About the ARRL
The American Radio Relay League, Inc (ARRL) is a noncommercial
association of radio amateurs, organized for the promotion of
interest in Amateur Radio communication and experimentation, for
the establishment of networks to provide communications in the
event of disasters or other emergencies, for the advancement of
the radio art and of the public welfare, for the representation of
the radio amateur in legislative matters, and for the maintenance
of fraternalism and a high standard of conduct.
ARRL is an incorporated association without capital stock
chartered under the laws of the State of Connecticut, and is an
exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. Its affairs are governed by a Board of
Directors, whose voting Members are elected every two years by the
general membership. The officers are elected or appointed by the
Directors. The League is noncommercial, and no one who could gain
financially from the shaping of its affairs is eligible for
membership on its Board.
"Of, by, and for the radio amateur," ARRL numbers within its ranks
the vast majority of active amateurs in the nation and has a proud
history of achievement as the standard-bearer in amateur affairs.
Benefits you're entitled to as an ARRL member:
QST, our monthly membership journal, is simply THE SOURCE for news
and information on any topic that's part of, or relates to,
Amateur Radio. Here's some of what you'll find every month:
Informative and hard-hitting Product Reviews of the newest
radios and accessories from hand-held and mobile FM radios,
to home-station transceivers, antennas and even shortwave
radios.
Advertisements You'll find everything from full-color foldouts
introducing new radios to a large classified ad section.
Coming Conventions/Hamfest Calendar These columns show you
who's getting together every month at hamfests, conventions
and swapmeets in your area.
The Public Service column keeps you up to date on the public
service efforts hams are providing around the country and
shows you how you can join in this satisfying aspect of our
hobby.
FM/RPT column You'll find lively discussions of FM and
repeater "current events."
The New Ham Companion section is filled with features and how-
to information just for beginning hams.

all. And there's more: New trends and the latest technology,
fiction, humor, news, club activities, rules and regulations,
special events, packet radio, and much more.
Technical Information Service (TIS). The Technical Information Service has
been around for a long time, but, thanks to the addition of new staff, it
has an all new face! Questions on topics ranging from antennas to Zener
diodes (A to Z), and just about anything in-between, are answered by expert
ARRL Technical Coordinators and Technical Specialists in the field and at
ARRL Headquarters. Our Headquarters technical staff will help you over the
phone, refer you to a volunteer ARRL Technical Specialist in your area, or
send you the needed information from a growing collection of information
packages. For really difficult questions, one of our Laboratory Engineers
will research our technical library and send you an answer by postal or
electronic mail (Internet: tis@arrl.org).

advantage of the ARRL All-Risk Equipment Insurance program at a
