Good morning, Oregon ARRL!

Ask your friends if they received this email. If they didn’t, tell them
to opt-in to section manager emails in their membership profile.

ARRL fights for hams on Capitol Hill, and defends our spectrum
allocations, but only ONE in SIX licensed amateurs is an ARRL member. In
Oregon, it’s only 15%.

Let’s ALL work together on improving on that number. If you believe in
ARRL, help recruit new members. Talk it up at meetings, talk it up at
exam sessions, talk it up at impromptu breakfasts.

OREGON CLUBS NEWS

During the last Oregon Radio Clubs Meeting, we discussed benefits of
becoming an ARRL affiliated club, and how to apply for and maintain ARRL
affiliation.

Benefits include:

Access to Liability Insurance
New Member Referrals
Membership Recruitment Commissions
Mailing Lists
ARRL Annual Report
There are four club categories:
Local Amateur Radio Clubs (category one)
Regionally or Nationally Organized Amateur Radio Groups (category
two)
Local School or Youth Groups, or Clubs for the Elderly or Disabled
(category three)
Club Councils (Clubs of Clubs) (category four)

Once a club is ARRL affiliated, it wil l always be an ARRL affiliated
club. However, to keep your club in active status, clubs must update
their club listing through the ARRL website. To update your site, one of
people listed on the club page must edit the page. If you are unable to
edit your club’s ARRL listing, please contact Max Sabo, your
Affiliated Club Coordinator at max@noltra.com.

To lookup your club, or other clubs, use the ARRL Club Search page,
here: https://www.arrl.org/find-a-club
ARRL publishes a Club Primer that helps clubs get started in the
affiliation process. This is also a great read for any club leadership
on how to gain more members, increase club enthusiasm, and increasing
engagement. The primer can be downloaded here:

Oregon Youth Amateur Radio Club

Ethan, KK7UXY, has created the Oregon Youth Amateur Radio Club.
Specifically set up as a statewide club for amateurs (and those working
to get l icensed) aged 26 and under. The club holds the call K7OYA, holds
monthly meetings via Zoom, has a discord server for members, and has
applied to ARRL as an ARRL affiliated club. The club is working on
developing a remotely-accessible station for its members.

In addition, we all know that for kids, ham radio can be expensive.
While the club does not have nonprofit status, it hopes to be a conduit
for connecting its young members with hams who have accumulated and may
have "excess" equipment they are interested in "divesting" themselves
of.

Please send your young amateur radio operators in the direction of
OYARC!
