Another change I noticed: At the bottom, it now says "ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio". I am pretty sure that had been "ARRL, the National Association for Amateur Radio (TM)"

I dont care, i know 1 thing, i notice this at the very bottom



Website by FATHOM (http://www.fathom.net/)

Any organization that cant create and maintain their own website, is defintly one that im not gonna become a member of. I dont know how the ARRL can do the stuff they do, your not suppose to be able to make money off from being a ham, but the ARRL is basicly made of all hams and they make money.

Creating and maintaining a quality website requires resources. Would you rather pay full time staff to build and maintain a site, and be responsible for their pay, benefits, and pension; or outsource it and pay a company to build the website then hand over the reigns? It's a financial matter.

Hams as individuals are not allowed to make money. The ARRL is not an individual, and furthermore it is a 501(c)(3) organization, meaning it's structured as a non-profit. The Hams employed there are not using the Amateur service at work for profit, and furthermore, if they were, under a provision in Part 97 they could receive compensation because they work 40 hours/week.

You can't be serious.

Just goes to prove that all our senseless kvetching on various forums never, EVER does any good.

Has anyone else notices the new ARRL Website takes forever to load up or is it just my computer?

Sorry. It's just you.

That's what I thought.
