Changing of the Guard: Rick Roderick, K5UR, Elected as ARRL's 16th President

The ARRL Board of Directors has elected ARRL First Vice President Rick
Roderick, K5UR, of Little Rock, Arkansas, as ARRL President. The Board took the
 action as it convened for its 2016 Annual Meeting January 15-16 in Windsor,
Connecticut. Roderick, 63, officially assumed office for a 2-year term at the
conclusion of the Annual Meeting. He is the ARRL's 16th president, succeeding
Kay Craigie, N3KN, of Blacksburg, Virginia, who had served for three terms
since being elected in 2010.

A ham for 48 years, Roderick is an attorney. He has served on the ARRL Board of
 Directors for 24 years and is an enthusiastic Amateur Radio operator and DXer
on HF and VHF/UHF. He and his wife Holly have two adult children.

The Board also chose other officers, electing Dakota Division Director Greg
Widin, K0GW, of Stillwater, Minnesota, as First Vice President, succeeding
Roderick, and Rocky Mountain Division Director Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT, of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, as Vice President, succeeding Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF.
Roderick, Widin, and Mileshosky all are ARRL Life Members. Fenstermaker was
later named by the Board as an ARRL Honorary Vice President.

As a result of the Vice President election, Rocky Mountain Division Vice
Director Dwayne Allen, WY7FD, of Sundance, Wyoming, has become the new Division
 Director, succeeding Mileshosky, while Dakota Division Vice Director Kent
Olson, KA0LDG, of Horace, North Dakota, has become the new Division Director,
succeeding Widin. President Roderick will fill the Vice Director vacancies.

In other action, the Board re-elected International Affairs Vice President Jay
Bellows, K0QB, Chief Financial Officer Barry Shelley, N1VXY, and Chief
Technology Officer Brennan Price, N4QX.

The Board also elected one new member to the Executive Committee, which can act
 on the behalf of the Board between its two yearly meetings in January and
July. Delta Division Director David Norris, K5UZ, will replace New England
Division Director Tom Frenaye, K1KI, on the panel. The other Director members
are Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB; West Gulf Division Director
Dr David Woolweaver, K5RAV; Pacific Division Director Bob Vallio, W6RGG, and
Great Lakes Division Director Dale Williams, WA8EFK.

ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer, WJ1B, also was attending his final
meeting in an official capacity. He will retire on March 1 after about 11 years
 at ARRL Headquarters.

The Board considered the recommendations of the CEO Search Committee and
selected a candidate to succeed ARRL Chief Executive Officer David Sumner,
K1ZZ, who is retiring this spring after 44 years on the ARRL Headquarters
staff. A formal announcement is pending.

In other action, the Board approved an annual budget that contains an operating
 surplus this year, in the wake of a deficit last year. The overall budget was
$15.3 million, approximately the same as the previous year's spending plan.


ARRL's New President to Make First Official Convention Visit in Puerto Rico

Newly elected ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, will make his first official
convention visit as he heads a League contingent at the ARRL Puerto Rico State
Convention later this month in Hatillo, Puerto Rico.

"The Organizing Committee of the convention is pleased to know that President
Roderick will be attending and has chosen to participate with us," said
Convention Chair José Vicéns, NP4G. Other League officials expected to attend
include Southeastern Division Director Doug Rehman, K4AC, and General Counsel
Chris Imlay, W3KD.

"I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the ARRL Puerto Rico State
Convention," President Roderick told the Organizing Committee.

The January 30-31 event, the 4th Puerto Rico State Convention, will be
dedicated to emergency communication. The Caribbean Amateur Radio Group, the
Puerto Rico Amateur Radio Group, and the city of Hatillo are co-sponsoring the
gathering in the Francisco "Pancho" Deida Coliseum. More than 1200 are expected
 to attend the largest Amateur Radio event of the Caribbean. Admission is free.

In addition to forums, exhibits, and Amateur Radio examinations, special event
station KP4AW will be on the air from inside the coliseum. An Amateur of the
Year Award will also be presented, and the Coquifest 2016 get-together will be
held on el Gran Parque de Hatillo on Saturday evening.


