ARRL Foundation Special Funds Licensing, Education & Training ARRL Foundation Special Funds The ARRL Foundation Special Grant Funds The ARRL Foundation manages special funds that provide awards to celebrate individual accomplishments and grant for youth-oriented Amateur Radio activities. NEW EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FUND CREATED! In February 2013 the ARRL Foundation Board of Directors created the Alfred E.
Friend, Jr., W4CF, Educational Activities Fund to support Amateur Radio projects linked to organized programs and projects designed for groups to pursue on-going education in wireless/STEM/radio technology with special emphasis involving youth and teacher development Bill Orr, W6SAI, Technical Writing Award William I. Orr, W6SAI, was an engineer, educator and communicator of extraordinary ability.
Over a period of 40 years he wrote and edited scores of technical books and articles of interest to Amateur Radio enthusiasts. His topics ranged from basic electronic theory to microwave communications to the theory, design, construction and magic of antennas. Whether explaining electronic theory or the intricacies of a microwave amplifier for EME communications, Bill had the ability to use a simple, plain language.
He wrote about technical subjects in a way that naturally attracted amateurs who had an interest in the topic but lacked a technical background in the area. This fund was established through generous donations by Steve Cornell, K4AHA.
Award Criteria: The Bill Orr, W6SAI, Technical Writing Award is awarded yearly to the QST author who writes an outstanding QST article or series articles on new or existing technologies (or methods or means of amateur communication).
The article should be written in an easily understood style, worthy of the Bill Orr "stamp of approval" - it should encourage interest and expand the knowledge and understanding of amateurs who may not have a strong technical background.
Selection Process: The selection panel will be the ARRL QST editorial staff, who will recommend the winner from a review of the year's QST articles to the ARRL Foundation Board for final approval at the Annual Meeting (usually late January). Award: The award will be an engraved plaque to be presented at an ARRL convention if possible.

A novel provision in the May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 requires recipients of federal financial assistance to apply viewpoint-neutral terms to event services on any property they control — regardless of whether the event is federally funded. The provision lands hardest on the 3,069 county governments, the research universities that hold dispersed campus venues, and the community-based nonprofits that own meeting space. Comment deadline July 13, effective October 1. The defensive posture before then is the same regardless of how the final rule narrows scope.

It is not a NOFO and not a proposed rule — it is the administrative record HUD needs to reissue the same policy and survive the next lawsuit. Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
