Among other
actions at its July meeting, the ARRL board of directors rescinded a 2017
censure of Southwestern Division Director Dick Norton, N6AA. Norton had been
accused of violating the League's so-called "code of conduct" for
directors by allegedly criticizing the board's decision to adopt the code,
which has now itself been rescinded.
The board also
approved a motion to require that all contacts claimed for credit in ARRL
contests and the DXCC program must have a human operator at both ends to
initiate the contact. This means that contacts by or with fully automated
stations will not count for ARRL contest or DXCC credit.
