On behalf of the Legislative Action Committee, I am pleased to announce that the Committee's video, Advocating for Amateur Radio, is posted on the Grassroots area of Members Only on the ARRL web site. This was made possible by Harold Kramer obtaining a compacted version of the rather large DVD file from the producer and the effort of Jon Bloom in getting the video loaded successfully onto Grassroots. The main concern was that the quality of the video be maintained nearly as intact as it is on the disk. This concern was met. The Committee appreciates the support of Harold and Jon in this effort. To view the video, one needs first to be registered to access Grassroots. At this moment, essentially the only people able to be registered are officers, Directors, Vice Directors, Division Legislative Action Chairs, state Legislative Action Coordinators and selected persons at HQ. One soon will be able to register Legislative Action Assistants according to the Congressional District or Senator to which/whom they are assigned. To view the video online, 1. Go to arrl.org 2. Go to Members Only 3. Go to Grassroots 4. Click on the link to Advocating for Amateur Radio Video under Training in the box in the upper right hand corner of the screen. The next item to appear on Grassroots is a special certificate that can be completed on line (similar to the certificates available to SMs) and printed. Once printed, the only additional step will be for the Director to sign it. DLACs and Directors are the only ones to have access to print the certificate. I'll let you know when the certificate becomes available and additional features about it.
