1 Serving St. Tammany and The Northshore Since 1964 THE VOTES ARE IN FOR 2016! Election results for club officers; And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. -Mark 3:25 President: Ron WB5CXJ Vice Pres: John AA5UY Treasurer: Tom KD5GFG Secretary: Frank WA5VCS Board: Paul WB9SUG (Automatic) John KF5OPB Tom K5HWQ Glen KG5CEN SKYWARN Recognition Day Results OARC members and surrounding area Ham s streamed in and out of the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Slidell, LA.

3 National Parks on the Air Update Statistics from the first month of National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) prove that the event is a big hit nationwide! In January, 243 of the 483 eligible NPOTA units had at least one activation, with 606 total qualified activations. More than 72,100 NPOTA contacts were uploaded to Logbook of The World (LoTW) in January. The top three most-activated units are all trails: The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, TR01 (15); the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail, TR23 (10); and the Santa Fe National Historic Trail, TR11 (9). The top three units attracting the greatest number of contacts were the Santa Fe National Historic Trail, TR11 (1977); Hot Springs National Park, NP30 (1781), and Cape Cod National Seashore, SS03 (1563). With an expected uptick in activity as the weather gets warmer across the country, 1 million NPOTA QSOs are not out of the realm of possibility. For the week of February 4-10, 28 different NPOTA units are scheduled to be activated, including the Fort Pulaski National Monument in Georgia. See the NPOTA Activations Calendar for the complete listings. - npota.arrl.org Capacitance Hats off to club members AA5UZ & AA5UY and for leading the 2016 Louisiana NPOTA Chaser Leader Board for Louisiana and to WB5CXJ for making the top 10! Looks like John and Judy are magnetically coupled in a race for the lead with Judy s signal up by one! Details about these and other activations coming up can be found on the NPOTA Activations calendar. -The ARRL Letter There is nothing so American as our national parks... The fundamental idea behind the parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. -Franklin D. Roosevelt 3

5 US House Cosponsor List for Amateur Radio Parity Act Grows 02/03/2016 The list of cosponsors for the US House version of the Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2015 (H.R. 1301) continues to grow. The addition of Rep Stevan Pearce, KG5KIQ (R-NM), and Rep Beto O Rourke (D-TX) as cosponsors on February 1 raises the total to 120 cosponsors. They are among four cosponsors to sign on to the bill since the start of the year. The other two are Reps Robert Brady (D-PA) and Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), who became cosponsors on January 12 and 13 respectively. QRM - Survey What do you do when propagation is very poor? _I go to C.W. or a digital mode... _I fire up the soldering iron and build/repair something... _I watch T.V... _I surf the Internet with my computer... _I do some yard/house work... _I spend more time with my XYL/Kids/Family... _I go to the gym / exercise... Send Answers to qrmeditor@w5sla.net Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. One of a small handful of hams in the US House, Pearce got his ham ticket in November, after reaching out to then-rocky Mountain Division Director (now Second Vice President) Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT, and New Mexico Section Manager Ed James, KA8JMW, to find out more about ham radio. He joins his House colleagues Reps Daniel Benishek, KB8TOW (R-MI), and Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR), who chairs the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. During a January 12 hearing on H.R. 1301, Walden called the Amateur Radio Parity Act a commonsense bill and urged his colleagues to support it. Brady, Kaptur, Pearce, and O Rourke may have heeded his advice. A League-led effort to encourage members to urge their lawmakers to become cosponsors of the House and Senate measures continues. League representatives will be at the 2016 ARRL National Convention February in Orlando, Florida, hosted by the Orlando HamCation, to assist members in writing their members of Congress. H.R would direct the FCC to extend its rules relating to reasonable accommodation of Amateur Service communications to private land-use restrictions, such as deed covenants, conditions, and restrictions. An identical US Senate measure, S. 1685, has attracted 3 cosponsors. It cleared the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation last November. More information about the legislation is on the ARRL Amateur Radio Parity Act web page. -Ronald Reagan 5

As we approach the rainy season, take some time to check your antenna connections and weather proof them with electrical tape, Coax-Seal or other weatherproofing material to prevent the water from degrading your signals over time. Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get. -Mark Twain 8
