At least their books. They have already done this at least with their magazines, as the cost for the traditional paper copy has transformed into a premium option. Rumor on the street is they have / are considering some other source of funding other than the traditional membership method. Their membership numbers are… ## [Upping the ante when the FCC fails to do its job.](http://kb9mwr.blogspot.com/2025/07/upping-ante-when-fcc-fails-to-do-its-job.html) _2025-07-28 · Steve · Advancing Ham Radio.. different ideas_ Short of a writ of mandamus or continually having to get an elected official (usually as equally useless) to tell the FCC to do their jobs here are some ideas. When the ARRL files comments (publically viewable), they should kindly remind the FCC how long they have done nothing on the matter at hand. For example when I last commented I reminded them we've been waiting since January on the FNPRM for… ## [Moving foward](http://kb9mwr.blogspot.com/2025/07/moving-foward.html) _2025-07-23 · Steve · Advancing Ham Radio.. different ideas_ Good to see the ARRL is at least trying occasionally. If they did this more often I'd at least be able to speak more positively about them. July 11 Notice of Ex Parte Meeting I like this summary. It's inline with what I have been saying for some time. The fundamental purpose of the amateur service is to encourage experimentation with radio technologies of all kinds “to contribute to the… ## [The latest FCC waiting game](http://kb9mwr.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-latest-fcc-waiting-game.html) _2025-05-19 · Steve · Advancing Ham Radio.. different ideas_ In April I filed reply comments mostly to give the nudge to what Steve Stroh wrote. I have been down this utterly wasteful road before. Back in January of 2024 I wrote comments to the FNPRM on WT Docket 16-239 (the symbol rate). That whole symbol rate thing started nearest I can tell around 2003 ( RM-11306 ). And when that failed, it was reintroduced in 2013 . After it not going anywhere for a… ## [44Net](http://kb9mwr.blogspot.com/2025/05/44net.html) _2025-05-07 · Steve · Advancing Ham Radio.. different ideas_ In my last post I shed some light on how I feel there are good things being funded by the ARDC , but in the end its not really changing a whole lot. It's origional inception was loaning address space to hams. And when you read their page: "The goals are to of advance the state of the art of Amateur Radio networking, and to educate amateur radio operators in these techniques." It's not clear what… ## [Meshtastic](http://kb9mwr.blogspot.com/2025/04/meshtastic.html) _2025-04-25 · Steve · Advancing Ham Radio.. different ideas_ Years ago I had built a 900 MHz analog repeater. Mostly to learn about the propagation, and because my friend in Milwaukee needed someone to build a 900 MHz repeater. So I built two. Mine was a lower power, the lower profile one on my tower at home. So anyway when friend or two brought up messing with Meshtastic on 900 MHz, I was like sure because I already have spare antennnas and other things.… ## [Made a change to the station](https://underwateryagi.blogspot.com/2024/10/made-change-to-station.html) _2024-10-04 · plaws · The Radio Room_ Primarily, removed the N5 and installed a VE3.
