their Members. Both of the SMs oppose the change; based on their explanations for their opposition, I expect our other two SMs will have the same opinion. Look it up on the website? That requirement disenfranchises our Members who do not have computers — while that number may be decreasing, it is not an insignificant number. Look it up on the website? And how user friendly is the website? "/Almost all communications by members to ARRL representatives is electronic/" does not reflect the experience of the Tips Of The Spear — the SMs [and it does not match my experience as VD]. We are a Member supported entity. Any policy that makes it more difficult for those Members to contact their elected representatives — in this case, the SMs — or that has the potential to make it more difficult for those representatives/SMs to hear from their Members is a policy that diminishes a Member's perception of value and benefit and has the potential to diminish the respect of the volunteers for the League. Policies that impact any subset of our volunteers should never be implemented without at least consulting with the affected volunteers; while their opinions might not be outcome determinative, the basic respect of asking for their input goes a long ways toward maintaining their support and respect. While the decision was certainly well intentioned, it nonetheless should be reversed. 73 _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Office Telephone:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

Hello - While I am encouraged by the recent publication changes to QST, I would urgecaution in raising rankor with our SM's. The street address is probably no longer needed as long as the email address is listed sincenobody actually posts a "snail mail" response in this day and age. Besides that address information is available online. Although the pulp for the page #16 information does come at a cost, the elimination of the telephone number is a change I suggest will not be welcomeby the Section Managers and it might make sense to keep that available in QST. Would it be possible not to eliminate the phone number listings for SMs ?

Kermit, good point about the snail mail but keeping the email and phone number. If we need to cut, seems the mailing address could go. I think Jim, and maybe someone else, said something similar, so perhaps keeping the phone number and email will suffice. Good feedback by all and I'm sure Tom will have a response after giving the comments on ODV some thought. 73 Rick - K5UR ... -----Original Message----- From: Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> To: Henderson, Dan N1ND <dhenderson@arrl.org>; arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Wed, Dec 13, 2017 3:41 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:26843] Re: FW: Upcoming QST page 16 changes Hello - While I am encouraged by the recent publication changes to QST, I would urge caution in raising rankor with our SM's.

This change is not being received well at all. I just got a call from Ohio SM Scott Yonnally N8SY and he thinks it is sheer lunacy. There are many members who are choose not to use the Internet, so the argument about removing the addresses from QST and having the member look it up on the web page, simply fails. I realize that Directors are not supposed to get involved in the day-to-day operation of QST, /_BUT_/ I strongly urge that the complete Section Manager contact information remains on page 16 as it has been for recent memory. 73, Dale WA8EFK On 12/13/2017 4:41 PM, Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv wrote:

All, I think we need to keep the phone numbers of the SM’s in QST. As Dale reports per his OH SM there is still a small yet significant number of members without internet or email capability. At a minimum the phone numbers should remain. 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Director, Delta Division Sent from my iPhone

In an effort to continue to streamline the print edition of QST and to drive members to digital resources that are more efficient to access and maintain, we will be making changes to page 16 of QST, which lists the Section Managers by Division.
Given that almost all communications by members to ARRL representatives is electronic, the postal mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the Section Managers will no longer appear on page 16. We will run only the Section Manager’s name, call sign, and arrl.org e-mail address.
Postal mailing addresses and telephone numbers will still be available through the Section Manager listings on the ARRL website, at www.arrl.org/sections. This web URL will appear on page 16 of QST.
These changes will be implemented with the February 2018 issue of QST.
