Hi all,

Many of you have seen the ARRL announcement of the new Volunteer Monitor
(VM), joint ARRL-FCC program, approved by the ARRL Board this past
April.  FCC monitoring activity has been reduced in recent years, making
this new program important to Amateur Radio.

http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-and-fcc-sign-memorandum-to-implement-new-volunteer-monitor-program

In Hawaii, I’m proud to say, there have been few reports of operation
not conforming to FCC Part §97 rules, regulations, and “in accordance
with good engineering and good amateur practice”. Self-regulation is a
foundation of our service allowing all but the extreme habitual cases to
be reported to the FCC.

The introduction of Internet technology linking Amateur Radio analog and
digital networks makes monitoring a challenge, but technology assists
groups maintaining these networks.  Amateur Radio RF messages are
public; most linked networks can and do record all communications 24 x7.
Reports of questionable operation can be viewed after the fact.
Recently the Winlink development team made a tool designed for gateway
control operator monitoring, available to any who have a Winlink email
account.  These monitoring systems remind there is no expectation of
privacy in the use of our radio service.

In the new ARRL program, Hawaii should have VMs.  We cover an area that
few mainland stations can monitor.  If you have an interest, please
consider volunteering.
