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 ?

                               Thank You

                                73, Kermit W9XA

Hi Dan,
 
Thanks for doing this. 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 of QST, 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, at www.arrl.org/sections. This web URL will appear on page 16 of QST.
 
These changes will be implemented with the February 2018 issue of QST.
