Thanks for your observations.  All they (The ARRL) has to do is respond to
my free offer of a Webinar to explain their position to the membership. So
far all I see is more condescending responses about how "WE" the members
need to be better educated.  I believe my fellow Amateurs who enjoy AM and
Vintage equipment are more intelligent than that.

A proposal is required, along with at least 10% of the membership in that
Division signing and dating the petition. After the petition is
validated, a ballot is prepared and a vote must be taken of the
membership in that entire Division (Recall - Yes or No). The paid staff

Also, you said: "we "ignorant" members"

[AMRadio] Re: More from Central Division Director

2007-11-09 Thread SBJohnston

Mr Isely -

Thank you for your message and apology.  I hope you are feeling better...

I must continue to disagree with your contention that IARU Region 2 bandplan 
does not apply to the United States, and is not important to us.   The first 
paragraph of the plan itself defines its purpose:  Member Societies (such as 
ARRL) are to work for its incorporation into authority (such as FCC) 
regulations.   And did not ARRL vote in support of that wording?   So I must 
conclude 
that the ARRL must support the eventual incorporation of this plan into the FCC 
rules.  So it is important, after all...

If it is really meaningless to U.S. amateurs, as you contend, then why do you 
support it, and hope that it will help us deal with new digital modes?   Why 
is ARRL spending thousands of dollars to attend the IARU meetings and 
participate in the drafting of these changes, if it is of no consequence to us?

ARRL represents our country in the IARU, so as a member of ARRL I thought I 
would have a voice in this process, or at least have been informed.  Clearly I 
was wrong.   It was done behind the scenes without consulting the membership 
in any way, and member efforts to to discuss the matter have been viewed as 
ignorant interference.  

As far as I can discern, the ARRL not only doesn't care about the members' 
views on this issue, the League officials are deliberately trying to avoid the 
discussion.  I've not seen any announcement of the IARU Region 2 bandplan 
changes in QST, on the ARRL website, the ARRL-Letter, or elsewhere.  I've not 
seen 
any mention of the role ARRL is taking in this policy process either.   

In your message you stated that we needn't expect a further attempt by the 
ARRL to get bandwidth controls into FCC rules for at least two years - not 
until 
the League has had a chance to "educate" the members and other amateurs on 
the matter.

Mr. Isley, I think you're a bit confused as to the role of the League, and 
that of a Director.  Have you read the Articles of Association and By-Laws?
Shouldn't the views of the members be your first priority in the making of 
policy, rather than the last?  Or do you really think that you and the League 
officials are to set the course and we just have to follow along, sometimes 
with a 
bit of "education" to set us straight?

Whatever happened to the slogan "Of, by, and for the amateur?"

[AMRadio] More from Central Division Director

2007-11-09 Thread SBJohnston


I just received a further clarification and apology from the ARRL Central 
Division Director...

- - - - - - - - 

9 NOV 2007 - 1505 CDT

Steven B. Johnston, WD8DAS

Dear Mr. Johnston,

Thank you for writing to me twice about the recently approved IARU Region 2
Band Plan.  I have been slow in responding to your messages because of
coincidental bad timing.  Your two emails and a very few others (current
total of 24) on this issue, along with approximately 300 other unrelated
emails arrived during time period when I was planning for and recovering
from a minor outpatient surgical procedure the past two weeks.  I mention
this only to explain my slow response.

Also, when a given issue appears to be generating some controversy, I like
to wait until I have a reasonable reading on the issue and the emails 
I have received.  For routine ARRL items, I try to respond within 48 
hours, if I am
at home.  Now to get down to business...

I admit I should have used neutral, less inflammatory words in my 
last email posting to the entire Central Division and for this 
apologize to you.
However, I stand by the content of my message because:

1. The Region 2 IARU band plan is only advisory and has no effect on our
current U.S. Amateur Radio Service HF band plan.  The primary intent of
this document is to provide guidance to Region 2 amateur radio societies
in countries that have little or nothing in the way of a band plan.  How
hams in other parts of the world operate effect us and vice versa.  And
regardless of your or my personal views on band plans, we would have
chaos without band plan regulations.

