"Amateur Radio Parity Act" Campaign Will Resume in New Congress
Largely as the result of a grassroots campaign, "The Amateur Radio
Parity Act of 2014" (H.R. 4969) attracted the support of 69 members of
the US House of Representatives in addition to that of its sponsor,
Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). While the just-adjourned 113th Congress did
not enact the bill, the effort to gain passage of the legislation will
begin anew when the 114th Congress convenes in January. Introduced
with bipartisan support last June, H.R. 4969 called on the FCC to
apply the "reasonable accommodation" three-part test of the PRB-1
federal pre-emption policy to private land-use restrictions regarding
antennas. The limited PRB-1 pre-emption currently applies only to
state and municipal land-use ordinances. The FCC has indicated its
reluctance to provide the same legal protections from private land-use
agreements -- often called covenants, conditions, and restrictions
(CC&Rs) -- without direction from Congress. ARRL Regulatory
Information Manager Dan Henderson, N1ND, stressed this week that the
fight is not over.
"While we are disappointed that the bill did not make it through the
process during the session, the effort was extremely energized by the
efforts of thousands of ARRL members who participated in our
grassroots lobbying effort," Henderson said. "In just 6 short months
we gained tremendous traction for the Amateur Radio Parity Act."
Henderson explained that sometime after the new Congress is called
into session in January, a new "Amateur Radio Parity Act" bill with a
new number will be introduced into the US House. "Once this happens,
the ARRL will gear up for a fresh effort to push this legislation
forward," he added.
ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ.
In a note to ARRL Section Managers this week, ARRL CEO David Sumner,
K1ZZ, thanked Section leaders and Field Organization volunteers on
behalf of the ARRL Board of Directors and Headquarters staff for their
help in garnering legislative support for H.R. 4969. "We had hoped to
gain 30 co-sponsors for the bill and ultimately ended up with 69, plus
the sponsor," Sumner noted. "The overwhelming majority of these 70
supporters are returning in January, which gives us a good base on
which to grow additional support."
Sumner said the objective for 2015 is to continue the momentum,
gathering enough support to move the bill through the Energy and
Commerce Committee. "We have received expressions of interest from the
Senate side and are hoping to have the bill introduced there as well,"
he added.
Henderson said the bill would not have attained its current level of
support in the US House without the thousands of letters and phone
calls made by ARRL members to their congressional representatives.
"The success of this crucial issue relies on the efforts of all radio
amateurs and ARRL members," he said. "We know you will step forward in
the new year, when we renew our efforts on Capitol Hill."
The ARRL H.R. 4969 web page provides additional information.
ARRL's Last "Red Badges on the Air Day" is December 31!
The last day of 2014 (UTC) will be your final opportunity to rack up
those remaining ARRL Centennial QSO Party points -- before you
celebrate the arrival of the new year. To help with that goal, the
League is sponsoring its final "Red Badges on the Air Day" on
Wednesday, December 31. That's when those high-value red ARRL
identification badge bearers will be out in force on the bands.
Work ARRL President Kay Craigie for an easy 300 Centennial QSO Party
points!
ARRL officers, elected officials such as Director or Section Manager,
as well as Headquarters staffers and volunteers, and other members of
the ARRL family are expected to be on the air for this event. Contacts
with red badge wearers are worth as much as 300 points per contact for
working ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN. Many of the 200 or so
holders of red badges will be on the air on December 31, along with
other ARRL appointees, VEs, and members. Maxim Society members are
worth 50 points.
These events are considered activity days, not contests, and operation
is permitted on all bands. Participants can call "CQ ARRL Centennial
QSO Party" on phone or "CQ CENT" on CW or digital modes. While the
focus is to encourage ARRL red badge holders to hand out Centennial
QSO Party points, all activity is welcome, regardless of point value.
Many stations will try to keep their contacts short; the minimum
exchange is a signal report, and any ARRL office or member
abbreviation is optional.
ARRL members are worth at least one point in the Centennial QSO Party.
Participants get credit for each band/mode contact, regardless of
point value. ARRL Centennial QSO Party participants can use the leader
board to determine how many points they have accumulated.
Participants will need 1000 points to qualify for a first-level
certificate, 3000 points for a second-level certificate, 7500 points
for a third-level certificate, and 15,000 points for a top-level award
certificate. Read more.
