Special Notice.. Server maintenance is scheduled..

Hey Gang,

 

I just got the follow message from the folks who maintain the Ohio Section, Great Lakes Division, Ohio Digital Net (OHDEN) and OSSBN website servers..

An upgrade to the system infrastructure is scheduled to take place in two phases on Tuesday, December 8 at 9:30pm MST (11:30pm EST). This upgrade will allow the server folks to increase reliability and uptime for the services that they provide.

Phase one includes 15-20 minutes of downtime during which the websites listed above may be temporarily unavailable to you. These websites will be back online, viewable, and all interactive features will be fully functional at the beginning of phase two.

During phase two, certain portions of our hosts server functions will be unavailable.

Thanks in advance for your patience during this upgrade. We're working hard to improve the services that power your websites and we understand any maintenance can be an inconvenience.

Since this comes at a time where many of you are completing your FSD-212 EC/DEC reporting forms, I thought you need to know that these servers will be under maintenance and may not respond to you during these specific listed times.. Please take note of these down times when

getting ready to file your reports..

Thanks so much for your patience..

Scott, N8SY..

HUGE NEWS.. PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY!!

FCC Eliminates Amateur Radio Vanity Call Sign Regulatory Fee

05/22/2015

The FCC is eliminating the regulatory fee to apply for an Amateur Radio vanity call sign. The change will not go into effect, however, until required congressional notice has been given. This will take at least 90 days. As the Commission explained in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Report and Order, and Order (MD Docket 14-92 and others), released May 21, it’s a matter of simple economics.
“The Commission spends more resources on processing the regulatory fees and issuing refunds than the amount of the regulatory fee payment,” the FCC said. “As our costs now exceed the regulatory fee, we are eliminating this regulatory fee category.” The current vanity call sign regulatory fee is $21.40, the highest in several years. The FCC reported there were 11,500 “payment units” in FY 2014 and estimated that it would collect nearly $246,100.

In its 2014 Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) regarding the assessment and collection of regulatory fees for FY 2014, the FCC had sought comment on eliminating several smaller regulatory fee categories, such as those for vanity call signs and GMRS. It concluded in the subsequent Report and Order (R&O) last summer, however, that it did not have “adequate support to determine whether the cost of recovery and burden on small entities outweighed the collected revenue or whether eliminating the fee would adversely affect the licensing process.”

The FCC said it has since had an opportunity to obtain and analyze support concerning the collection of the regulatory fees for Amateur Vanity and GMRS, which the FCC said comprise, on average, more than 20,000 licenses that are newly obtained or renewed, every 10 and 5 years, respectively.
“The Commission often receives multiple applications for the same vanity call sign, but only one applicant can be issued that call sign,” the FCC explained. “In such cases, the Commission issues refunds for all the remaining applicants. In addition to staff and computer time to process payments and issue refunds, there is an additional expense to issue checks for the applicants who cannot be refunded electronically.”

The Commission said that after it provides the required congressional notification, Amateur Radio vanity program applicants “will no longer be financially burdened with such payments, and the Commission will no longer incur these administrative costs that exceed the fee payments. The revenue that the Commission would otherwise collect from these regulatory fee categories will be proportionally assessed on other wireless fee categories.”

The FCC said it would not issue refunds to licensees who paid the regulatory fee prior to its official elimination.

Ohio Tornado Drill MOVED to Friday - March 6th

Hi Gang,

Just wanted to blast this important message out to all of you that are a part of the statewide Tornado Safety Drills..

Ohio Emergency Management officials have moved the statewide tornado drill that was scheduled for this Wednesday - March 4th. They have decided to push back the drill two days because more wintry weather is on the way.

Tornado sirens around the state were to blast Wednesday morning. But, because another winter storm is on the way, the test has been delayed until 9:50 a.m. on FRIDAY. The test will last three minutes.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain starting Tuesday morning with a changeover to rain during the day. Rain is then expected to change over to snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, with heavy snow possible Wednesday in some southern parts of the state.

Some low-lying areas could see flooding as well.
