Fred,
The format looks good to me… I assume that the callsign area will accommodate 6 character callsigns with a slightly smaller font.
The logo and white background color look fine to me.
Just poking thru the postings and thought I would attempt to offer a quick translation of the audio toned part of the message:

My wife got a chuckle when I played the video… 🙂

At a recent rally, a ham radio reported asked Hillary if she knew about the Bengali key. She retorted, “I said all I’m going to say about Benghazi.” The reporter was then invited to leave.
membership is $49 per year. Any thought of a membership without the physical QST magazine, only the Digital QST edition for a lower annual cost?
Thanks for the inclusion of your thoughts, Fred. I would like to specifically add to your point 1.
Currently, many kids may know how to “use” technology, when in reality I’m betting the average number of them just use it for social media purposes, or entities like Spotify, Skype, or Google Docs; not super-dooper brain-powered stuff.
It’d be nice to hear Tom’s thoughts on strategies he and ARRL have to disentangle kids’ drive towards technology in the form of social media etc. and redirect it towards an almost legitimate understanding and use of technology (call it the maker movement for the sake of argument, which would include amateur radio). Furthermore, what does Tom see as arguments one makes to the parents of these kids, who are the ultimate arbiters of judging the usefulness of their child’s time.
For other club members, please add your thoughts to this thread. So I encourage you to:
- Get a nice cup of iced (or hot) coffee and perhaps a tasty treat to go right along with it.
- Enjoy that tasty treat with your beverage, presumably in a cooled A/C room.
- While enjoying that treat, send me a quick note with your thoughts for Tom’s visit.
- Cue overwhelming sense of contentment from sneaking in that treat before dinner and helping out AB1ZO 🙂
I’m going to try to make it. Â I’m visiting an old college friend on Saturday near Vermont’s Northern border and plan to go to the park on Sunday.
I think we pretty well covered Jeff’s questions in our code class. If you get a chance please join us when you are in town…
