The new ARRL News Editor we selected in early March, to follow the recent retirement of Rick Lindquist, resigned a couple of days later after citing a previously undisclosed health challenge. We have selected another candidate to fill the position. We're pleased to welcome John E. Ross, KD8IDJ, of Columbus, Ohio as our new ARRL News Editor. John has been training with Bob Inderbitzen and members of the editorial team for the last 3 weeks. He has already produced the last 2 editions of the ARRL Letter, and last Thursday's ARRL Audio News. John will also produce news content for ARRL's website, and the "Happenings" and "Amateur Radio World" columns in QST. An Extra class licensee, for the past 10 years, John has served as the Public Information Coordinator for the ARRL Ohio Section. His background includes journalist and broadcast engineer. An OSU graduate, he had dual careers as Vice President/Associate for Wilson Group Communications, a Columbus-based public relations, media relations, and crisis management firm. He recently retired from AT&T after 28 years as a Network Analyst. He is a US Army and US Army Reserve veteran, and is a six-time recipient of the President's Volunteer Service Award for helping disabled and homeless veterans. Submissions for The ARRL Letter and ARRL News can be sent to John via news@arrl.org<mailto:news@arrl.org>. Thanks David
