Jay, the story had a lot more than nine lines, and more photos. Check again. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/07/19/3/?nc=1 You may be thinking of the brief story Rick put up when the meeting got underway.

The stories about educators talking to the ISS astronauts and the ARISS repeater had better graphics and more space. For that matter just about every story in the past week was more eye-catching. There was more information about the meeting in Tuck Miller's piece on Pasternak's "Amateur Radio Newsline" and he wasn't even there. I was under the impression that when we pulled the Board minutes for QST that a real effort would be made to keep members apprised of Board activities. If ARRL is truly the National Association of Amateur Radio and we are serious about trying to keep members informed, interested and engaged in nuts and bolts Amateur issues, our Web Page, as well as, QST ought to reflect that belief. 73, Jay, KØQB
