Some services on the ARRL website may be interrupted briefly on Wednesday,
February 13, sometime between 1100 UTC and 1300 UTC. This outage is to
accommodate a hardware test of the existing failover system for all systems
behind the Rackspace firewall. Affected systems are the main website,
including the ARRL Store and contesting-related pages. Logbook of The World
(LoTW), email, and Headquarters will not be affected. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
ARRL Board of Directors Tackles Ambitious Agenda
A demanding agenda faced the ARRL Board of Directors when it convened for
its annual meeting on January 18 - 19 in Windsor, Connecticut. President
Rick Roderick, K5UR, chaired the session. Several new faces were around the
table, with four newly elected ARRL Directors, one newly elected Vice
Director, and one recently appointed Vice Director. Attending for their
first meeting as Board members were Hudson Division Director Ria Jairam,
N2RJ; New England Division Director Fred Hopengarten, K1VR; Northwestern
Division Director Mike Ritz, W7VO, and Roanoke Division Director George
"Bud" Hippisley, W2RU. Also present were Northwestern Division Vice Director
Mark Tharp, KB7HDX, and Rocky Mountain Division Vice Director Robert
Wareham, N0ESQ, who was appointed last fall to fill a vacancy.

On a voice vote, the Board authorized $485,000 to fund a project to be
carried out by Connecticut media and advertising consultants Mintz & Hoke,
to develop lifelong learning strategies and programs aimed at attracting and
retaining ARRL members, especially newly licensed radio amateurs.
"Our focus is on expanding the reach of ARRL by providing instructional
materials to Amateur Radio operators who have a wide range of interests and
experience levels," ARRL Lifelong Learning Manager Kris Bickell, K1BIC,
remarked this week. The program will offer a modern, user-friendly
educational environment with various learning paths, such as getting on the
air, public service, technological experimentation, and advanced operating
and technical tips, Bickell said.
The Board adopted an ARES plan as recommended by the Programs and Services
Committee. Committee Chair Dale Williams, WA8EFK, said the ARES plan will
establish training programs and three levels of ARES membership. It also
revises ARES appointment definitions and designates the Emergency
Coordinator (EC) as the lead person in local activations. Section and
District Emergency Coordinators will serve as resources.

The Board also established an EmComm Manager Requirements Committee, charged
with setting the requirements for ARRL's Emergency Preparedness and Response
Manager function.
The Board received the report of ARRL CEO Howard Michel, WB2ITX, who
outlined plans to reorganize and refocus the activities at ARRL
Headquarters. Michel said providing better value to membership is a top
priority, and he sees value creation and value delivery as key components to
long-term membership retention and growth.
dressing an ARRL governance issue, the Board repealed the ARRL Policy on
Board Governance and Conduct of Members of the Board of Directors and Vice
Directors, commonly known as the "Code of Conduct," on an 11-3 vote with one
abstention.
The Board voted unanimously to create a Legal Structure Review Committee to
study and make recommendations to update ARRL's legal structure "to reflect
ARRL's current operational needs."
The Board created a permanent Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) Committee "to develop an interactive relationship" with
ARISS, which sponsors voice contacts between ISS crew members and school
groups and gatherings on Earth, "bringing together STEM program objectives
and local Amateur Radio groups." The Board motion said ARISS "has
demonstrated very positive public relations benefits to the ARRL, and that
it's ARRL's best interests to support ARISS."
The ad hoc Logbook of The World (LoTW) Committee was elevated to permanent
status, reporting to the ARRL ministration and Finance Committee.
As already announced, the Board withdrew, without prejudice to refiling,
ARRL's December 18, 2018, Petition for Rule Making to the FCC, which sought
to amend the Part 97 Amateur Service rules to incorporate the provisions of
the Amateur Radio Parity Act (ARPA). The Board said that ARRL needs to
"review, re-examine, and reappraise ARRL's regulatory and legislative policy
with regard to private land use restrictions."
In other business, the Board:
received the report of ARRL Treasurer Rick Niswander, K7GM, on ARRL's
investments for 2018. He said ARRL's portfolio recorded a small loss for the
year, "consistent with market-derived expectations."
heard from Chief Financial Officer Diane Middleton, W2DLM, who reported that
"a financially strong balance sheet generated a larger-than-expected gain
from operations for 2018." Cash flow also continued to be favorable.
received the report of EMC Committee chair Kermit Carlson, W9XA, who told
the Board his panel is working to raise awareness of a variety of issues
stemming from major technological advances, such as wireless power transfer
systems for charging electric vehicles. Carlson said that while new systems
need spectrum, protection of other bands for other services is necessary. He
invited the Board's vigilance in alerting the EMC Committee to potential
concerns.
affirmed its support of the National Traffic System and all amateurs
involved in traffic handling, and their role as partners to ARES in ARRL's
public service tool kit.
