==> ARRL DELTA DIVISION GETS NEW LEADERSHIP; GREAT LAKES DIVISION
REMAINS UNCHANGED

On Friday, November 21, ARRL staff members started opening ballots for
the Director and Vice Director races in the Delta Division and the Vice
Director race in the Great Lakes Division. ARRL Chief Financial Officer
Barry Shelley, N1VXY; Dakota Division Director Jay Bellows, W0QB;
Southeastern Division Director Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, and a representative
from an independent auditor looked on; Sarratt is also a member of the
League's Ethics and Elections Committee. After all the ballots were
counted, the Delta Division gained a new Director and Vice Director,
while hams in the Great Lakes Division voted to keep their Vice
Director. The leadership team in the Atlantic, Dakota and Midwest
Divisions will remain the same. Terms for Directors and Vice Directors
begin at noon on January 1, 2009 and run for three years.

The following ran unopposed and were declared the winner of their
elections by the League's Ethics and Elections Committee: Atlantic
Division Director Bill Edgar, N3LLR, and Vice Director Tom Abernethy,
W3TOM; Dakota Division Director Jay Bellows, K0QB, and Vice Director
Greg Widin, K0GW; Midwest Division Director Bruce Frahm, K0BJ, and Vice
Director Cliff Ahrens, K0CA; and Great Lakes Division Director Jim
Weaver, K8JE. The rules state that if a candidate is running unopposed,
he or she shall be declared the winner without balloting.

Incumbent ARRL Delta Division Director -- Henry Leggette, WD4Q, of
Memphis, Tennessee -- did not seek re-election this term. Two
candidates, current Vice Director Karl Bullock, WA5TMC, of Ripley,
Mississippi, and former Louisiana Section Manager Mickey Cox, K5MC, of
West Monroe, were nominated for this seat. With 1148 votes, Cox was
declared the new Delta Division Director; Bullock received 993 votes.

With Bullock seeking the Director position, this left the Vice Director
position open, with Ariel Elam, K4AAL, of Antioch, Tennessee, and
Arkansas Section Manager David Norris, K5UZ, of Batesville, in the hunt
for this post. Norris won the seat with 1399 votes, Elam received 746
votes.

Three people were nominated for the position of Vice Director in the
Great Lakes Division: Incumbent Gary Johnston, KI4LA, of Edgewood,
Kentucky; former Kentucky Section Manager John Meyers, NB4K, of Butler,
and Michigan Section Affiliated Club Coordinator Daniel Romanchik,
KB6NU, of Ann Arbor. Johnston will keep his seat, as he garnered 1218
votes in a very close race. Myers received 1205 votes and Romanchik
received 1155 votes.

"I'm happy to be a part of this election process," said Sarratt. "I
would like to thank everyone for running and also thank the ARRL members
in the Delta and Great Lakes Division who participated. The big turnout
shows the high level of interest our members have in Amateur Radio."

"It is great to see such an interest on the part of members in this
election," Bellows said. "These close races do indeed show that every
vote counts and how very important it is to participate."

The next scheduled Division elections are next fall for the Central,
Hudson, New England, Northwestern and Roanoke ARRL Divisions. In
accordance with League's Bylaws <http://www.arrl.org/aabl.html>, ballots
will be counted on November 20, 2009.

==> SECTION MANAGER ELECTION RESULTS ANNOUNCED

There were nine Section Manager races this fall, four of which saw no
opposition. Election ballots were counted and verified on Tuesday,
November 18 at ARRL Headquarters for the remaining five races. Terms of
office for these new Section Managers will begin on January 1, 2009.

In Nebraska, Art Zygielbaum, K0AIZ, defeated two other candidates in a
very close race, receiving 124 votes. Opponents Jeff Beiermann, WB0M, of
Omaha, received 118 votes while incumbent Section Manager Matthew
Anderson, KA0BOJ, of Ashland, received 74 votes. Zygielbaum, who lives
in Lincoln, was first licensed in 1961; he is presently vice president
of the Lincoln Amateur Radio Club. He is active in emergency and public
service communications, contesting, DXing, satellite, digital modes and
QRP operation.

Incumbent New York City/Long Island Section Manager Tom Carrubba, KA2D,
of West Babylon, decided not to run for another term, so two other hams
stepped up to run for the position: Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, of Brooklyn,
and Robert Biamonte, WB2OMW, of Levittown. Lisenco was declared the
winner with 468 votes; Biamonte received 134 votes. Lisenco presently
serves as Assistant Section Manager and Section Emergency Coordinator.
Prior to those appointments, he was the District Emergency Coordinator
for New York City. Lisenco is an avid DXer and contester and has
previously served as vice president of the Kings County Radio Club.

