Hi, Some quick updates and follow ups: 1. LOTW, with the WAS Award fully implemented, will be launched next Monday, March 20, 2006. Dave S, Wayne, Eileen and I saw a demo of it today and Jon is just about finished. He is adding a few last minute features and corrections. We could have launched it this week, but we did not want to conflict with the "Hello" campaign launch. 2. Hugh Brower is working on granting all of you access to the web statistics that I sent out last week. 3. Thanks to Maria's inquiries, the FCC has given us permission to batch process Vanity calls. So, barring any unexpected bureaucratic pronouncements, we will begin processing them shortly. We are working on projections, processes etc before we make a formal announcement, although we did mention it briefly in last week's newsletter. 4. Our new Membership Manager, Katie Breen, started this morning. We are not announcing this on the web or newsletter just yet. There were some very nasty and personal comments both in email and on other web sites the last time that we posted that this position was filled. We'll wait at least until Katie gets her call sign and go from there. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The National Association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 860 594 0220 www.arrl.org/
