artcile about ham radio vs. other technologies
by Ken Alker 06 Apr '22

Although this is about short wave radio during war, I found this to be a good layman's testimonial regarding ham radio vs. other technologies during a time of disaster. <https://theconversation.com/shortwave-radio-in-ukraine-why-revisiting-old-s…>

New FCC Fee Will Not Apply License Upgrades
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 05 Apr '22

FYI, new license fee will not apply to license upgrades. LCM Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM Director at Large | K6TZ Trustee Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club Santa Barbara Wireless Foundation a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation www.levimaaia.com | www.k6lcm.com +1.805.604.5384 On April 5, 2022 at 11:51:07, ARRL Web site (memberlist(a)arrl.org) wrote: SB QST @ ARL $ARLB011 ARLB011 New FCC Application Fee Will Not Apply to Amateur Radio License Upgrades ZCZC AG11 QST de W1AW ARRL Bulletin 11 ARLB011 From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT April 5, 2022 To all radio amateurs SB QST ARL ARLB011 ARLB011 New FCC Application Fee Will Not Apply to Amateur Radio License Upgrades The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff has clarified in response to an ARRL request that the new $35 application fee will not apply to most license modifications, including those to upgrade amateur radio licensee's operator class and changes to club station trustees. The FCC staff explained that the new fees will apply only to applications for a new license, renewal, rule waiver, or a new vanity call sign. As previously announced, the new fees take effect on April 19, 2022. "We are pleased that the FCC will not charge licensees the FCC application fee for license upgrade applications," said ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM. "While applicants for a new license will need to pay the $35 FCC application fee, there will be no FCC charge for future upgrades and administrative updates, such as a change of mailing or email address. Most current licensees, therefore, will not be charged the new FCC application fee until they renew their license or apply for a new vanity call sign." ARRL previously reported that the new $35 application fee for amateur radio licenses will become effective on April 19, 2022. Further information and instructions about the FCC Application Fee are available from the ARRL VEC page at, https://www.arrl.org/fcc-application-fee . NNNN /EX

Kaleidoscope Volunteer Needed
by Marvin Johnston 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Kaleidoscope is a girl scout event that will be held at Live Oak Campground on Saturday, April 30. They are expecting about 500 or so girls with a variety of activities similar to a Boy Scout Camporee. The event starts at 9:00AM and finishes about 5:00PM with lunch included. We should probably be there sometime around 8:30AM to get setup, etc. Right now, I have three others besides myself and would like one more person. We are using electronic scoring (epunch) and that part takes one person and is covered between a friend of mine from LAOC and myself. The parts that need to be manned are Training/Start/Finish and the Foxoring course. The part we are helping with is putting on a couple of short orienteering courses, and optionally a short foxoring course. Girls who finish the orienteering course early can opt to try out the foxoring course. Foxoring is basically an 80M event using 10 mW transmitters. The idea is to orienteering to near the transmitters using orienteering techniques, and then find the 80M transmitter using standard 80M RDF techniques. Let me know if you are interested as the names needed to be submitted last week :) for background checks and let the Girl Scouts know who will be there. Email is the best way to contact me, marvin(a)west.net, although telephone also works 805-687-8881. Thanks! Marvin, KE6HTS
