Kermit, good point about the snail mail but keeping the email and phone number. If we need to cut, seems the mailing address could go. I think Jim, and maybe someone else, said something similar, so perhaps keeping the phone number and email will suffice. Good feedback by all and I'm sure Tom will have a response after giving the comments on ODV some thought. 73 Rick - K5UR ... -----Original Message----- From: Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> To: Henderson, Dan N1ND <dhenderson@arrl.org>; arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Wed, Dec 13, 2017 3:41 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:26843] Re: FW: Upcoming QST page 16 changes Hello - While I am encouraged by the recent publication changes to QST, I would urge caution in raising rankor with our SM's. The street address is probably no longer needed as long as the email address is listed since nobody actually posts a "snail mail" response in this day and age. Besides that address information is available online. Although the pulp for the page #16 information does come at a cost, the elimination of the telephone number is a change I suggest will not be welcome by the Section Managers and it might make sense to keep that available in QST. Would it be possible not to eliminate the phone number listings for SMs ?

Text is below. Becky In an effort to continue to streamline the print edition of QST and to drive members to digital resources that are more efficient to access and maintain, we will be making changes to page 16 ofQST, which lists the Section Managers by Division. Given that almost all communications by members to ARRL representatives is electronic, the postal mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the Section Managers will no longer appear on page 16. We will run only the Section Manager’s name, call sign, and arrl.org e-mail address. Postal mailing addresses and telephone numbers will still be available through the Section Manager listings on the ARRL website, atwww.arrl.org/sections. This web URL will appear on page 16 ofQST. These changes will be implemented with the February 2018 issue ofQST. _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
