Brendan, NW1S, and Joe, NV1W, will be on hand to answer questions and help introduce you to amateur radio in the great outdoors. There will even be prizes for accomplishments things like most contacts made, farthest contact, and most Technician bands used. Afterwards there will be a social event of food and drinks. You may park at a lower parking lot and hike the short path to the summit. The Boston Amateur Radio club is attempting to organize a car to bring those who cannot or wish to not walk the distance to the summit. Further information on the Blue Hills can be found at https://friendsofthebluehills.org. Please email Brendan, NW1S at nw1s.brendan at gmail.com if you're planning to attend.

Several ballot-counting sessions took place at HQ during my tenure there. These are closely monitored by an outside (i.e., non-ARRL) auditor with no affiliation to any candidate to make sure the counting goes according to ARRL's rules and that the results are accurate. Suffice it to say, numerous other safeguards are in place. To find errors that would overcome a 93-vote difference between the top two candidates would be unthinkable, IMO. In my some 25 years associated with ARRL, I have never even heard of a Director/Vice Director election being disputed.

Several ballot-counting sessions took place at HQ during my tenure there. These are closely monitored by an outside (i.e., non-ARRL) auditor with no affiliation to any candidate to make sure the counting goes according to ARRL's rules and that the results are accurate. Suffice it to say, numerous other safeguards are in place. To find errors that would overcome a 93-vote difference between the top two candidates would be unthinkable, IMO. In my some 25 years associated with ARRL, I have never even heard of a Director/Vice Director election being disputed.

You can activate FB #2 by depressing the DTMF key #1. A short depress will activate it if you are close enough. FB2 is transmitting at 1 watt into a tall ducky antenna.?the location is in a publicly accessible area with nearby parking and can be heard along RT.57 in Agawam/Feeding Hills?This is a good opportunity for base stations to get in on the fun. If you can hear the fox please give its signal strength and direction if possible.?Please do not reveal its location, just a location where you can hear it from, this then becomes a starting point for the other fox hunters to use. It's just as important for the hunters to know where it CANNOT be heard as well as where it CAN be heard!
