Quoting from an ARRL news release

... On Saturday, May 17 at the Dayton Hamvention, ARRL President
... Joel Harrison, W5NZ, plans to announce that the League will expand
... its identity program to include greater emphasis on technology.
... Harrison explained that "Ham radio operators, and particularly
... ARRL members, closely identify with current and emerging radio
... technology. Today, we are naming 'technology' as ARRL's new
... fifth pillar."

If ARRL will put enough weight into this idea that it can gain traction, I feel
this may be the key to a renewed health for our hobby.

What can we do to help?
