[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

[arrl-odv:35566] How Cold is Cold?

The cold in Newington could be worse. I almost feel warm, even after shoveling snow today, after reading this from a guest-op in Montana for last weekend’s NAQP contest: “The temperature at home showed -37F at departure. The fog on the highway was really brutal, even if the roads were generally decent. I stopped to get gas in Butte just to be safe in case I had a break down and needed to stay warm, but all of the gas pumps were shut down at both truck stops due to the cold. I learned that my truck temperature gauge stops at -31F and doesn't go any lower. I went over 2 hours without a temperature reading that registered above -31F. A quick search online shows it was -45F officially through some of the drive. I arrived about 1.5 hours before the contest, and Pat informed me that the antenna switching was frozen. Local temp: -38F.” Looking forward to seeing you all in a day or two, travel safely. 73, Dave K3ZJ