Boy Scouts Recognize ARRL Amateur Radio Service to Scouting Award
The Boy Scouts of America's National Awards and Recognition Committee
has officially recognized the ARRL "Amateur Radio Service to Scouting
Award" as part of its family of Community Organization awards. The
ARRL award recognizes actively involved Scouting leaders who make a
significant contribution to providing Scouts with a memorable and
valuable Amateur Radio experience. This program allows Scouting
leaders to wear the Community Organization Award square knot on their
uniform, in recognition of their service within their community
organization.
"This is yet another step in ARRL-BSA cooperation, one that will
recognize the Scouting leaders who have worked tirelessly to introduce
the science, technology, fun, and excitement of Amateur Radio to the
youth involved in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing," the Boy
Scouts organization said in announcing its formal recognition of the
League award.
This award was officially established through a resolution adopted by
the ARRL Board at its 2013 Annual Meeting. It builds on the
long-standing relationship between the BSA and ARRL, which began with
the development of the Wireless Merit Badge in 1918 (now called the
Radio Merit Badge). This relationship was formally recognized through
a 2011 Memorandum of Understanding (view a video of the signing).
Nominations for the Amateur Radio Service to Scouting Award are made
through the appropriate ARRL Section Manager. Read more.
Cross-Borders ARES Exercise Tests Northeast Communication Capabilities
Maine ARES® Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC) Phil Duggan, N1EP,
wants to expand Amateur Radio's reach during emergencies in the
Northeast. To that end, he convened a 40 meter "cross-borders" net on
Saturday morning, December 13, on 7262 kHz to test the communication
paths for that band and time for operators in Maine, New Hampshire,
and the bordering Canadian provinces. The exercise was spurred by
Maine Emergency Management Agency Communications Manager Steve
Mallory's suggestion that Maine hams should put extra effort into
training and exercising with neighboring states and provinces, since
disasters do not recognize borders.
"The exercise brought together Amateur Radio operators from the
bordering states and provinces in a collaborative effort that will
continue in the coming months, using a variety of bands and modes,"
Duggan told ARRL. He said the net attracted 33 check-ins from New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
and Vermont. Several state and provincial ARES members and emergency
coordinators participated, including New Hampshire SEC Wayne Santos,
N1CKM.
"Most signals were easily copied during the net by all," Duggan
recounted. "One surprising outcome for some was the fact that a couple
of the stations that had the strongest signals were using modest power
-- 25 to 40 W -- and their antennas were verticals." Duggan said the
exercise expanded upon Maine ARES and New Hampshire ARES Simulated
Emergency Tests held earlier this fall, when members of both states'
teams supported each other's SETs.
"In recent years there have been few such exercises in the region
[and] most Maine emergency communication drills have been limited to
VHF or 75 meter phone," Duggan said. "As Maine SEC, in addition to
voice modes, I am encouraging the use of more Amateur Radio assets in
our training activities, including Narrow Band Emergency Messaging
System (NBEMS), digital, good old-fashioned CW, and working with our
neighbors."
Duggan plans similar events in the future, most likely on a quarterly
basis. He encouraged stations in all six New England states, as well
as in the Maritime provinces and Quebec, to join in. Read more. --

Pennsylvania and Iowa Will Host Final W1AW Centennial Operations
The ARRL Centennial W1AW portable operations taking place throughout
2014 from each of the 50 states are now in Maryland, Hawaii, and
Georgia. They will transition at 0000 UTC on Wednesday, December 24
(the evening of December 23 in US time zones), to Pennsylvania
(W1AW/3) and Iowa (W1AW/0). These will be the last W1AW portable
activations of the ARRL Centennial Year. During 2014, W1AW has visited
all 50 states at least twice, as well as some US territories.
The ARRL Centennial QSO Party is open to all. Working W1AW/x from each
state is worth 5 points per mode/contact, even when working the same
state during its second week of activity. ARRL members, appoinip and cultural tolerance."
"We hope to make a lot of people happy," team member Luc Kerkhofs,
ON4IA, said.
A dedicated 160 meter station will be on the air starting at local
sunrise and sunset for the first two nights, in order to work as many
Europeans as possible and to check when signals peak to North America.
