On the ARRL web page I see a new button whose function I don't understand. At the left side of the the aqua-colored box that says "Amateur Radio News" (above the news stories) there is a little rectangular red button that says "RSS." If I click on it, I get a page of html source code that lists a bunch of the news story titles. Anybody know what this button is supposed to be doing? 73 - Kay N3KN
