Hi, 1. The FCC has now fixed the software bug in their ULS (Universal Licensing System) and new licenses and upgrades are being processed as usual. 2. Many of you have asked about new PowerPoint graphics for the 5th Pillar. Sorry for the delay. These should be ready next week and I will mail the templates to the entire ODV list. We were a bit jammed up in the graphics department since week since the Oct. QST deadline is today. The Oct issue will be our first Radiosport Special Edition. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 Telephone: 860 594 0220 email: hkramer@arrl.org web: www.arrl.org/ <http://www.arrl.org/>
