The ARRL West Gulf Division Director, Dr. 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 at 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

ARISSat-1 Should Be On the Air Today 

The ARISSat-1 satellite was supposed to have been turned on
from inside the International Space Station at 0600 UTC today
(April 12), according to AMSAT, and should be in operation
until at least 1030 UTC tomorrow (April 13). As of this time,
however, there is no confirmation that the satellite has been
activated. The activation was scheduled to mark the 50th
anniversary -- today -- of the first manned space flight on
April 12, 1961, by Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.

ARISSat-1 is currently aboard the International Space Station
awaiting a hand-launch in the summer. 

According to the ARISSat-1 website, once the satellite is
activated, "the 145.950 MHz FM downlink will transmit messages
(in) a continuous sequence, one of which is the Gagarin-to-ground
station conversation, famous "Poyekhali" (Let's Go!) from Yuri
Gagarin from Earth orbit.

This downlink frequency will also transmit spoken telemetry,
SSTV images, and pre-recorded messages of goodwill."

	The ZEC is the assistant to the Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC) for emergency
	preparedness.  The ZEC is appointed by the SEC to take care of all matters
	pertaining to emergency communications and the Amateur Radio Emergency
	Service (ARES) on a zone wide basis.  The ZEC post is one of top
	importance in the section and the individual appointed to it should
	devote all possible energy and effort to this one challenging
	organizational program for Amateur Radio.  There is only one ZEC
	appointed in each zone of an ARRL Field Organization.
	
    
	ZEC qualifications and functions:

	
    
	Encourage all groups of community amateurs to establish a local
	emergency organization.
	
	Advise the SEC on all section emergency policy and planning, including
	the development of a zone emergency communications plan.
	
	Cooperate and coordinate with the Section Traffic Manager so that
	emergency nets and traffic nets in the section present a united public
	service front, particularly in the proper routing of Welfare traffic in
	emergency situations.  Cooperation and coordination should also be
	maintained with other section leadership officials as appropriate,
	particularly with the State Government Liaison and Public Information
	Coordinator.
	
	Recommend candidates for Emergency Coordinator and District Emergency
	Coordinator appointments (and cancellations) to the SEC.  At the
	SEC's discretion, the ZEC may be directly in charge of making (and
	canceling) such appointments.
	
	Promote ARES membership drives, meetings, activities, tests, procedures,
	etc., at the section level.
	
	Collect and consolidate Emergency Coordinator (and/or District Emergency
	Coordinator) monthly reports and submit monthly progress summaries to
	the SEC and ARRL Headquarters.  This includes the timely reporting of
	emergency and public safety communications rendered in the section for
	inclusion in QST.
	
	Maintain contact with other communication services and serve as liaison
	at the section level with all agencies served in the public interest,
	particularly in connection with state and local government, civil
	preparedness, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Red Cross, Salvation
	Army, the National Weather Service, and so on.  Such contact is
	maintained in cooperation with the State Government Liaison.
	
	Zone Emergency Coordinators are encouraged to earn certification
	from the ARRL "Intro to EmComm, EC-001" Course
	(See ARRL for details)

	FEMA training.  All existing ARES members must complete this training
	before 12/1/2007.  All new applicants have one year from the time of
	application to become part of ARES Oklahoma to complete this training.
	


	Recruitment of new hams and League members is an integral part of the
	job of every League appointee.  Appointees should take advantage of every
	opportunity to recruit a new ham or member to foster growth of Field
	Organization programs, and our abilities to serve the public.

	license or higher.
