Hi,
FYI,
We just reached a co-marketing agreement with these folks from HamTestOnline. This is more of a strategic move for us than an economic one, since we have no equivalent on-line, interactive training package in our product mix. This is an easy and fun way to study for a new or upgrade a current license.
The business agreement is that in exchange for our promotion of their product, we will receive a small amount of money for each new subscriber that they add each month. We will also receive a lot of promotion on their site to reach folks upgrading their license and potential new licensees. I consider this a win-win for both of us.
I am forwarding a special offer to everyone on the Board from HamTestOnline. We have also made this offer to our employees. If anyone tries this service, Bob and I would be curious about what you think of it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: ARRL and HamTestOnline / Free Subscriptions
In April, ARRL established a partnership with HamTestOnline™. The company offers online training for the U.S. Amateur Radio written exams. In the coming months, you'll begin to see this online product mentioned where we advertise other license training products available from ARRL. We're hopeful that HamTestOnline will enjoy a successful place among ARRL's suite of training products.
HamTestOnline has extended a free subscription to ARRL staff and board members. We'd like to encourage anyone who is planning for a new license or upgrade to take advantage of this free subscription offering. Others may want to gain access to the free subscription to familiarize themselves with this product as we all begin to promote its availability.
The free subscription code is limited to staff and board members. You must also use a login email address that ends in @arrl.org.
If you'd like to take advantage of this free subscription, please contact Jean Wolfgang (jwolfgang@arrl.org). Jean will issue your subscription code, and provide you with first-time login instructions.
