----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the last time I was here with a

financial report I told you that I thought we had

enough in the bank to hold us over the summer

months of July to September, and that I would not

be asking for any contributions unless the sky

was falling.  Well I'm happy to say that the sky

didn't fall and that I was able to keep that

promise thanks to some frugal spending we made

it.

However, no matter how conservative ones spending

is, there are still ongoing expenses that have to

be met on a month to month basis, and as of now

it will be hard to meet the bills for October

that are piling up.

So this time, we are trying something a bit

different. Instead of waiting for the last

minute, were are asking bulletin stations to

spread the word that by the end of November we

need to raise about $900 to $1000 so that we will

be in a position to pay the all of the invoices,

and hopefully hold us through to the end of the

year.

To be candid, I do not like to lead off a

newscast with an appeal such as this, but we have

no other method of getting the word out to you

that we need your financial assistance to keep

Amateur Radio Newsline on the air.  To all of us

involved, each donation is looked upon as an

ongoing vote of confidence in the quality of the

news and information that we provide each week.

And for this I add my personal thank you.

Remember, Amateur Radio Newsline is a 501c3, not

for profit corporation and your donations are tax

deductible.  The easiest way to donate is by

going to our website at www.arnewsline.org and

clicking on the Pay Pal button down the page.  Or

you can mail a donation to the address you will

hear at the end of this weeks newscast.

Whichever method you choose, the all volunteer

Amateur Radio Newsline team says thank you so

much for caring.  We promise to do all that we

can to continue bringing you the news and

information you want to hear about amateur radio

and personal communications in the coming years.

Thank you.  I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF
