I had a local ham report that ARRL did not notify him of his upcoming license expiration. As his expiration was three weeks away, I suggested he phone the ARRL VEC immediately Monday AM. He did and they quickly processed his renewal.

Despite the glitch, he did let me know that he was quite pleased with the response.

However, it appears something is broken.

A member accidently let his amateur license lapse, and was wondering why the FCC didn't send him a renewal notice before it expired. I explained that one to him, (the "Paperwork Reduction Act"), then he wondered why he also didn't get a renewal notice from ARRL. I couldn't explain that one. Here's what he sent me:

Incidentally, I just did a google search, (which brings up another issue...) where ARRL says on their website that expiration notices are a "benefit of membership"... see http://www.arrl.org/expiration-notices

It doesn't specify email or snail mail, but the wording suggests snail mail.

If that's no longer the case, that page needs to be updated. I may have received one but I don't think I did.

Is this something that Personify broke, or is this an anomaly? I haven't had any other questions about it, but was wondering.

Anybody else on ODV had recent issues with this?

Thanks!
