[NJARC] The NJARC Broadcaster Needs Your Help

[oldradio at comcast.net]

Today, most radio people have and use computers.  If a member has and uses a computer, then they should get the on-line version.  I think it only fair that they do, or pay a surcharge.  If a member chooses not to own a computer, then the surcharge would be appropriate.  Many clubs do this.

Exceptions should/could be made for those who are disabled and are unable to receive the newsletter on-line.

We are fortunate to have a great editor, and have for many years.  We should not burden him with creating two versions of newsletters.

73, John Dilks, K2TQN

Dear Member:

At one time, prior to going "on-line," the printing cost for the NJARC 
Broadcaster was $145 a month.  After going on-line and with the addition of a 
discount I received from work, the cost got down to $26 per month.  This also 
included 25 additional issues for handouts, etc.  
FedEx will no longer accept my discount.  To cut costs, I used Staples for 
the September issue and cut down the "extra" copies to 5.  The cost was $62. 
 Therefore, the Broadcaster printing cost will now cost the club over $400 
a year extra.
It is therefore imperative that, if you possibly can do it, on-line 
delivery is the way to decrease our costs (and also reduce your editor's work time 
in sending out the Broadcaster by mail).  To help in this effort, I will 
also publish this appeal in the October Broadcaster.
A few of you have suggested that we only offer the Broadcaster on-line or 
add a surcharge to dues for mail delivery.  I'm afraid, unless voted on by 
the Board,  I can't accept such a requirement.  Members have the right to 
receive the Broadcaster by any method it is convenient for them.  However, with 
enough of an appeal, I'm sure many members will switch to e-mail delivery.
Finally, if you receive the September Broadcaster by mail, I apologize for 
the quality of the pictures.  I told Staples to print from the Publisher 
version but they used the PDF which reduces picture quality somewhat.

Thanks,
Marv
