<div>Hello all:</div>

</div>
<div>This is off topic, but many seem concerned enough, that
I wanted to share a few links that point to some very
important activities at ARRL, especially with regard to an
upcoming board meeting in January that could change the
way that members are represented in the ARRL.</div>
<div><br>

<div>If you haven't followed it, here are some informative
links.</div>

</div>
<div><span>Many members, as well as clubs, are writing to
the directors, officers, and vice directors of ARRL, to
ask them to keep the ARRL as a membership- based
organization with transparency.</span></div>