considered recommendations of the ministration and Finance Committee and
adopted the ARRL 2019 - 2020 Plan.
elevated past New England Division Director Tom Frenaye, K1KI, to Director
Emeritus, commending him for his more than 30 years of service to Amateur
Radio "as a leader in his community, ARRL Division, and nationwide." Since
1975, Frenaye has served as an ARRL employee, Director, and Vice President,
and as President of the ARRL Foundation.
elevated retiring West Gulf Director Dr. David Woolweaver, K5RAV, to ARRL
Honorary Vice President, in recognition of "providing outstanding
leadership" throughout his 19 continuous years as a Vice Director and
Director.
directed the ARRL Secretary to cast ballots in support of the re-election of
IARU President Timothy Ellam, VE6SH, and IARU Vice President Ole Garpestad,
LA2RR, for additional 5-year terms.
received greetings from IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, on behalf of IARU
President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, and from Radio Amateurs of Canada President
Glenn MacDonell, VE3XRA.
Minutes of the annual meeting have been posted.
FCC Digging Out from Beneath Shutdown Backlog
In the wake of the more-than-month-long partial government shutdown, the FCC
has set about tackling a backlog of applications already in the queue. At
first, it sought to hold back the flood as it dug out, asking that Volunteer
Examiner Coordinators (VECs) give the agency a little breathing room before
submitting any additional new files. On Monday, services using the FCC
electronic batch filing (EBF) system -- including commercial and amateur --
received an automated message from the FCC updating users on the situation.
"Due to the recent government shutdown, applications submitted through the
Electronic Batch Filing (EBF) system between the dates of January 3 through
January 29 will begin processing over the next several weeks [emphasis
added]," the FCC said. "Please, be patient as we are expeditiously working
through the backlog of filings." Expeditious it was, taking not weeks but
days.
"The FCC worked through its backlog very quickly, and started processing our
files about noon today," Assistant ARRL VEC Manager Amanda Grimaldi, N1NHL,
said on Wednesday. "We're slowly submitting the files we have in queue -- we
don't want to bombard them! Assuming there are no hiccups, everyone should
see their applications processed by the close of business on Thursday."
The ARRL VEC had piled up some 2,700 pending Amateur Radio applications,
many of them from 425 ARRL VEC examination sessions that took place during
the shutdown or immediately prior to it. These do not include files that the
other 13 VECs may have ready to upload.
As it attempts to dig out from beneath a blizzard of applications from all
services, the FCC this week reset some filing deadlines and established new
receipt dates. The FCC said filings due between January 3 and January 7
(inclusive) will be due on January 30. Filings that would otherwise be
required to be filed between January 8 and February 7 will be due on
February 8. The FCC said all ULS applications and notifications originally
due on January 3 through February 8 (inclusive) are now due on February 8,
2019.
"In addition, all Universal Licensing System (ULS) filings that were held
during the lapse in funding through January 25, as well as any other ULS
filings that were held from January 26 through January 29, will be
considered received on January 29," the FCC said. The large volume of
filings submitted during the partial government shutdown will be entered
into ULS in batches and assigned a January 29 receipt date, the FCC said.
That includes Amateur Radio vanity call sign applications filed via ULS or
by mail between January 3 and January 29, which will be treated as filed on
January 29.
Ordinarily, vanity call sign applications are processed on a daily basis,
with a random selection procedure used to determine the processing order for
applications filed on the same day.
The FCC said changes in receipt dates were made "in order to accommodate the
orderly resumption of business."
ARRL Board Bestows Bill Leonard, W2SKE, Media Awards
During its annual meeting on January 18 - 19, the ARRL Board of Directors
named the recipients of two ARRL Bill Leonard, W2SKE, Professional Media
Awards. Recipients were recommended for the award by the ARRL Public
Relations Committee, with the concurrence of the Programs and Services
Committee.
Tom Knapp of lancasteroneline.com and the LNP Media Group Inc. of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, was named as the 2018 Bill Leonard, W2SKE, Professional Media
Award for Print Reporting recipient. The Board said Knapp "went above and
beyond to capture the workings of Field Day at W3RRR, the Red Rose Repeater
Association."
Bill Leonard, W2SKE (SK).
The Board named Andrew Schmertz and New Jersey Television (NJTV) as
recipients of the 2018 Bill Leonard, W2SKE, Professional Media Award for
Video Reporting. The Board cited Schmertz and NJTV for "outstanding
coverage" of the February 23 - 24, 2018, HamSCI conference at New Jersey
Institute of Technology (NJIT). NJIT Assistant Research Professor Nathaniel
Frissell, W2NAF, the cofounder of HamSCI and instrumental in organizing the
Solar Eclipse QSO Party (SEQP) in 2017, spearheaded the conference to
discuss his eclipse research. NJTV, which is New Jersey's public television
network, covered the conference. Schmertz interviewed Frissell, numerous
faculty members, attendees, and members of NJIT's Amateur Radio station,
K2MFF, "all with an eye to explain clearly to the public the significance of
measuring the effects of solar activity on communications," the Board said.