Outgoing ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ, Honored with ARRL President's Award

As both were on the threshold of departing their official positions with the
League, then-ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, presented ARRL CEO David Sumner,
 K1ZZ, with the ARRL President's Award. The presentation came during the ARRL
Board of Directors' Annual Meeting January 15-16 in Windsor, Connecticut. She
also recognized two Board members for their 50 years of League membership.

The legend on the ARRL President's Award plaque recognizes Sumner "for lifetime
 dedication to advancing the art, science, and enjoyment of Amateur Radio."
Sumner announced last year that he would be stepping down at the end of May
after 44 years on the ARRL Headquarters staff.

Licensed in 1962, Sumner has been engaged in Amateur Radio in the domestic and
international arenas for most of the years since. Sumner is an active contester
 and DXer and renowned for the breadth and depth of his knowledge and expertise
 in Amateur Radio.


ARRL President Bestows President's Award on AMSAT's Tom Clark, K3IO

The ARRL has honored veteran AMSAT personality and Amateur Radio digital
pioneer Tom Clark, K3IO (ex-W3IWI), with its President's Award. Then-ARRL
President Kay Craigie, N3KN, presented the award plaque to Clark at a January
10 meeting of the Potomac Valley Radio Club in Blacksburg, Virginia. The
plaque, which bears a likeness of ARRL Co-Founder Hiram Percy Maxim, W1AW,
recognizes Clark's 60 years of advancing Amateur Radio technology.

"In addition to his work with AMSAT, Tom was a leader in the development of the
 AX.25 packet radio network in the 1980s, when he was W3IWI. Anyone who was on
packet in the 1980s knew that call sign," President Craigie said. "I recall
attending a forum he gave on packet radio at a hamfest in Baltimore in the
1980s, when people on the East Coast were just getting interested in the mode
and its possibilities." Clark was a TAPR director during the heyday of packet
radio forwarding, and TAPR's significance was huge, she said.

Former AMSAT President and current AMSAT Director Bob McGwier, N4HY, was more
direct. "There would be no AMSAT to inspire all of this work without Tom
Clark," he said, noting that the organization had been in serious trouble after
 the Phase 3A satellite launch failure.

"Tom took over as president of AMSAT, and he saved the organization and
inspired all of us to look to the future and aim for the stars," McGwier said.
"All that has followed, including PACSAT and microsats, CubeSats, AO-13, all
the way through AO-85, are a direct result of Tom Clark saving AMSAT and
providing it leadership as president from 1980 to 1987 and continuous
leadership on the Board of Directors of AMSAT from 1976 until today." Read

National Parks on the Air Update

Great pileups were reported from many National Parks on the Air (NPOTA)
activators over the January 16-17 weekend. We're getting more and more comments
 from participants who are catching "NPOTA Fever" and beginning the chase.

At three weeks into the year-long event, we've seen nearly 200 of the 483 NPOTA
 units activated -- an amazing level of participation! Several Chasers are
taking the event seriously as well; 11 Chasers have more than 100 NPOTA units
confirmed, and 84 have 50 or more units in the bag. And it's still mighty cold
in a large part of the county...just think what activity will be like when it
warms up a bit.

NPOTA Managers Sean Kutzko, KX9X, and Norm Fusaro, W3IZ, are talking NPOTA, ham
 radio, and RVing on this week's RoadTreking.com podcast, "Reliable
Communications for the RVer," hosted by Mike Wendland, K8ZRH, an NPOTA
Activator.

More than 20 Activations are scheduled for the week of January 21-27; check the
 NPOTA Activations calendar for details. Follow NPOTA on Facebook and Twitter,
too! -- Thanks to ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X

There's Still Time -- But Not Much -- to Make Plans for the ARRL National
Convention and Banquet

Time is tight to order ARRL National Convention Banquet tickets and to make
your plans to attend the Convention February 12-14, hosted by the popular
Orlando HamCation(R), which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. The
banquet will take place on Saturday, February 13, at 6:30 PM, with ARRL CEO
David Sumner, K1ZZ, as the keynote speaker. Guests also will hear from and get
to meet the League's new President, Rick Roderick, K5UR. Master of Ceremonies
will be ARRL Southeastern Division Director Doug Rehman, K4AC. Banquet tickets
will be available until January 31. The ARRL cannot guarantee that any tickets
will be available for sale during the convention.

