RM-11833

Uncategorized

In the latest Section news update there is an article that perhaps needs our attention. There is an active petition for rule making that deals with local laws governing our use of mobile equipment. The petition RM-11833 submitted by K4KWH asks the FCC to clarify their jurisdiction on this matter. I have personally seen such restrictions in Texas where it is illegal to use any communications device in a school zone. Other government bodies have passed similar restrictions on our use of mobile/handheld equipment.

Obviously such laws serve to curtail or severely restrict our public service mission. I have written the FCC supporting K4KWH regarding this matter. Perhaps our membership would also care to write. Time is short and I believe the comment period closes this month. Could we place this on the website(s)?

Here is a link to K4KWH’s letter and I will attach mine as a .pdf.

RTTY Contest Jan 5-6 Information

Uncategorized

To: ARRL Contest Clubs

Re: RTTY Roundup and more update

All,

As we head into the holidays, follows are a couple updates for contest clubs.

– FT8 and the ARRL RTTY Roundup (http://www.arrl.org/rtty-roundup) is just a couple weeks away (January 5-6, 2019). This is an event, since its announcement in November 1988 QST, that not only promotes RTTY, but in this new event it also promoted using all digital modes that existed at that time, and those that would follow. As we enter 2019, now some 30 years later, our newest popular mainstream digital mode (FT8) is poised to bring activity to new levels. In January 2019 QST (p.72-73), Joe Taylor, K1JT, presented an article as a how-to for ARRL RTTY Roundup (now with and FT8) to assist participants. As your club members head into the holidays, here’s a link to that article that they may review as they prepare for the event (see http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ContestResults/2019/January%202019%20QST%20-%20Taylor%20-%20FT8.pdf).

– National Contest Journal (NCJ) and New Contester Learning / Training Tools: Per the email below, NCJ is asking clubs to talk-up the myriad of tools available to the contest community, and to discuss and share with NCJ what additional learning content may be of interest to your clubs and members. See the email that follows. Be sure to provide any thoughts/suggestions/follow up to NCJ Editor Scott Wright, K0MD at drscott.wright@gmail.com

Wishing you, your club and it’s members warmest wishes for the holidays!
