ARRL is now accepting applications from individuals interested in becoming
part of the new Volunteer Monitor program
(
http://www.arrl.org/volunteer-monitor-program)
a joint undertaking of ARRL and the FCC. The program seeks volunteers
who � working under the direction of ARRL - will monitor and survey
the Amateur Radio bands both to detect improper activity and to
recognize exemplary on-the-air behavior.
Prospective Volunteer Monitors must be ARRL members. They will undergo a
training and certification program administered by ARRL, and will be
vetted by ARRL through at least one oral interview and a preliminary
evaluation by ARRL staff. Such requirements will continue for Volunteer
Monitors once they are selected.
Volunteer Monitors will serve 3-year terms at the pleasure of ARRL, and
ARRL will reserve the right to terminate the participation of any
Volunteer Monitor for any reason.
Volunteer Monitors must be able to utilize state-of-the-art receiving
equipment and to access no-cost remote receive sites, if requested.
Applicants must possess strong writing and communication skills and an
understanding of the importance of thorough documentation. They must
have basic word processing and data entry skills and be able to send
such information, including recordings, to ARRL electronically.
Applicants must have no history of warning letters or other
enforcement-related action from the FCC, must hold a Technician or
higher license class, and must have been licensed for at least 3 years.
Applicants should send a copy their applications to their Section
Manager (see page 16 in any recent issue of QST for a complete list of
Section Managers and their contact information).
In February, Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, was named to oversee the
development and implementation phases of the Volunteer Monitor program,
which will replace the Official Observers (OO) program. Hollingsworth
once handled Amateur Radio enforcement for the FCC.
