Read more about the 40th Anniversary of Amateur Radio in Human Spaceflight, ARISS-USA Executive Director Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, covers history between ham radio and human spaceflight in “Celebrating 40 Years of Amateur Radio on Human Spaceflight Missions” in the Feb. issue of #QST
I'm listening to this #RATPAC presentation on the #ARRL and I'm finding it all quite discouraging. All I know is this: I can't abide a CEO who thinks providing #blind members only #QST summaries rather than full articles like everyone else constitutes #accessibility diversity and inclusion. I'm still a member, but I think it is long past major organizational cultural change so that everyone feels included rather than left out. #AmateurRadio#HamRadio
It appears the #ARRL is busy stirring up a hornet's nest, they apparently are going to start charging their Life Members for paper copies of #QST... $48/year. Lots of those Life Members specifically subscribed assuming they would get the magazine for free. #hamradio
Good bye, paper #QST. I am one of those LMs the Pres (not the CEO) takes a bit of a shot at ... but not to worry as I've already opted out of the paper QST as its value had dropped over time. Making all 4 pubs available to all members electronically, was one of the few good choices the BOD has made lately. Now that the BOD has made paper QST optional, it will be gone in 5 years or less.
