FYI,
There is a SCAM email going around purportedly from the ARRL (Copy below).
They are aware of it, so just delete it.
I would say, if this piece of garbage was concocted at the ARRL, they have
serious problems within their HR department. The sentence structure, use of
verbs, adverbs, nouns, adjectives, participles, past participles, placement
of the subject (and whatever else I have long since forgotten in my old age)
is atrocious; maybe a repeat of K1 though K6 grammar would be in order for
the author!!!
