==> ELLEN WHITE, W1YL, SILENT KEY, DEVOTED LIFETIME TO AMATEUR RADIO
AND ARRL

Ellen White, W1YL, of Brandon, Florida, passed away on Sunday,
November 6, 2022. She was 95. White became a radio amateur in 1946 and
devoted over 75 years of her life to ham radio, including more than 25
years on the headquarters staff for ARRL The National Association for
Amateur Radio®. She retired in 1978 as Deputy Communications Manager
and became editor of the "How's DX?" column for ARRL's membership
journal, QST. White was an ARRL Life Member and donor.

At its meeting in January 1978, the ARRL Board of Directors adopted
a resolution recognizing White and her husband Robert (Bob) L. White,
W1CW (SK), after having "completed a quarter-century of faithful
service to the American Radio Relay League." The resolution cites that
Ellen White had "built a reputation for thoroughness and objectivity on
a mountain of contest logs," and celebrated her "intelligent and
creative work as Deputy Communications Manager."

White was admired by the worldwide amateur radio community. In 2019,
she was the sole US radio amateur to be awarded the Russian E.T.
Krenkel Medal, a prestigious award granted to individuals and
organizations for outstanding global contributions to amateur radio.

Director of ARRL's Publications and Editorial Department Becky
Schoenfeld, W1BXY, reflected on the news of White's passing. "Ellen was
a trailblazing woman in amateur radio. She and I corresponded over the
years [before] finally meeting up at Orlando HamCation® in 2020. Ellen
often marveled at how much farther women had come in the ham radio
hobby, service, and community since she got her start. Every time I
talked to her, I thanked her for paving the way," said Schoenfeld.

White had learned Morse code in high school, and only rarely
operated any other mode. "Ellen loved CW, contesting, and DXing," said
former ARRL Field & Educational Services Manager Rosalie White, K1STO
(no relation) who was hired by Ellen White to work for ARRL in 1973.
Rosalie White is now an ARISS-International US Delegate representing
ARRL. She recounted that in the 1940s, Ellen and Bob White earned First
Class Radiotelephone and Second Class Radiotelegraph commercial
licenses. "She [Ellen White], being a maverick, also took the Class B
FCC amateur radio test to become W2RBU, and promptly joined ARRL. Radio
broadcast station KPOA based in [Hawaii], hired her (then KH6QI) as
Station Engineer in the days when it was unheard of for a woman."

==> ARRL PROGRAMS TO BENEFIT FROM AUCTION PROCEEDS

The 17th Annual ARRL Online Auction, sponsored by RT Systems Inc., took
place on October 21 - 27, 2022. There were over 200 participants who
submitted bids, vying for QST "Product Review" equipment, new ham radio
gear, vintage books, and the popular ARRL Lab mystery junque boxes.
Plenty of spectators also contributed additional traffic to the auction
site by browsing items and watching the bids climb.

ARRL Auction Manager Lisa Tardette, KB1MOI, reported that "695 bids
were recorded, and a number of items went into overtime bidding." After
all was tallied, this year's auction grossed more than $32,000.
Tardette said the items that drew the highest interest from bidders had
been previously tested for the popular "Product Review" column in QST.
The Elecraft K4D HF/6M SDR transceiver, reviewed in the September 2022
issue of QST, had a winning bid of $5,850. The Four State QRP Group
Bayou Jumper 40-meter CW transceiver, reviewed in the March 2022 issue
of QST, went for $675, while it currently retails for $105. Bidders
like to support a good cause and know that these "Product Review" items
have been rigorously tested in the ARRL Lab.

Comments from bidders included, "Thank you, I'm excited about my new
radio," and, "Happy to participate in an event for a great cause."

The ARRL Online Auction is an important fundraiser and a critical means
of support for many of the association's programs, which rely on
funding sources beyond basic membership dues. ARRL Education and
Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, said that the auction raises
funds to further projects that otherwise would go unsupported.
"Following the launch of the ARRL Learning Center (learn.arrl.org
<https://learn.arrl.org/>) late last year, we are developing more
content to help amateur radio operators increase their knowledge and
skills," said Goodgame. "The Learning Center provides ARRL members with
instruction and training for getting on the air, emergency
communications, and electronics and technology."

