Title: ARRL's "Hello" Campaign a Hit at NAB, RTNDA Conventions Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on May 10, 2006, 12:09:00 PM NEWINGTON, CT, May 10, 2006--When the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and the Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) met in Las Vegas for their annual conventions in late April, the ARRL was well represented. ARRL President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, headed the League contingent. Media and Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts, W1AGP, Pacific Division Director Bob Vallio, W6RGG, and Vice Director Andy Oppel, N6AJO, rounded out the delegation. The presence of thousands of broadcasters offered Pitts an ideal opportunity to promote the ARRL "Hello . . . -- Celebrating 100 Years of Voice over Radio Worldwide" public service announcements. Pitts gauged success on the basis of what he didn't end up taking home on the return trip.

Im thinking that 100 Years of 'AM' is probably something worth making a fuss about. From what I can read fessendoon actually made some successful tests strating earlier in '06 but the big date is Chistmas eve '06 . Time to start building that 'Carbon mike in the anttena lead' rig... Ian VK3KRI |