In the Eastern Massachusetts election, Mike Neilsen, W1MPN, of Hudson,
defeated incumbent Section Manager Art Greenberg, K1GBX, of Georgetown.
Neilsen received 660 votes to Greenberg's 224. Neilsen served as Eastern
Massachusetts Section Manager from January 2005-December 2006. Just
prior to his first term as Section Manager, he served as the Section
Emergency Coordinator for the Section from September 2001-January 2005.

Section Manager of the Southern New Jersey Section since 1997, Jean
Priestley, KA2YKN, of Pennsauken, decided not to run for another term of
office. George Strayline, N3GZ, of Villas, and Rick Stoneking, W2RDS, of
Lumberton, sought the post. With 236 votes, Strayline was declared the
winner; Stoneking received 209 votes. Strayline is a founding member of
the Jersey Cape D-Star User Group (JCDUG). He is also a member of the
Cape May County Amateur Radio Club and an active ARRL Accredited
Volunteer Examiner and Official Observer. He enjoys high speed CW, DX
and home brewing.

Indiana will also have a new Section Manager starting in January, since
incumbent Section Manager Jim Sellers, K9ZBM, of Middlebury, decided not
to run for another term. Sellers has served as Section Manager since
July 2002. Raymond Andrews, K9DUR, of West Terre Haute, and John
Poindexter, W3ML, of Knox, were candidates for the open seat. Andrews
received 531 votes and Poindexter received 261 votes.

After ballots had already been mailed out to ARRL members in the Indiana
Section, Andrews wrote to ARRL Headquarters withdrawing his candidacy
due to health concerns. As such, the Section Manager's position for the
new term starting in January was considered vacant because Andrews won
the majority of votes.

According to the Rules and Regulations of the Field Organization,
vacancies in the office of Section Manager shall be filled by
appointment by the ARRL Membership and Volunteer Programs Manager, in
consultation with the respective Section's Director. After ARRL MVP
Manager Dave Patton, NN1N, consulted with ARRL Central Division Director
Dick Isely, W9GIG, John Poindexter, W3ML, was appointed Indiana Section
Manager with a term to begin January 1, 2009. Poindexter's term of
office will be for 18 months -- instead of two years -- because this new
term of office in Indiana had to be resolicited.

Poindexter has been a radio amateur since 1979 and has held appointments
as an Assistant Emergency Coordinator and has served as president of the
Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Club and the Starke County Amateur Radio
Club. He is active in public service communications, DXing and
contesting.

The following incumbent ARRL Section Managers did not face opposition
and were declared elected for their next terms of office starting
January 1, 2009: Dale Bagley, K0KY (Missouri); Jim Boehner, N2ZZ (South
Carolina); Dee Turner, N4GD (West Central Florida), and John Rodgers,
N3MSE (Western Pennsylvania).

Since there were no Section Manager nominations received for the next
term of office in Northern New York, nominations will be resolicited in
the January 2009 issue of QST.

==> WEATHER SPOTTERS RECEIVE AWARD AS SEVERE WEATHER COMES CALLING

On November 15, Amateur Radio operators who serve the National Weather
Service in Taunton, Massachusetts received an award from the NWS weather
forecasters citing excellence in service and "tireless service" to the
NWS and to the people of Southern New England. Presented at a SKYWARN
coordinators meeting, the award was accepted by Rob Macedo, KD1CY, on
behalf of the more than 24 hams present. Macedo is the ARES SKYWARN
Coordinator for the NWS's Taunton office and is the ARRL Eastern
Massachusetts Section Emergency Coordinator.

The award reads: "Presented to NWS-Taunton Amateur Radio Team WX1BOX.
With sincere appreciation for your long-standing commitment to the
National Weather Service and the people of southern New England and with
particular recognition for your tireless support during the unusual 2008
severe weather season."

Members of the Taunton SKYWARN Amateur Radio Club, WX1BOX, assist
forecasters at the Taunton office. This office serves portions of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. NWS Taunton
forecasters Bob Thompson, Glenn Field, Bill Babcock and Eleanor
Vallier-Talbot presented the award to the group.

"Today was a special meeting," Macedo said. "I wasn't expecting the
trophy that's sitting on top of the power supply here at the station. I
was surprised. Very well done, I must say. It is a tribute to the team
effort exhibited by Amateur Radio operators and SKYWARN spotters across
the four-state region."

Macedo said that the award meant "even more to the Amateur Radio team
since it was funded not by NOAA, but rather by the forecasters at the
station. They paid for it out of their own pockets."

According to Macedo, the 2008 summer severe weather season in Southern
New England featured 974 local storm reports. Of those, 917 -- or 94
percent -- came from the Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotter Network. There
were a total of 50 SKYWARN activations recorded over the summer of 2008.
"This has been the most active year in the 13 years I've been involved
in the SKYWARN program. We hope next year will be calmer in terms of
severe weather," Macedo said.

