Thank, Ed. I didn't see the EDIT button in the upper right corner of the page. I'll let the member know to check that box. I now have that option enabled on my own profile. In seven more years I'll know if it works! ;-) 73; Mike W7VO

This is getting interesting.... Why doesn't my profile page have the ability to opt in or out for "Notification of license expiration" , as Dr. Boehner's does? I showed you all a copy of what's on my Profile page for OPT IN/OUT.

There is something I'm not seeing, somewhere..... I looked at all the profile setting pages, and there is nothing I can easily find to turn on that particular "feature".

Tom is correct- Here are my choices on the opt in/ opt out page:

Email

ARES E-Letter

ARRL Board meeting agendas and minutes

ARRL Club News - (monthly notification)

ARRL Current - (monthly digital notification)

ARRL Legislative Update

ARRL Letter

Division and Section News

Notification of license expiration

Publication Announcements and Special Offers

W1AW - DX

W1AW - General/Special

W1AW - Propagation

There is a notification of license expiration.

I do not remember an ARRL notification in 2020, but I probably did not give them enough time. I had my calendar set for 90 days prior to expiration and renewed via FCC ULS on the first day I could do so.

Since the upgrade, there is not a direct link to your profile page under your login. I miss that link. It is a bit more difficult to have members navigate to their opt in/opt out page.

Mike,

I believe I remember that you have to select the license renew request in your webpage account profile. No check mark, no license renewal notice.

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 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!