The Convention and HamCation have plenty of activities to offer, and, of
course, it's a great place to meet with friends you haven't seen for a while.
ARRL's exhibit area will highlight the various aspects of League services,
including the ARRL Education & Technology Program (ETP), Public Service,
Radiosport and DXCC card checking, and The Amateur Radio Parity Act. Visitors
not only will be able to peruse the many and varied ARRL publications and gear,
 but ARRL staff will be on hand to help generate and send letters to Members of
 Congress to urge their support of The Amateur Radio Parity Act. ARRL
Laboratory representatives will test your handheld radio. It's also an
opportunity to learn more about the ARRL National Parks on the Air (NPOTA)
event, which continues through the end of the year. On Saturday afternoon,
younger visitors -- licensed or not -- can participate in a hidden-transmitter
hunt -- a foxhunt -- using a receiver and directional antenna.

so you won't miss anything. More information is available on the ARRL National
Convention web page. Read more.


Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, Named as ARRL Contest Branch Manager

Former ARRL staffer Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, is the League's new ARRL Contest Branch
manager. Jahnke returned to ARRL Headquarters on January 4 after a decade away,
 working in the customer service, manufacturing sales and support, and
information technology fields in the Midwest and on the East Coast. He succeeds
 Matt Wilhelm, W1MSW, who resigned last year.

"It is great to be back at ARRL and to see the faces of many friends still here
 -- and still dedicated to serving Amateur Radio -- as well as new faces, new
friends, to join in the journey," said Jahnke, who previously spent nearly 20
years at Headquarters. "With continued strong activity comes our obligation to
produce and release results as rapidly as possible."

Jahnke said he hopes -- with the help of Headquarters staff and volunteer data
processers and log checkers outside Headquarters -- to make things happen more
rapidly and efficiently, processing logs and publishing contest results without
 compromising the integrity of the current system.

"We need to continue to work smarter, not harder, to serve the contest
community," he said.

Jahnke served as ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) Manager from 1989
until 2005. He initially joined the ARRL Headquarters staff in 1985, starting
out as editor of the ARRL Repeater Directory.

Jahnke said that while his primary interest during his 36 years in ham radio
has been volunteer activities and "weak-signal" VHF, UHF, and microwave
contesting, meteor scatter, and EME work, he has also enjoyed casually
operating in HF contests. He concedes, however, that it may be time to "add
some forte to my low bands!"


Dayton Amateur Radio Association Surprises ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ

As he nears retirement, ARRL CEO David Sumner has been honored by the Dayton
Amateur Radio Association (DARA), which sponsors Dayton Hamvention(R). Sumner
had been invited to speak at DARA's January 8 meeting, purportedly to recount
his many years with ARRL. While such out-of-town speaking engagements are not
out of the ordinary for him, something he wasn't anticipating awaited him at
this event.

"Dave provided a great insight into the mission of the ARRL, but our club had
some surprises," said DARA President Don Dubon, N6JRL.

The Dayton Amateur Radio Association honored Sumner with a plaque noting his
"Outstanding Career and Service to Amateur Radio." The club also made him a
"Gold Card" lifetime member of DARA, an honor bestowed on very few, Dubon said.
 In addition, the ARRL Ohio Section presented him with a Special Recognition
Award.

"I am very pleased that the relationship between DARA and the ARRL has
blossomed into one of the outstanding partnerships in organized Amateur Radio,"
 Sumner said.

A reception attended by some 160 DARA members followed the meeting.


Winter Field Day Set for January 30-31

There really is a Winter Field Day, and this year, it takes place over the
January 30-31 weekend, sponsored by the Winter Field Day Association (WFDA).
The annual event's stated purpose is to encourage emergency operating
preparedness in the winter, but it's also a great opportunity to operate in the
 great outdoors. The WFDA describes itself as a dedicated group of Amateur
Radio operators who believe that getting ready for emergency communication in a
 winter environment is just as important as the preparations and practice that
take place at ARRL Field Day each June, all while taking some additional unique
 operational concerns into account. The WFDA points out that disasters are
unpredictable, and its goal is to help enhance operators' skills and prepare
for all environmental conditions typically found in the US and Canada
throughout the entire year.