The planned transmitting antenna is a 26-meter (85.3 feet) vertical
with 50 quarter-wave radials. Kerkhofs said the operators will attempt
to be fair in giving all continents a crack at working Iran on 160.
After that, the operators will concentrate on listening for North
American stations, although they concede that paths to North America
on Top Band will be dicey and of short duration.
Since word first spread of the planned DXpedition, many groups and
individuals have offered support, including the Northern California DX
Foundation. The organizers say that preparations are "progressing
smoothly and according to plan." M0URX will be the QSL manager. The
EP6T log will be uploaded to Logbook of The World (LoTW) once the
DXpedition has concluded. Read more.
Centenarian ARRL Member Says Congressional Gold Medal for CAP Was
Overdue
A 100-year-old ARRL member from North Carolina was among those honored
on December 10 when the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) received a
Congressional Gold Medal for its World War II service, and, for Weldon
Fields, W4AJT, of Greensboro, the recognition was long overdue.
Lt Col Weldon Fields, second from right, enjoys a moment with fellow
CAP members (L-R) Sgts Edsel B. RivenBark, Bill G. Haire, Tyler B.
Dunlap Jr, and Carl E. Lucas. Capt Edwin T. Howard is on the right.

in Suffolk, Virginia. [Photo courtesy of CAP via the North Carolina
Archives]
During the war, Fields volunteered to become a member of a CAP
contingent at Base 16, near Manteo, on North Carolina's Outer Banks.
CAP pilots were carrying out anti-submarine missions to thwart
submarine attacks off the US East Coast, and volunteers like Fields
were needed to provide aircraft-to-ground radio communication.
According to CAP, Fields, who became a CAP lieutenant colonel, was
responsible for maintaining communication from the base to the planes.
He also contributed his own Amateur Radio gear to the base, back in an
era when equipment was anything but small and lightweight.
"I took my radio down there, and lo and behold, the stairs to the
second floor [where the radios were located] were about as wide as my
radio," Fields recalled. "We got it up there, and it worked okay, but
it was kind of a chore." CAP observer planes flew each day from
sunrise to sunset, Fields recalled, keeping the radio operators busy
modifying and repairing aircraft radios. While his primary work was as
a communications officer, Fields also flew some 200 to 300 hours as a
mission observer.
"The wartime communications systems and procedures put in place by Col
Fields and his peers laid the foundation for what is now a
world-class, nationwide communications system operated by Civil Air
Patrol, said CAP Col David Crawford, the North Carolina Wing
commander.
"I'm proud to say that from the day we sent the first flight out,
there was not another sinking of our boats or any kind of ship,"
Fields said. Once the German submariners learned of the CAP air
patrols, they were afraid to surface.
Forty-six founding CAP members were on hand in Washington, DC, for the
presentation, representing the more than 200,000 CAP volunteers during
World War II.

Contesting Hall of Famer Carl D. Cook, AI6V/P49V, SK
Well-known Contester, DXer, and DXpeditioner Carl Cook, AI6V/P49V
(ex-WA6JUD), of Las Vegas, Nevada, died December 15. An ARRL Life
Member, he was 74. Despite getting a rather late start, Cook went on
to enjoy considerable success in Amateur Radio, and even casual DX
contesters had P49V in their logs.
Carl Cook, AI6V/P49V, in 2007.
On his QRZ.com web page, Cook recounted how he got into Amateur Radio
in the 1970s, when he was 38, after installing an HF radio on his
boat. He began listening on VHF, discovered VHF/UHF contesting, and
got his Technician license. After upgrading to General in 1975, he
enjoyed ARRL November Sweepstakes with the Northern California Contest
Club, for which he also served a term as president.
In time Cook developed into a world-class contester, and his
operations from Aruba put Zone 9 into many logbooks. He said the
highlight of his years in Amateur Radio was being named to the CQ
Contest Hall of Fame in 1997. Cook was on the DXCC Honor Roll and held
5-Band DXCC. Read more. -- Thanks to John Bayne, KK9A/P40A, and

Past Northern Florida Section Manager Royal V. Mackey, N4ADI, SK
Past ARRL Northern Florida Section Manager Royal V. "Roy" Mackey,
Roy Mackey, N4ADI.
