Promoting and protecting amateur radio requires a strong and vibrant ARRL. Paying our dues (and some of you go above and beyond) is one way each of us does our part. In my column in the April issue of QST (read now<https://www.arrl.org/files/file/Membership/Making%20a%20Big%20Decision%20Together%20-%20April%202023%20QST.pdf>), I introduced the following question: How does ARRL handle an increase in dues? On May 1, we will launch an online survey, inviting all ARRL members to participate. The survey will include some short questions about raising dues and modifying the way some membership benefits are bundled. The survey will also include an opportunity to share your feedback. The participation of every member is important. Do this before May 1: Review your ARRL website account Before you can take the survey in May, you'll need to make sure you have a working ARRL website account that is associated with your membership. Follow these steps: 1. Go to www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey<http://www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey>. This is a member-only page. 2. If you are already logged in to your account, you'll see CONGRATULATIONS! on the members-only page that will host the survey in May. 3. If you are NOT already logged in to your account, follow the instructions on the page to log in. Or, select the Login button at the top of the web page, and you will be prompted to enter your ARRL website username (usually your call sign) and password. If you have not logged in since April 2022, please use these Login Instructions<https://www.arrl.org/login-instructions>. 4. The survey will open on May 1. Return to this web page to take the survey on, or after, May 1: www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey<http://www.arrl.org/take-dues-survey>. If you need additional help with your login, call us Monday - Thursday from 8 AM to 7 PM ET, and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM ET at 860-594-0200 or email us at membership@arrl.org<mailto:membership@arrl.org>. We'll send an update on May 1 once the survey is live. Thank you for being a member and collaborating on this big decision. 73 David A.
