Hi All. Welcome to the monthly QST ARRL-in-Action column solicitation. I'm heading out on vacation the first half of this month, and will return Oct. 14. But that doesn't mean you can't still send me positive items of ARRL service to members! I really appreciate the reports I've received from you. It's good for the League to let members know that their dues provide so much more for them than a magazine subscription. Anything that shows how ARRL is working for the good of ARRL members and the Amateur Radio Service as a whole is most welcome. So, with that, I am asking for word of anything out there that you personally, or someone in your Division or office, is doing directly for a member, or the membership in general. So, anything that is a direct helping action and promotes League action or materials is great for this column. Some recent examples of items include: * helping out at a Big Project pilot school * responding to an RFI jurisdiction issue * getting materials to a remote club * informing state and national officials on ham radio or BPL * an OO team solving a particularly tough interference problem. Or maybe something else, big or small? If it's something the League is doing on behalf of its membership, then it's fair game and I'm all ears! My deadline this month is Oct. 14 for the December issue. My direct e-mail is k7ccc@arrl.org. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. 73, Dave Hassler, K7CCC Assistant News Editor QST Magazine and ARRLWeb
