Although there are indications that a bulk ARRL mail system will be activated in March that will allow ARRL Directors and Section Managers to send emails to members, the system is not yet online.

Prior to the Mary 2024 ransomware attack, I could post a Section Newsletter and it would go out automatically to 2812 ARRL members in NC. Please forward this newsletter to members of your club or group as well as to others you think may be interested.

Best wishes to each of you.