The ARRL Bill Leonard, W2SKE, Award honors professional journalists or
journalistic teams whose outstanding coverage highlights the enjoyment,
importance, and public service value of Amateur Radio. The award pays
tribute to the late CBS News President Bill Leonard, W2SKE, an avid Amateur
Radio operator and advocate. The Leonard Award may be granted for audio,
visual, and print/text media reporting.
Geoffrey Starks Sworn in as FCC Commissioner
The FCC now officially has its full complement of five members. Democrat
Geoffrey Starks, who succeeded Mignon Clyburn on the Commission, was sworn
in January 30. He formerly served as assistant bureau chief in the FCC
Enforcement Bureau.
"I am deeply honored to serve as a Commissioner of the Federal
Communications Commission, and I thank the President and the United States
Senate for this exceptional privilege." Starks said in a statement. "As the
last few weeks have affirmed, being a public servant is a calling to serve a
mission bigger than yourself. Throughout my career, I have focused on
protecting the most vulnerable and holding wrongdoers accountable. In my new
role, I shall not only continue to pursue those goals, but also look forward
to working with Congress, my fellow Commissioners, and the FCC's outstanding
staff."
Starks said that every community "has a stake in the future of
communications in this country, and all have the right to be heard. I will
always be listening."
Republican Brendan Carr, who already was sitting on the Commission after
appointment to an unexpired term, recently was been reconfirmed for a new
full 5-year term. Three of the FCC's five members are traditionally of the
same political party as the President.

Amendment Aims to Promote CITEL/CEPT Amateur Radio Operating Reciprocity
Chile recently became the third country to sign the Amendment of the
Inter-American Convention on the use of an International Amateur Radio
Permit (IARP). Once the Amendment is in effect, Chile and other
Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL) signatories may offer
reciprocal Amateur Radio privileges to Amateur Radio licensees from European
Conference of Postal and Telecommunications ministrations (CEPT)
member-countries that have implemented CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-01 (CEPT
Radio Amateur License).
The Inter-American Convention says CEPT-country licensees "shall be entitled
to the same rights and privileges enjoyed by holders of the IARP, provided,
however, that CEPT accords all holders of the IARP the same rights and
privileges enjoyed by holders of the CEPT Amateur Radio license. The
Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly approved the treaty
last June; CITEL comes under the OAS umbrella. In addition to Chile, the
Dominican Republic and Argentina have signed.
IARPs are not valid for operation in the territory of the issuing country
and are valid for 1 year. A Class-1 IARP allows the use of all frequency
bands allocated to the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite Services and specified
by the country where the amateur station is to be operated, per
Recommendation ITU-R M.1544. A Class-2 IARP permits utilization of all
frequency bands allocated to the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite Services
above 30 MHz and specified by the country where the amateur station is to be
operated.
US radio amateurs already enjoy both IARP and CEPT reciprocity.
National Weather Service Dropping High Seas and Storm Warnings on WWV/WWVH
The National Weather Service (NWS) is discontinuing its high seas and storm
warnings transmitted via National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)
WWV/WWVH time and frequency-standard HF transmissions, starting January 31
at 1800 UTC. The NWS warnings are aimed at the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico,
and the Pacific.
"This service is being terminated because weather information in the current
broadcast format does not support frequent-enough updates for changes in
marine weather and cannot provide enough detail in the allotted window
required by mariners to avoid hazardous weather," NWS said in announcing the
discontinuation. "ditionally, alternative technologies and numerous media
outlets that provide weather information in various formats have overtaken
the need for providing weather information through the NIST frequency
signals."
The NWS said other sources of marine weather information, high seas alerts,
and detailed forecasts are available over satellite, telephone, the
internet, marine fax, radio fax, and VHF radio. The NWS, US Coast Guard, and
US Navy provide multiple dissemination methods for storm positioning, high
sea areas, observations, forecasts, outlooks, and warnings for both coastal
and oceanic marine zones near the US, all through a variety of technologies,
including NAVTEX and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
In Brief...