N4ADI, of Winter Park, Florida, died December 5. He was 96 and had not
been active as a radio amateur for several years. Mackey served as
Northern Florida Section Manager from 1986 until 1990 and as a
Northern Florida Assistant Section Manager from 1990 until 1997.
Mackey was instrumental in launching the Volunteer Examiner program in
Central Florida. He was a member of the Quarter Century Wireless
Association (QCWA).
"Roy's passing marks another of the Greatest Generation leaving our
midst," said Paul Blumhardt, K5RT, a friend who got to know Mackey and
his late wife Carolyn when he was a teenager. "Roy touched the lives
of many in our Amateur Radio community, and he will be missed." Read

A Century of Amateur Radio and the ARRL
In July 2001, the ARRL petitioned the FCC to allocate 5.250 to 5.400
MHz to Amateur Radio.
At its July 2001 meeting, the ARRL Board of Directors endorsed the
Logbook of The World (LoTW) concept, and Headquarters staffers began
the massive push to make LoTW a reality.
In September 2001, the ARRL presented an Amateur Radio demonstration
and tutorial to FCC commissioners and staff members. ARRL President
Jim Haynie, W5JBP, headed the ARRL contingent, and the show-and-tell
was deemed a great success.
Amateur Radio mobilized and provided communication support following
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. The following month, the FCC established a Homeland
Security Panel to plan for restoration of communications links
following terrorist attacks.
In October 2001, a rash of bio-terrorist (anthrax) threats to federal
government facilities caused FCC processing of licensing and other
matters to be significantly delayed.
The FCC announced that all applicants must register for and obtain a
10-digit FCC Registration Number (FRN), in order to do business with
the Commission after December 3, 2001. -- Al Brogdon, W1AB
In Brief...
Kids Day is January 4! The next Kids Day, sponsored by the ARRL and
The Boring (Oregon) Amateur Radio Club, will be Sunday, January 4,
2015, from 1800 to 2400 UTC. This is an excellent opportunity to
showcase Amateur Radio and Amateur Radio satellites to youngsters and
even to hand over the keys so they can get some hands-on experience.
For youngsters, their positive ham radio experience may foster an
interest in getting licensed one day. For veteran radio amateurs, it's
a chance to share their stations and affection for Amateur Radio with
the next generation. Call "CQ Kids Day." The suggested exchange is
name, age, location, and favorite color. There is no limit on
operating time, and stations may work each other more than once if the
operator has changed. Observe third-party traffic restrictions when
making DX contacts. Post stories and photos to the Kids Day Soapbox
page and download a colorful certificate.
ARTSAT2: DESPATCH Satellite is Now FO-81: AMSAT-NA has designated the
ARTSAT2: DESPATCH (DEep SPace Amateur Troubadour's CHallenge)
satellite as Fuji OSCAR 81 or FO-81. OSCAR Number Administrator Bill
Tynan, W3XO, said this week that the spacecraft "appears to have met
all of the requirements for an OSCAR number, including IARU
coordination." Tynan said the "Fuji" designation recognizes "the long
history of contributions the Japanese have made to Amateur Radio
satellites." The second spacecraft in the ARTSAT series, FO-81 went
into space December 3 with the Hayabusa-2 asteroid probe. A primary
mission of DESPATCH is to collect signals from the spacecraft from
around the world and to reconstruct the original data transmitted from
the spacecraft. The satellite's developers are seeking the cooperation
of radio amateurs around the world. A couple of them, Zdenek Samek,
OK1DFC, and Rob Hardenberg, PE1ITR, reported receiving the ARTSAT2:
DESPATCH beacon on December 14 at a distance of 2.91 million miles.
That's "Doctor Bob" to You: Well-known Amateur Radio audio products
manufacturer Bob Heil, K9EID, will receive an honorary doctorate on
December 20 from the University of Missouri-St Louis. The school will
grant Heil, the founder of Heil Sound Ltd, an honorary Doctor of Music
and Technology degree for his contributions to the world of broadcast,
live, and studio sound and to the Amateur Radio industry. Heil will
also speak at the school's winter commencement ceremony. -- Thanks to
