Hi, A few weeks ago, Director Norton suggested that we publish a printed version of the latest edition of the Radio Waves newsletter. After due consideration, we have slightly re-formatted the e-newsletter and published it as a full color printed version. This printed piece highlights our commitment to provide relevant, timely and useful information about Amateur Radio to instructors and teachers. These pieces should be useful as handouts to legislators, educators, stakeholders, and members. Dan Henderson has already sent some of them to Keelen for this purpose. They are bundled in wrapped packages of 10 per pack. If you would like us to send you some packages, just let Debra or me know how many you need. For your information, I have pasted below Debra's original email that was sent to the Board when the electronic version of the newsletter was first issued. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B ARRL Chief Operating Officer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johnson, Debra K1DMJ Here's a description of the newsletter: The purpose of ARRL's e-newsletter for Instructors and Teachers is to provide information that will help you with your licensing or classroom instruction and to share experiences and stories of other instructors and teachers that may offer ideas for you to incorporate in your activities. We provide the information in newsletter format direct to your mailbox as a convenience for you. We've just published our Fall 2015 issue of Radio Waves.
