Order Your Field Day Shirts/Caps/Pins Now Print E-mail
Friday, 22 April 2011 18:40

The Club is now taking orders for Field Day tee shirts, caps and pins. It seems like a long time until Field Day but it will be here before you know it!

Be sure to mark June 23rd and 24th on your calendar NOW!

This year it's planned to place the order on May 15, the day after the 1st meeting in May.

You can order three different ways. Pay N5OVH or W5AJ at a club meeting or Saturday morning meeting or send a check with a note of what you want to MARC, P.O. Box 4401, Midland, TX 79704 or online with PayPal. The shirts are $15.00, the caps are $10.00, and the pins are $5.00. However, if you order online the shirts are $15.50, the caps are $10.50, and the pins are $5.40. This is so the club doesn't lose money with the PayPal fee. All orders must be paid in advance.

The shirts are NEW Pocket Tee! this year.

Digital QST is Coming Soon! Print E-mail
Tuesday, 20 March 2012 09:57

Two new ARRL membership benefits that will be introduced in June 2012. In addition to the print copy of QST, all members will have access to an online, digital edition of QST at no extra cost. You will be able to access QST from anywhere--on nearly any computer, laptop, mobile device, smartphone and tablet (including Apple iPad, iPhone, and devices using the Android operating system).

Also in June, members will gain access to archived issues of QST from December 1915 to the present (previously, only issues through 2007 were available to members). If you are familiar with the current periodicals archive (which serves images of pages), that platform will be expanded to include all of QST from December 1915 through December 2011. A second, new archive will be introduced for issues beginning January 2012, featuring enhanced functionality including full-text search.

Of course, to take advantage of these benefits you have to be an ARRL member. Not a member? Join through MARC today. Just click here!
