[arrl-odv:35585] ARRL Historical Committee Virtual Museum - link to temporary website
by Propper, David, K2DP (VD, MW) 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

All, Below is the link to the temporary website of the ARRL Historical Committee’s Virtual Museum Website. As you learned during yesterday’s Board meeting, this will eventually be linked through a web page and “button” on the ARRL website. Clicking on the link below will take you to the front page of the museum. Clicking on any of the large boxes (categories, such as “kits”) on this front page will take you into the pages for that category of artifact (equipment, books, etc). While there are currently 1781 items uploaded to the museum website, remember that this is a living virtual museum that is expanding with additional entries on a weekly basis. The museum will eventually contain entries for equipment, non-equipment historical artifacts, books, audio and video clips of individuals and events significant to the history of amateur radio. https://hub.catalogit.app/8781 Have fun exploring the museum’s content to date. Thank you all for your support of this project. 73, Dave, K2DP Dave Propper, K2DP Member, ARRL Programs and Services Committee Board Liaison, ARRL RF Safety Committee Chair, ARRL Historical Committee ARRL Midwest Division Vice Director 314-225-5167 (mobile) k2dp(a)arrl.org<mailto:k2dp@arrl.org>

[arrl-odv:35572] Gordon West books
by Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Boad members, I am pleased to communicate that we will be announcing today that ARRL is now the publisher of the Gordon West family of amateur radio license prep products. We are very excited about Gordon now coming on as our National Instructor. He has great ideas about expanding the ARRL network of instructors and growing the ranks of new hams. The decades long relationship between Gordon and Bob Inderbitzen has made the post-closing discussions go extremely well. This was a very long process that took significant work. Bob Inderbitzen was excellent managing a continuing dialog with Master Publishing to bring the cost of the transaction down to where we had been advised its market value should be. When talks had completely stalled and we were parting ways, I was able to ask Director Fred Kemmerer to step in as a fresh face at the negotiating table to restart the dialog and get things moving again. This never would have happened without his careful and caring interaction with Master Publishing. Finally, we could not have closed the transaction without Diane Middleton spending many hours with Master Publishing establishing and explaining the legal and financial terms and agreeing on the logistics of moving inventory between the parties. This exercise went quicker than we had been advised it might take, and I credit the great work of the team in closing the deal successfully. We are expecting that this will become an important brand in helping us grow the revenue of our publications business. It will also build bench strength in these kinds of transactions in the future where we look for more opportunities to grow revenue and service the amateur radio market. We are contacting dealers now and will publish a press release later in the day and also feature in the ARRL Letter tomorrow. Thanks David
