    ARRL Systems Service Disruption

06/06/2024

*Updated 6/6/2024*

We are aware that certain members believe we should be openly 
communicating everything associated with this incident. We are working 
with industry experts, including cyber crime attorneys and the 
authorities, who have directed us to be conservative and cautious with 
our communications while restoring the ARRL network.

ARRL’s association membership system was not impacted by this attack. 
Members can renew online at www.arrl.org/join or by phoning ARRL. 
Additionally, the online ARRL Store is operating as normal. ARRL Field 
Day merchandise is still available for immediate shipping. Please see 
this latest news 
<https://www.arrl.org/news/2024-arrl-field-day-2-weeks-away-free-shipping-on-fd-merch>story 
about ARRL Field Day.

The digital edition <http://www.arrl.org/magazines>of the July 2024 
issue of /QST/ will be available as scheduled, on Friday, June 7. The 
print edition will go to press on Monday, June 10. Members may also 
access digital editions of /QST/ dating back to 2012, and current and 
previous issues of /On the Air/, /QEX/, and /NCJ/ magazines back to 2020.

As previously reported, the ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator is 
processing Amateur Radio License applications received from Volunteer 
Examiners who completed candidate exam sessions. As of June 6, our staff 
are processing applications from exams given on May 22.

As previously reported, W1AW, the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station is 
fully operational <https://www.arrl.org/w1aw-operating-schedule>with 
voice, CW, and digital bulletins, code practice, and qualifying runs 
<https://www.arrl.org/qualifying-run-schedule>. The station continues to 
welcome visiting operators <https://www.arrl.org/visit-us>during normal 
visiting hours.

The ARRL June VHF Contest <https://www.arrl.org/june-vhf>is June 8 – 10, 
2024. Online log submission will be supported as usual. The log 
submission function was similarly supported for the recent ARRL Digital 
Contest <https://www.arrl.org/arrl-digital-contest>, held June 1 – 2.

The publication of most ARRL e-newsletters, including the weekly ARRL 
Letter, has resumed with minimal disruption to regular schedules. A new 
platform for emailing newsletters has been implemented, leading to some 
variations in layout.
