1101 loss over One single month
I did this look two months ago, month before last month and the decline was 950 members
Seems it is getting worse not better
Please keep in mind there is still Value in being a members of the ARRL
Even at just the Section Level, I work hard to ensure our members get answers that I can provide
even though I can not provide all the answers I want to give you.
And some of the answers I hate to provide but I remain transparent and do so.
I will not sugar coat it !!!
Value if you are not a member you can not expect to call the ARRL and ask for assistance in renewing your license.
You will not be able to receive DXCC Certificates or any other AWARDS (WAS etc) from the league.
As a member for the last 24 consecutive months are eligible to run as an ARRL Section Manager when the incumbents term is nearing an end (2 year terms) and 36 months for the three year terms as a Division Director.
By the way my current term ends April of 2027
at that time I will have served 8 years as your ARRL Section Manager.
Any awards that I issue from within the North Texas Section are only available to ARRL members which reside within North Texas
as these awards come out of the Section Management Budget, iow from the ARRL.
Any questions just send me an email or ask here and I should see it as I have Notify me of follow-up replies.
Cheers!