Goodgame said that several full courses are under development. ARRL
Emergency Communications Training courses are being updated and
modernized. ARRL has also partnered with Dave Casler, KE0OG, to offer
his supplemental amateur radio license instruction on the ARRL Learning
Center. These efforts are made possible in part through the proceeds of
the ARRL Online Auction.

"We would like to express our appreciation to all of the winning
bidders, RT Systems <https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/> -- this year's
auction sponsor -- and to all of our donors who provided such a diverse
mix of items," said Tardette. "We look forward to our 18th Annual ARRL
Online Auction in 2023."

==> CALVERT AMATEUR RADIO ASSOCIATION CONDUCTS SIMULATED EMERGENCY TEST

On October 15, 2022, the Calvert County Auxiliary Communications
Services of Maryland, associated with the Calvert Amateur Radio
Association (CARA), conducted a Simulated Emergency Test (SET).

The test was designed to evaluate the capability of a county-provided,
amateur-band radio system that uses Kenwood TM-V71A transceivers and
Remoterig RRC-1258 hardware over the county-secure intranet to a tower
site in Barstow, Maryland.

Remoterig gear allows for the separation of the front panel from the
radio's RF deck, similar to a mobile installation. But with Remoterig,
the separation cable is a TCP/IP network, allowing an arbitrarily long
distance between the front panel and the RF deck. For the SET, the
radio's front panels were in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and
the RF decks were at a tower site about 3 miles away, near the
geographic center of the county.

The planning and implementation of this system was guided by Calvert
RACES Officer Bill Hackett, N3XMZ, and Calvert ARES® Emergency
Coordinator Shawn Donley, N3AE, using county funding.

The first part of the test was to determine if MT63-2000L digital mode
would work over the Remoterig system to augment existing Winlink
capability.

The second part of the test was to have CARA members transmit on
simplex from mobile transceivers from various locations in the county
to the Barstow tower. Transmissions from low-lying areas were
preferred, such as the many waterways and other locations that may need
to be accessed during disasters. The tests were on 2 meters and 70
centimeters.

The results showed that additional work is needed to send MT63-2000L
over Remoterig terminals, and some changes to the audio quality
settings are necessary (sampling rate and word size). As the Diamond
X300NA antenna on the tower is 350 feet above the ground and the
terrain of the county is flat, nearly all locations were successful in
contacting the ham radio operators at the EOC, including those using
low power at the tower site.

Due to unforeseen problems with scheduling a Section-wide October SET,
CARA took the opportunity to evaluate its new system. Overall, the test
was successful.

==> RADIO AMATEURS AT THE READY FOR TROPICAL STORM NICOLE

Amateur radio emergency communications volunteers have been busy
throughout preparations for, and in response to, Tropical Storm Nicole
as the storm crossed the Atlantic and made landfall in Florida as a
hurricane on Thursday, November 10, 2022, around 3:00 AM EST.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) had upgraded the tropical storm to
a hurricane on Wednesday night when Nicole made landfall on Grand
Bahama Island. The storm soon returned to tropical-storm status, after
moving over east-central Florida.

The Hurricane Watch Net <https://www.hwn.org/> (HWN) activated
Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM EST on their primary frequency of 14.325
MHz. The net disseminates the latest NHC advisories and will obtain
real-time ground-level weather conditions and initial damage
assessments from amateur radio operators in the affected area, and
relay that information to the NHC by way of their station, WX4NHC.

The VoIP Hurricane Net <https://voipwx.net/> began monitoring
conditions at 8:00 AM EST on Wednesday morning, and activated at 12:00
PM EST. The net will remain active potentially through 12:00 PM EST on
Thursday. Read
<https://voipwx.net/2022/11/09/voip-hurricane-net-will-activate-from-12-pm-est-wednesday-11-9-22-through-12-pm-est-thursday-11-10-22-for-nicole/>

the Wednesday post from Director of Operations for the VoIP Hurricane
Net Rob Macedo, KD1CY.

