Brian raised an interesting point -- i.e. the colors used on the new web site. Being numbered among the approximately 8% of the population that is red-green color blind, I often have difficulty in especially in distinguishing between shades of different colors (e.g. is it a pale green or a pale brown?). Fortunately I am not profoundly red-green blind. Even so, difficulty in differentiating between shades used on the new web site is old hat for me and is not limited to the site. I suspect that for many color blind people, the new site's glorious Technicolor hues do not represent an improvement over the old site. Using shades of colors that are more contrasty certainly would be beneficial to me. To others? I would think so. Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director ARRL Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd.

It is indeed there, but I can see how the link -- given its color -- blends in with the rest of the text in the story, making it seem that there are no links to click on. I wonder if a different color would be better than the sorta powder blue that looks like black. Another option would be to make the links bold so they stand out. Or underlined. 73, Brian N5ZGT On Mon, 16 Aug 2010, Cliff Ahrens wrote:

Try the "has been posted" link in the article. Then in "Other Reports" click on "2010 Field Day". Then click on "Logs Received as of August 13". Or try this direct link: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20-%20General/Logs%20Received/A ug%201 3%20Logs%20Rcvd%20Merged.pdf

It's just a list of the logs received, not the results, yet. Hope this helps.

Perhaps I still don't know how to properly navigate the entire new ARRL website...

In response to the latest news posting "Field Day Logs Posted", I went looking for the results and can not find them. I started with the "On The Air" button on the home page and ended up with the contest results list menu. The "2009 ARRL Field Day" is an available selection, but "2010 ARRL Field Day" is not listed as of five minutes ago.

We should not post these news items until the referenced news or data is verified as being available on the web site. All this does is to increase member unhappiness with the ARRL web site. How about some coordination of this activity!?!?