Later that evening, the NWS posted a tornado watch for much of Southern
New England, lasting until 2 AM Sunday. Strong winds ahead of a cold
front resulted in pockets of tree and power line damage across
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Some minor structural
damage was also reported, as wind gusts of 50-70 MPH were reported; a
wind gust of 67 MPH was recorded at the Blue Hill Observatory in Milton,
Massachusetts.

"While the line of severe thunderstorms that were capable of damaging
winds and the possibility of tornadoes fell apart as it moved toward the
region, strong straightline winds out ahead of the storm were the story
of the event. This resulted in pockets of wind damage across the region,
including several reports of trees falling on cars and homes. A couple
of weakened roofs on old structures were blown off due to the strong
winds in Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island," Macedo
said. "Somehow, given such an active year in 2008 for severe weather, it
is no surprise that we had a wind damage event on the evening of our
coordinators' meeting. We hope this is the end of the active stretch."

==> LEONARD AWARD NOMINATIONS DUE DECEMBER 8

Here's your chance to say "thank you" to the reporter who released the
best stories about Amateur Radio between December 3, 2007 and December
8, 2008 -- nominate them for the Leonard Award! This annual ARRL award
honors a professional journalist whose outstanding coverage in TV,
radio, print or multimedia best reflects the enjoyment, importance and
public service value of Amateur Radio.

Nominations are judged by members of the League's PR Committee; the
final decision is made during the ARRL Board meeting in January. The
winner receives an engraved plaque and a cash award of $500. The Leonard
Award was created as a tribute to the late CBS News President Bill
Leonard, W2SKE. He was an avid Amateur Radio operator, and most active
on the air during the 1960s and 1970s.

The recipient will receive the award based on a print story, photo
essay, audio or video (including broadcast) or multimedia presentation
that covers the topic of Amateur Radio. The scope of the work nominated
may be a single story or series in a commercially published book, a
recognized general-circulation (non-trade) daily or weekly newspaper, a
general or special-interest magazine (except publications predominantly
about Amateur Radio), a commercial or public radio or television
broadcast, a Web site operated by a generally recognized journalistic
organization (such as a newspaper, magazine, broadcast station or
network) or multimedia format (a CD-ROM, for example). The story must be
truthful, clear and accurate, reflecting high journalistic standards.

Only one submission per entrant will be accepted; a group award will
count as a single entry. Nomination packets must include a complete
application plus appropriate work sample:
* Print article: Submit original tear sheets plus one photocopy on 8.5 x
11 inch paper. If there are multiple pages, write the author's name on
the back of each sheet.
* Radio: Submit one copy of script on 8.5 x 11 paper plus one standard
audio CD or MP3 file.
* Television: Submit one copy of script on 8.5 x 11 paper plus one DVD
or MP4 file.
* Multimedia: Submit a photocopy of each screen or Web page and/or CD
ROM or DVD diskette(s) as appropriate.

For more information, please see page 62 of the November 2008 issue of
QST or contact ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts,
W1AGP <w1agp@arrl.org>. Pitts advises that some news organizations
prohibit journalists from entering contests that offer monetary awards,
so check with your potential nominee ahead of time.

==> NEW BASIC ANTENNA BOOK AVAILABLE FROM ARRL

For something that is often so simple to make, an antenna is remarkably
difficult for many people to understand. The antenna is one of your
shack's most important elements and can make your radio system a
success. Now available from ARRL, "Basic Antennas: Understanding
Practical Antennas and Design" <http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9994>
is a comprehensive introduction to antennas -- basic concepts, practical
designs and details of easy-to-build antennas. You'll learn how to make
antennas that really work. This book will provide a foundation in
antenna theory and design necessary for anyone undertaking more advanced
topics and projects such as those presented in "The ARRL Antenna Book"
<http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9876>.

Written by ARRL Technical Editor Joel Hallas, W1ZR, this new book
includes an introduction to antennas, as well as sections on dipole
antennas, antenna impedance, transmission lines, practical two element
arrays, wideband and multiband antennas, monopole antennas, reflector
antennas, Yagis for HF and VHF loop antennas, antennas for microwave
applications, vehicle antennas, antenna measurements and an introduction
to antenna modeling

"Most people involved in the radio arts come from a background in the
circuitry required to define radio equipment," Hallas said, "and many
have difficulty making the transition to the electromagnetic side of
radio. 'Basic Antennas' is intended to assist those with a basic
knowledge of radio technology in making that important leap from the
circuit domain to the antenna domain." Hallas said the technology
presented in the book is developed using the "minimum of mathematical
concepts to allow introduction of basic principles in an easy to read
manner." Upon completion of this book, readers should have enough
understanding of the basic principles of antenna systems to be able to
make decisions about selecting antennas for their applications or using
more advanced antenna materials properly.