2. There are hams in the U.S. (and other parts of the world) who fear any
real or perceived change in the status quo.  Regardless of my poor
description of these people, it does not change the fact that they exist
and that a very few of them are very quick to publicly take offense.
Those who fall into this category seldom accept all the facts about the
issue, or issues that have caused them to speak out.  At best, they 
cherry
pick the facts that support their viewpoint.  The phrase in my mind that
best describes this situation is, "Don't confuse me with the facts 
because
my mind is already made up."

The people I described in #2 certainly have the right to speak out 
and I was wrong in my choice of descriptive words in my last division 
email posting.

But I wish individuals who accept at face value what is being said by 
these people would do their own independent fact-checking.  I'm 
skeptical about a
lot of what is said and published about controversial issues, both 
within and outside of amateur radio, until I have done my own 
homework.  My wife says I
am too suspicious, but this characteristic contributed to my 
longevity as a military and then as a civilian professional 
pilot.  And in retirement, it's still my frame of reference.

This skepticism first had me opposing regulation by bandwidth when it 
gained serious consideration by the ARRL board.  It took me about a 
year to finally understand the rationale for it and to then make sure 
that no existing HF
users would be shut out in the proposal.

The concept of regulation by bandwidth was developed via informal FCC-ARRL
staff discussions over several years before I arrived on the ARRL board in
2001.  When (orthogonal?) modulation systems started showing up that 
legally allow wide-band signals in narrow (non-voice) HF sub-bands, 
work on a band- width regulation proposal was formalized by board 
resolution about 18 months after my arrival.  I believe Winlink 2000 
is the first operating mode to use this modulation system.

With the withdrawal of the ARRL's regulation by bandwidth proposal 
this past February, this situation will get worse.  The only real 
impediment to further Winlink 2000 use is the very high cost of the 
proprietary modem.  Eventually, this cost will come down.  I'm not 
opposed to any operating mode including Winlink 2000.  But I'm 
opposed to it's use in our narrow-band sub-bands.
Under our current Part 97 Regulations, it is legal there.

I seriously doubt if another regulation by bandwidth proposal will be put
forth by the ARRL board in the near future.  We failed to educate the 
U.S. amateur radio community about the history of and rationale for 
our first proposal, and to make sure nearly everyone understood how 
it would work.  The ARRL board of directors has to do it's homework 
if we want to have regulation by bandwidth accepted by the U.S. 
amateur radio community.

I support amateur radio HF regulation by bandwidth.  However, I will 
not support an effort to rush another proposal to the FCC.  I have no idea 
how
long this educational process will take.  But I currently believe 
anything shorter than two years from 1 JAN 2008 will fail.

[AMRadio] FS: Sprague TO-6 Cap Tester: $100 Shipped

2007-11-09 Thread Don Merz
For Sale: The last and best of the Sprague TO-line of capacitor testers. This 
one looks great and works well. The cap value dial control must be a bit dirty 
because the eye tube jumps a bit when the dial is turned. But this does not 
affect the accurate operation of this unit at all. Bright eye tube. Great for 
reforming caps--just hook up the cap, and increase the voltage while watching 
the current meter, keeping it under 1ma until full working voltage is reached 
or exceeded. The leather handle is falling apart--otherwise this has great 
cosmetics. I think I have the manual. Test leads included. PayPal is best. But 
check or MO also works. $100 shipped to your door.

[AMRadio] Re: ARRL Director explains IARU bandplan to the "ignorant"

2007-11-09 Thread sbjohnston


The "The Radio Handbook for Amateurs and Experimenters", 1936 edition, 
("West Coast Handbook") contains a paragraph that seems to speak to the 
difficulties we are having with the ARRL of late...  note the "loyalty" 
part.


- - - - - - - -
 Beginning with theory, only such matter is treated
as will be of practical use. No space is wasted on
matters of communication, traffic handling or to the
preaching of gospels of loyalty, to whomsoever the
loyalty is to be pledged, for the publishers of this
book are of another belief. They hold that it is the
solemn duty of a publisher to be loyal to his reader,
not for the reader to be loyal to the publisher.
- - - - - - - -

Interesting...

Hey guys,

Please replies to for sale or wanted ads, etc. via private email.
There is no need to send these transactions to the entire email list.
See:
List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html

It is perfectly fine to post your FOR SALE ads or WANTED ads to the list,
but please request that interested parties contact you privately.

Embed your email address in all emails regarding for sale, or wanted items
so that "reply-to" does not include the list.

Thanks,
