Past BAARC Secretary
Shirley KCØDCW
and Past BAARC Treasurer Bob KGØZK
talk about club leadership.
Bob has finally sold his home on Sylvan Lake and is leaving for his new home in Bluffton, SC. Bob plans to change his callsign to have a 4 in it to reflect his new geographic location, but hopes to keep his ZK suffix. We wish him well at his new home and Ham club where he is their treasurer.

ARRL Dakota Division Director Jay
Bellows, KØQB, was the featured speaker at the
meeting. His talk was of great interest
to everyone. Jay explained how the FCC changed its procedure for handling Part 15 of the rules. Specifically, BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) Internet access is being allowed in spite of complaints from Hams who are experiencing interference problems from the systems that have already been installed. The ARRL is attempting to get a bill passed on Congress that will require the FCC to reexamine interference caused by BPL.
