Hi Gang,
I hope you have all recovered from this great weekend we
had. Yes, it was hot, but we could not have asked for nicer weather. Remember
last year?
>> Field Day Pictures.. This year I got to travel to
14 different Field Day Sites. I drove just under a 1,000 miles to be with all
of you at your sites. I had a blast and boy to Amateur Radio operators like to
eat!! The food was delicious and I have posted a few pictures of various Field
Day sites around Ohio on the website.. I hope you took pictures too.
>> Some ARRL E-mail Forwarding Service (<call
sign>@arrl.net) users have reported receiving bogus notices with a subject
line, “Warning!!! Code: WeBmAiLx2F5” or similar. These warning e-mails are
phishing attempts and did not originate with ARRL. Recipients should ignore the
warning and should not attempt to click on the link provided or to comply with
its instructions.
The bogus warnings, which bear the ARRL logo, purport to
originate from “IT Help Desk 2016” with a cableone.net domain and are addressed
to “Dear ARRL User.” The message instructs recipients to update their accounts
by clicking on a link and providing account information.
Ironically, the message cites “congestion and spamming in
all ARRL Outlook user accounts” as the reason for the warning and update
notice, which warns that ARRL accounts will otherwise be blocked or suspended.
The ARRL would never solicit information from e-mail users in this manner.
>> For those of you who have not participated in

You better get cracking on this, the drawing ends on June 30th.!! To enter the

>> Oh.. You do need to be a resident of Ohio to win..
<< The winner will be mailed the Handbook at my cost. This is
being offered just to see how many folks are really checking in on the website.

>> HEY, there is another NEW – one question –

you can see how your answer stacks up with others instantly. If you haven’t