"We believe...that maintaining your operational skills should not be limited to
 fair weather scenarios," the group says. "The addition of a Winter Field Day
will enhance those already important skills of those who generously volunteer
their time and equipment to these organizations."

The event is not restricted to North America. All Amateur Radio operators
around the world are invited to participate. Operation will be on all HF bands
except 12, 17, 30, and 60 meters. The event runs 24 hours. US and Canadian
stations exchange call sign, operating category, and ARRL or RAC section. The
rules are similar to those for the ARRL Field Day, held in June.

Last year, WR5J, W7KXB, KG7NJQ, and K7ZFO braved the conditions to operate as
NC7G near North Bend, Washington. Curt Black, WR5J, recounts, "We had a
fantastic team -- young, new hams, and some amazing octogenarian hams. All
contributed to the effort and the triumph. We had fantastic operating
conditions." Black said the weather was great too, with balmy temperatures.

"We had a blast -- worked all night long -- bounced from band to band and mode
to mode. We had no idea it was going to be as warm as it was," he said. --

Midwinter 630 Meter Activity Weekend Set for Early February

US and Canadian radio amateurs and experimenters will join forces in February
for the first Midwinter 630 Meter Activity Weekend. The event will get under
way at 0000 UTC on February 6 (Friday, February 5, in US time zones) and runs
through 2359 UTC on February 7.

"This event is being undertaken because of the new and quickly growing interest
 in present 630 meter activities, both in the US and Canada," said ARRL 600
Meter Experimental Group (WD2XSH) Experiment Coordinator Fritz Raab, W1FR.
"Much of the interest is in response to the strong likelihood of US amateurs
receiving access to the band in the near future, while Canadian hams are eager
to learn more about the present level of Amateur Radio activity on their newest
 ham band." The activity weekend comes on the heels of a special event
operation over the November 13-14 weekend that included participation by US and
 Canadian radio amateurs, and the Maritime Radio Historical Society (MRHS).

Raab said the two activity nights will offer interested amateurs in both
countries an opportunity to experience the 630 meter band and, through
crossband activity with Canadian amateurs, to take part in activity in the MF
spectrum. "Our hope is to see this activity become an annual operating event,
to be held every winter on the 630 meter band," Raab said. "For those who may
be building for future 630 meter operation, this event will provide an
opportunity to test your 'receive' capabilities on MF."

Operation will be from 472 kHz to 479 kHz in various modes. Several Canadian
stations will undertake two-way crossband work, all on CW. Submit reception
reports via e-mail to the respective operators or via the ARRL 600 Meter
Experiment website. Read more.


NASA Control Terminates Spacewalk by Two-Ham Astronaut Team

NASA prematurely terminated a January 15 extra-vehicular excursion (EVA) - or
spacewalk - that Astronauts Tim Peake, KG5BVI, and Tim Kopra, KE5UDN, had been
undertaking since early that morning. The two were replacing a voltage
regulator near the solar arrays that had failed in November outside the
International Space Station (ISS) when Kopra reported what NASA Control called
"a small amount of water" inside his space helmet. NASA cut the spacewalk short
 at about 1700 UTC.

The incident recalled the 2013 problem suffered by Astronaut Luca Parmitano,
KF5KDP, when his helmet inexplicably began filling with water. The situation
became urgent by the time Parmitano and fellow spacewalker Chris Cassidy,
KF5KDR, were ordered back into the ISS. NASA subsequently blamed the water
buildup on unexplained cooling system issues.

The January 15 spacewalk was the first for Peake, and the third for Kopra.
Peake, the first UK astronaut, and Kopra arrived at the ISS in December.

All Amateur Radio equipment on the ISS is routinely shut down during EVAs,
effectively postponing planned commemorative slow-scan TV transmissions.
