Re: [BVARC] Proposed by-law changes in the ARRL

Go to www.myARRLvoice.org All hams should read carefully and take action. It is imperative that ARRL be transparent and responsive to its members. It is my opinion that the proposed changes will take ARRL in the opposite direction. Simply saying “I won’t join or renew” isn’t an option.

Re: [BVARC] Need Concrete/Hole work done for a light Tower Base??

Carefully check the sack yield. Normal weight concrete is roughly 145 lbs/cu ft. Use greater than 3000 psi strength concrete. Do not add excess water. Rod the stiff mix into place. Note the 2 x 2 x 2 should be measured at least 6 inches below grade and so all surfaces are against firm to

I agree with K5HM. Now is not the time to abandon ARRL which is restricted in what they can do before losing their 501c3 status. ARRL provides a great resource. But they are not into the heavy politics required. WE do need to stop these bills before we screw ourselves. That means we must