John Robert Stratton, N5AUS, of Austin, Texas, is the new ARRL West Gulf
Division Director. Stratton, the incumbent Vice Director, moved up to the
Director's chair after Director Dr. David Woolweaver, K5RAV, announced his
immediate retirement during the ARRL Board of Directors meeting on January
18 - 19. An attorney, Stratton served as West Gulf Division Vice Director
since 2009, when he was appointed to succeed Woolweaver, who became Director
following the resignation of then-Director Coy Day, N5OK. Woolweaver served
as West Gulf Vice Director from 2000 until 2009, and as Director from 2009
until 2019. During his tenure, he served on several committees, including
the ARRL Board Executive Committee. He is a member of the ARRL Foundation
Board of Directors. Stratton holds a bachelor of science in aerospace
engineering from the University of Texas and is a graduate of the University
of Texas Law School. ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, will fill the
vacant West Gulf Division Vice Director's position by appointment.
The third annual AM Rally is this weekend. The event, which aims to
encourage the use of AM on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, and 6 meters gets under
way at 0000 UTC on Saturday, February 2 (Friday, February 1, in US time
zones) and continues until 0700 UTC on Monday, February 4. The AM Rally is
open to any radio amateurs running full-carrier amplitude modulation using
any type of radio equipment -- modern, vintage, tube, solid-state,
software-defined, military, boat anchor, broadcast, homebrew, or commercial.
Numerous transceivers in use today offer AM capability. A lot of hams enjoy
restoring and using vintage Amateur Radio equipment. The event website has
complete AM Rally details, contact information, award categories, logging,
and tips on how to get the most out of your station equipment in AM mode.
Contact Clark Burgard, N1BCG, for more information. The event is sponsored
by Radio Engineering Associates (REA), in cooperation with ARRL, which
supports all modes of Amateur Radio operation. W1AW will play a leading role
in the event, as it has for the past 2 years.
The 2019 HamSCI Workshop has issued a second call for papers and speakers.
The event is set for March 22 - 23 at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU)
in Cleveland, Ohio. Registration remains open. All interested individuals
are welcome to attend the event, held in association with the CWRU Amateur
Radio Club (W8EDU). HamSCI's Nathaniel Frissell, W2NAF, is especially
interested in signing up additional speakers. "We are especially looking for
speakers with presentations showing analysis of ionospheric observations,
ideas and proposals for the design of the Personal Space Weather Station and
instrumentation for the 2024 eclipse," Frissell said. "We will also accept
other presentations related to Amateur Radio and science." Speakers already
on the roster include ARRL Contributing Editor Ward Silver, N0AX;
propagation expert Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, and MIT Haystack Observatory's
Larisa Goncharenko. Email presentation abstracts to hamsci@hamsci.org by
February 15.
Maxim Memorial Station W1AW is seeking a volunteer station on the US West
Coast that can serve as another ARRL Qualifying Run CW transmitting station.
The west-coast station shares in the transmission of a monthly Qualifying
Run for the benefit of those on the west coast. Minimum requirements include
the ability to transmit a good, high-quality, stable, high-power (at least 1
kW) CW signal on 80 meters, an up-to-date PC running Windows 7 or higher,
and a semi-flexible schedule. USB interface hardware and software for
generating Morse code from text files are available. The W1AW staff
determines the 2019 operating schedule, in conjunction with west coast
operators. Contact Jim Michener, K9JM, for further details.
Getting It Right
The story "FCC Reactivating Equipment Authorization System" in the January
24 edition of The ARRL Letter contained an inaccurate statement. It should
have said, "RF devices, including Amateur Radio equipment that contains a
scanning receiver, and Amateur Radio power amplifiers, must be properly
authorized before being marketed or imported into the US."
The K7RA Solar Update
Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: The past week saw increased solar
activity, with average daily sunspot numbers rising from 5.3 to 19.6 and
average daily solar flux from 69.8 to 74.5. We haven't seen such strong
activity since the beginning of last summer, when we reported average daily
sunspot number at 22.6 and average daily solar flux at 75.3.
Predicted solar flux is 73 on January 31; 71 on February 1; 72 on February 2
- 7; 69 on February 8 - 12; 72 on February 13 - 27; 70 on February 28 -
March 3; 69 on March 4 - 11, and 72 on March 12 - 16.
Predicted planetary A index is 20, 18, 12, 10, and 8 on January 31 -
February 4; 5 on February 5 - 18; then 12, 20, 12, and 8 on February 19 -
22; 5 on February 23 - 26; then 8, 18, 10, and 8 on February 27 - March 2,
and 5 on March 3 - 16.
In this week's bulletin, look for a report from Jon Jones, N0JK, in Kansas,
concerning FT8 activity on 6 meters.
Sunspot numbers for January 24 - 30 were 19, 27, 26, 22, 16, 15, and 12,
with a mean of 19.6. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 73.5, 73.1, 75.8, 75.1,
76.6, 75, and 72.4, with a mean of 74.5. Estimated planetary A indices were
19, 13, 7, 5, 1, 2, and 2, with a mean of 7. Estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 13, 10, 5, 3, 0, 0, and 0, with a mean of 4.4.