Amateur Radio Liaison to the State of Florida Arc Thames, W4CPD,
reported that the radio room in the Florida State Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) was staffed for any emergency traffic. The center has been
monitoring HF nets and the Statewide Amateur Radio Network (SARnet), a
network of linked repeaters that serves Florida. Additionally, the
Statewide Emergency NET was activated on Wednesday at 11:00 PM
EST/10:00 PM CST, with plans to run the operation for approximately 24
hours. More information is available at https://floridaemergency.net
<https://floridaemergency.net/>.

ARRL Southern Florida Section Manager Barry Porter, KB1PA, reported
activations of Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) groups and
counties that had activated shelters. Northern Florida ARES was
operating at "Level 3 MONITORING."

==> REACHING YOUTH THROUGH AMATEUR RADIO IN THE CLASSROOM

ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, attended the
Georgia Educational Technology Conference, held November 2 - 4, 2022.
The conference was the first part in a series of planned ARRL exhibits
to meet with teachers and promote amateur radio in the classroom.
Assisted by ARRL Teachers Institute Instructor Wayne Greene, KB4DSF,
along with volunteers Cyndi Goodgame, K5CYN, and Betsey Greene, they
spoke to hundreds of teachers, school administrators, and technology
directors about the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology
<http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology>.

ARRL's participation at this conference, as well as future events, is
meant to inform and network with educators looking to incorporate
amateur radio into their curriculum.

"The level of interest among teachers was incredible!" said Goodgame.
"Our booth enjoyed heavy traffic for the duration of the conference,
much of the time with all four of us engaged in discussions with
multiple people simultaneously. Except for a couple of teachers we met
who were already hams, few teachers had heard of amateur radio before
this conference. These teachers were absolutely amazed at the
possibilities that exist when including amateur radio and related
educational experiences in their schools."

"Teachers were especially excited at the connections between amateur
radio and space. We shared information about the ARISS program --
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
<http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-on-the-international-space-station>
-- as well as communicating via amateur satellites. Enough teachers
were interested in learning more about the relationship between amateur
radio and satellites communications that we put together an impromptu
live demonstration using two handhelds and an Arrow antenna we had for
display in the booth. We gathered a crowd of teachers, along with a few
students who were presenting their Student Showcase projects and headed
outside. We enjoyed a good satellite pass and made contacts through
AO-27. One of the students even got on the air!"

"Overall, it was a great conference and a great opportunity for ARRL to
network with educators and work with them to help get more youth
engaged in amateur radio."

==> ANNOUNCEMENTS

WXWarn 2.0, software that uses the National Weather Service (NWS)
real-time weather data feed, is now available. The application
constantly monitors NWS weather updates and displays user-selected
alerts as they're issued. WXWarn 2.0 can be configured to display a
simple heads-up, unfolding weather conditions at the county, statewide,
or regional level, or severe weather alerts for the entire US. WXWarn
2.0 is useful for individual use, but also for volunteers supporting
amateur radio emergency communications as part of the complement of
resources they utilize. Developers and ARRL members Scott Davis, N3FJP;
Kimberly Davis, KA3SEQ, and their son, Chris Davis, KB3KCN, report that
the updated software is a complete recreation from the previous 1.8
version. They also state that it is operating-system agnostic and will
run entirely in a browser. There is nothing to install, and it will
even work on a phone, but Chrome or Firefox should be used for the best
results. The latest version of WXWarn is available at
https://wxwarn.affirmatech.com <https://wxwarn.affirmatech.com/>.

ARRL Headquarters will be closed on Friday, November 11, in observance
of Veterans Day. There will be no W1AW bulletin or code practice
transmissions on that day. ARRL HQ will reopen on Monday, November 14,
at 8 AM EST. The FCC will also be closed on Veterans Day. Amateur
license applications will not be processed by the FCC from close of
business Thursday, November 10, until Monday, November 14, at 8 AM EST.

Get ready for ARRL November Sweepstakes Phone (SSB), November 19-21,
2022. In this popular annual contest, stations in the US and Canada
(including territories and possessions) exchange information with as
many other US and Canadian stations as possible. November Sweepstakes
is the oldest domestic radiosport event (the first was in 1930). Read
