2016 is the 20th anniversary of my, ahem, legendary A Hams Night Before

in a studio, and it ran on Newsline and ARRL Audio News. Then I...

Today were pleased to present our new home page redesign. As many of you
may have noticed, the look and feel of our front page was starting to show
its age. In fact, it has been virtually unchanged for more than a decade.
This new layout provides the same great information as before but in a much
more intuitive and easy to navigate layout. Weve also made the page much
more visual with the use of graphics for headline topics. As everyone

Leaked WIA treasurer reports paint a damning picture of what is happening
within the WIA board, and seem to confirm what Chris Chapman has been

the WIA Secretary to call a special meeting to determine the fate of some
board members.
