Hi David With due respect, I think a determination for this should come from E&E with the ability for Mike to appeal this to the full Board if necessary. They may or may not agree with you but it needs to come from them. I don't really see anything in the rules that supports this. There is prohibition for mass communication at League expense and there is a prohibition specifically for QST. There is nothing for ARRL sanctioned events otherwise this would put the kibosh on pretty much any incumbents campaigning at hamfests or large ARRL sanctioned conventions. QSO today is paying for the convention, and not the ARRL, so this is not at League expense. But it really needs to come from E&E and the Board. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 1:16 PM Minster, David NA2AA (CEO) <dminster@arrl.org> wrote:

This isn’t intended to shut those running for office down! Go crush it!!! Go online, go to in person events, wear your badge proudly, etc. etc.
It is ONLY about the perception that ARRL HQ (which is what I am responsible for) is in some way promoting a candidate or playing favorites, etc.

Interesting thread.
I was just getting ready to submit my proposed presentation to QSO Today about doing HF mobile from a Cessna 170B. The Central Division has elections this year, so as it stands right now I guess I won't submit this.
I'm also scheduled to give many Zoom and in-person presentations after July 1 mostly about solar and propagation topics to clubs/conventions in the Central Division and elsewhere. Several of the big ones are W8DXCC in late August, W9DXCC in mid September and the Antenna Applications Symposium (Univ of Illinois/Penn State) in late September. What about these?
