Program "Sausage-Making at the ARRL" (Kristen, K6WX)
Description:
As usual, there are many things going on at ARRL. Some you may know about and some you may not. I am fortunate to sit on a number of Board committees, and that gives me insight and influence over what’s happening between our semi-annual Board Meetings. I won’t be doing slides, so this is more like a discussion. This is your chance to ask questions and get answers about how the sausage is made and what it’s made of.
