The 4th quarter #ARRL Roanoke Division newsletter is available at: https://www.arrl-roanoke.com/Newsletters/RK-Newsletter-Dec-2025.pdf

In which Division Vice Director N2COP reverses the previous anti-GMRS position he bull-shittedly expressed to me when I inquired why we weren’t in coalition with those operators to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act.

Considerable time and money has been spent on the campaign response database to integrate
Amateur Radio callsigns with the correct corresponding congressional elected officials. This proved especially nettlesome when a U.S. House of Representatives congressional district was split within the same zip code. You're correct that it would be nice if affiliated radio services would join in our campaign, such as GMRS, FRS and CB.
Please keep in mind that ARRL's Articles of Association and status as a 501[c](3) is to represent the community of those who hold
Amateur Radio licenses under Part 97 of the FCC.
Other radio services do not qualify under our charter, and advocating for them could run the risk of jeopardizing our nonprofit status. They are welcomed to submit their own comments on our behalf but soliciting that support could prove a violation of ARRL's charter. Also, many government emergency management agencies are prohibited under law from advocating for specific legislation. ARRL is reaching out to ARES organizations to join the campaign, but we have received polite refusals from government emergency management agencies because they cannot get involved.

Also thanks to new board member Ron #N8TEN who is taking over as activities coordinator from Dinesh @AB3DC .

The new board was elected by acclimation and was met with thunderous applause, i.e. no one else wanted to run.

I finally updated my Awards page on my blog from #ARRL #LoTW and it looks like I'm three (3) states away from #WAS on #12m (digital)!

(I had not updated this page in a *year*, lol)

Ever wonder what it looks like when you are torn between watching the ARRL Teacher's Institute Telethon stream from Ham Radio Crash Coarse or follow epic snow fall headed your way? Welp, here is what it looks like when I do it.

I am reading through the #ARRL "Public Information Officer" role here

https://www.arrl.org/public-information-officer

What strikes me about everything on the list of what is expected of the task is dependent on a fully functioning commercial news media ecosystem, which is not something that is thriving locally. In particular the local daily newspaper is a husk of its former self.

In the era of social media you might come with a different "PIO" set of tasks for engaging with The Public. What would those be?

Got the 10 year #ARRL membership certificate today. I didn't even know they sent those out.

Is this the kind of thing my membership fees are going toward? I would rather they lower the fee and stop sending crap like that out.
