Hello and welcome to episode 76 of The DX Mentor – a discussion about the most recent ARRL Board Meeting as well as an update on the Huntsville Hamfest, an update happenings in Washington and a potpourri of other ARRL goodies. My guests are Joe, W8GEX, and David, NA2AA,CEO of the ARRL. I'm Bill, AJ8B. If this is the first time you are joining us, Welcome! We have a back catalog covering many aspects of DX in both podcast and YouTube format. Please check us out. If you like what you find, please subscribe, like, and share to always be notified about upcoming events! Another way to keep in touch and to see what we are up to is via the DX Mentor Facebook page. I will be posting aboutupcoming podcasts as well as other DX events so please follow us. You can check the show notes for any of the information that we discussed today. You may wonder what a discussion with the ARRL CEO has to do with an episode of The DX Mentor? I think there are several things that link us together. First, the DXCC program IS an ARRL program. You can't separate the two. DXPeditions exist because they have the funding, the need, and the acceptance by the DXCC Desk to be “legal' and will count towards DXCC programs rewards and acknowledgement. Secondly, there is no other organization that works to protect the spectrum like the ARRL does. There have been countless attempts to procure parts of our spectrum that have been defeated due to the actions of the ARRL. The current work to remove restrictions for homeowners another example of the ARRL at work.Finally, David is a DXer and a contester! He works the DX and is the DX. He is also a CW fanatic. So, he is a fit for this podcast. Tune in as Joe, W8GEX, and I discuss this DXPeditionLet's get started!
