    ARRL "Please Renew" Books?

    What is the ARRL currently offering as a renewal incentive, book-wise?

    It's getting close to my yearly dues payment and I might've already received all the "free" books.

    If they've been giving out renewal freebies, I've been missing out.

    Dear Newington,

    I'll gladly renew - sans books or other freebies - if you quit pushing that d@mned EmComm/WinLink agenda of yours down our collective throats.

    But absolutely not until.

    I wouldn't know on this one. Haven't been a member for more years than I can remember?

    A couple of weeks before your subscription is up, you should get a post card with book offers for renewing. I've been getting a free repeater directory for years by using this method. :)

    They promised me an antenna book when I renewed in March. Still waiting . It's usually a choice of about 4 books , and I usually get the antenna one , and wind up losing it , or giving it away . Used to enjoy the emails with pix of the little cutie that was membership chairman a couple years ago . I hear she moved to Montana or something .

    Contact League Hq and ask them what the status of the book is. It usually takes a few weeks, but 2 months is pushing it. Oh, and CC your Division Director on it.

    I've had that happen with some of the promotions in the past. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. But a reminder has always gotten it for me, usually with an apology.

    Oh speaking of that "little cutie"...

    Eh.. Every time I get the renewal notice, I'm conflicted as to whether or not I'm going to renew. I usually do because QST is something to flip thru on the train or between classes. That's not an endorsement of the content or even their "amateur radio advocacy", but there aren't many periodicals I actually care to read. :)

    Advertisements for radios I can't afford and have no room to operate..
