Tnx Dave, As a former long time ACC, I appreciate what an important tool this is for the section staff. Looking forward to additional club resources on the website. 73, Jeff Beals WA4AW It is now possible to get a list of the ARRL affiliated clubs in a section, with detailed information and sorted in several different ways, directly from the Web site. The information can be displayed in three different ways: on the screen, as a list of hyperlinks, and as a PDF. The list of hyperlinks is a very useful way to go directly to the information on a specific club. If you go to www.arrl.org/big-club-list you will see the search screen. It is labeled BETA; we are not aware of any bugs but don’t want to remove the label until more people have had a chance to use it. Please feel free to play with and let me know of any problems you encounter. This is a big step toward giving back to the section leadership the tools they need, but we know there is more work to do. Barring something unexpected (i.e. a glaring problem we haven’t yet detected) we’ll extend the same invitation to SMs before the end of the week. 73, Dave K1ZZ ____________________________________________________________ Mortgage Rates Hit 2.67%!

Grass-roots newsletter plan
by Kay Craigie 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

An electronic newsletter for members interested in the grass-roots legislative action program was originally scheduled to begin before the end of 2010. Recently, Dave Sumner, Dan Henderson, and I discussed the merits of starting the newsletter in 2010, during the lame-duck phase of the 111th Congress when nothing much is likely to happen, versus the idea of starting the newsletter in January, 2011, when the 112th Congress convenes and the Board adopts the legislative objectives for that session of Congress. Starting the new newsletter in the same month as the new session of Congress and the adoption of the updated set of ARRL legislative objectives made the best strategic sense to me. All three of us agreed to do it this way, but of course the ultimate responsibility for the decision to postpone starting the newsletter was mine. The changes in Washington and the League's revised legislative objectives will yield the kind of newsletter content that will get members' attention and prepare them for action as our legislative action plans develop. 73 - Kay N3KN

Section club list is liveThis is going to be a HANDY tool! A hardy THANK YOU to the staff for rolling this out. I'd ask for one more sort option (I guess it's a search option with a sort order.) Rather than doing two searches, one for active clubs and another for inactive ones, I'd love an option that allows me to have both on one list and have them flagged (in each record) as inactive (or as active, or both.) After that, being able to sort by active/inactive would be nice. Actually, while I'm wishing, having the ability to sort on two fields would be awesome! An example of this might be to sort by Active/Inactive, and then by city to see how many clubs are in a city and how many of those are 'inactive' with the idea of seeing if a population was under served or over served as an explanation of why the clubs died off, or need some support to get more active. The only other data I'd love to have is the date that the club listing was last "active" for the inactive clubs (as opposed to the last update date), and a note about why it went 'inactive' if known. An option to dump to a comma delimited text file so I can do further sorting or searching would be nice too, but I suspect that's more messing than the above requests are. 73, Grant KB7WSD Also, in doing some searches, I noticed several clubs that actually use the call of the club president or contact person. This doesn't seem like a good (or sensible) practice. Any thoughts on this? -----Original Message----- From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 12:08 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: Section club list is live It is now possible to get a list of the ARRL affiliated clubs in a section, with detailed information and sorted in several different ways, directly from the Web site.

The message has been out there for more than 8 hours and the only people we’ve heard from about it are arrl.org addressees.
