Future programs:

David,

Surface-mount soldering vs. thru-hole soldering

ARRL Frequency Measuring Test

Microcontroller (Arduino) applications in the ham shack

Operating a station remotely using IP (Icom RS-BA1)

No, I'm not prepared to talk about or demonstrate any of the above. I would be an enthusiastic attendee though.

Sincerely,

This is about the Throwbot surveillance device, which has been approved by FCC order. Its operating bands overlap the Amateur 70cm band.

I wonder what will happen when hams, doing emergency service, and this gadget (used by some first responders) start to interfere with each other. It would be good to have some protocols in place, I think.

Subject: April Flash Special Webinar

FLASH FLASH FLASH

You won't want to miss this important Antenna Ordinance Webinar.

The ARRL West Gulf Division Director, David Woolweaver, K5RAV, is hosting a webinar entitled "Antenna Ordinances, You and the ARRL" on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 9:00 PM - 11:30 PM EDT. Featured speakers for this webinar will be ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, and noted antenna zoning lawyer, Fred Hopengarten, K1VR.

The scope of the webinar will be an overview of common local antenna regulations that can impact amateur radio tower installations and how the local amateurs should approach dealing with local city officials.
Following the presentations by Imlay and Hopengarten, participants will have the opportunity to ask general questions related to the topic.

Please note this is only a general informational forum. While useful information will be shared, it is not the intent for the presenters to answer questions directly geared towards resolving an specific antenna zoning situation. They will not have the full facts of the situation and may not be licensed to practice in your state. If you are involved in a specific antenna zoning situation, you should contact the ARRL Regulatory Information Office at reginfo@arrl.org with a request for assistance. The Regulatory Information Manager will be happy to provide you with information and contacts for your specific situation.

Amateurs wishing to participate may register on-line at
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/967072785 For more information, contact David Woolweaver at k5rav@arrl.org

Subject: JOTA Promotional Pages Draft

One of the action items from our meeting was to draft promotional pages for
the two key audiences: Scout Leaders and Amateur Operators. The thought was
that these two promotional pages would replace the current fact sheet. I've
made an attempt at drafting these pages, attached, that focus primarily on
engaging the two key audiences, providing brief but exciting information,
and directing them to the web for further detailed information. As we
discussed during our meeting, it was felt that promotion of the event was
the primary objective. This is the text only that would be supported by a
graphic image of the 2011 patch and some photos of Scouts involved in
amateur radio.

Note that these are both significant departures from the current fact sheet,
which I could see was trying to serve two audiences while also providing a
great deal of technical information. These rely heavily on the web page at
www.scouting.org/jota to provide the technical information and supporting
materials. I will start on that information next. I could use your JOTA
timelines to support that effort.

I welcome your edits, comments, and suggestions. I've tossed in a couple of
quotes, but hope that you can provide something more exciting. I also
welcome your thoughts on format. The current fact sheet is an 11 x 17 sheet
folded in two. These pages will be much smaller and could be an 8.5 x 11
sheet on it's own, or folded in two. Note that it will also be available
online and for that reason may better be suited to a single sheet. I will
move this into the graphic design process starting early next week. So I
need your comments by the end of this week.

Feedback welcome and needed!

73,

Jim, K5ND
