All,
I was having an exchange with Club member Steven Lott Smith (KG5VK), who is also the ARRL North Texas Section Manager, about some ARRL “stuff” and he shared the communication below. He is sending it off to ARRL HQ because they are looking for some content reference the eclipse. I asked if he would like for me to post it on our forum and he said yes, so it is posted here with his blessing and without any editing having been done.
Enjoy,
Phillip