Joel Hallas, W1ZR, earned his BS and MS degrees in electrical
engineering. He has been a radar and telecommunications systems
engineer, engineering manager, telecommunications executive and college
teacher. Now QST Technical Editor, he is also the author of "Basic Radio
-- Understanding the Key Building Blocks"
<http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9558>.

==> GLOBAL EMERGENCY NETWORK MARKS RECORD

The Global ALE High Frequency Network (HFN) <http://hflink.net/> -- an
international Amateur Radio Service organization of ham operators
dedicated to emergency/relief radio communications -- has become the
first network to operate continuously for more than 500 days on all
international Amateur Radio shortwave bands simultaneously.

According to HFN International ALE Coordinator Bonnie Crystal, KQ6XA,
the main purpose of the Network is to provide efficient emergency and
disaster relief communications to remote areas of the world. "Beginning
with a core group of six North American radio operators in June 2007,
HFN rapidly expanded to cover large areas of the planet with 24/7
digital communications," she said."HFN was designed to be an open
framework for global Amateur Radio emergency services to interoperate on
HF using the Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) system."
<http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/ale.html>

Relying on ionospheric radio communications, interconnected HFN base
stations scan the radio bands every 10 seconds, from 3.5 MHz-28.0 MHz.
Through this Net, Crystal said, ham operators stay connected with each
other at all hours of the day or night in any mode of operation, and can
send Internet e-mail or cell phone mobile text messages from the field.

==>SOLAR UPDATE

Tad "The Sun and moon get crossed, but they never touch" Cook, K7RA,
this week reports: The latest sunspot appearance lasted eight days; the
spot passed from view after Monday, November 17. Geomagnetic indices
have remained nice and quiet. If you look here for recent geomagnetic
data <http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/quar_DGD.txt>, you will
notice certain times which were extremely quiet with many zeroes in the
K index. One of those periods is the days after November 16. You won't
see quiet conditions like this once we get greater solar activity. The
next time we see unsettled geomagnetic conditions should be November 25.
Sunspot numbers for November 13-19 were 16, 12, 11, 11, 11, 0 and 0 with
a mean of 8.7. The 10.7 cm flux was 69.1, 68.3, 68.2, 67.7, 67.7, 69.8
and 69.4 with a mean of 68.6. The estimated planetary A indices were 1,
1, 6, 8, 2, 1 and 1 with a mean of 2.9. The estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 2, 1, 3, 7, 2, 0 and 1 with a mean of 2.3. For more

November 28. ARRL Headquarters will reopen Monday, December 1 at 8 AM
Eastern Standard Time. We wish everyone a safe and bountiful
Thanksgiving holiday.

* Canadian Amateurs Receive Limited 500 kHz Privileges: On November 10,
Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) announced that Industry Canada, which
regulates Amateur Radio in that country, has accepted an RAC proposal
for selected Canadian radio amateurs to operate in the vicinity of 500
kHz. The proposal states that RAC would recommend amateurs who would be
licensed to operate in the 504-509 kHz band with a maximum power of 20 W
ERP and bandwidth up to 1 kHz. Stations operating in this band would be
technically operating under Special Developmental Licenses, although
they would all be radio amateurs. Distinct call signs would be used and
the licenses would be renewable on an annual basis, subject to the
amateur demonstrating the research he has carried out. According to the
RAC, these amateur operations would support Canada's efforts to place a
proposal on the agenda of the 2011 World Radio Conference (WRC-11),
which, if adopted, would create an amateur allocation in the 600 meter
band. The US, under the auspices of the ARRL's 500 kHz Experimental
Station, WD2XSH, is also conducting research in this band. Canada is the
eighth country to do experimentation on 55 kHz; along with the US and
Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic, the Netherlands
and Romania are also participating. More information on the Canadian
proposal will be posted to the RAC Web site as it becomes available.

* Tom Jednacz, W7QF (SK): Thomas C. Jednacz, W7QF, of Dunnellon,
Florida, passed away November 17 from complications from lupus. He was
68. An ARRL member and an avid DXer and contester, Jednacz founded the
Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLS) with Jim Weidner, K2JXW, in 2000
<http://www.arlhs.com/>. The purposes of the ARLHS are to promote public
awareness of ham radio and lighthouses, to preserve lights that are in
danger of extinction and to pay tribute to the role that hams and
lighthouse keepers have played in contributing to maritime safety.
Professionally, Jednacz was a vice president of an engineering division
at Philips Electronics and a member of IEEE. While at Philips, he was on
a team credited with the invention of a building management system
utilizing packet hopping communication.
