Hi,
I definitely think ARRL is worth being a part of. The magazine is available from NLS as a dñload from BARD.
The Arrl certainly works to keep the Spectrum we have and is a great source of in=mation.
The NTS or National Traffic Sÿstem is also very worthwhilewh
We can also do a lot in ! area of Emergenc Communications.
It has been my privilege to be a part of the ARRL since 1992 when I got my license.
