Section Manager Remailer
The ARRL has made a useful service available to ARRL Members in Mississippi, who have an ARRL registered e-mail address. W5XX can send information through the ARRL Server which will then be rebroadcast to the 600 (out of about 950) ARRL Members in Mississippi, who have registered their e-mail addresses with the ARRL. This can be of great benefit to advertise hamfests, club meetings, special events, etc. at no cost. To take advantage of this service, send a plain text message to w5xx@arrl.org, and after review, he will send it on to the ARRL Server, if the content is appropriate. Contact w5xx@arrl.org for more information.
Breland Award
Information on the 2009 award will be announced by the Jackson ARC. For more information contact K5BLL at k5bll@arrl.net
