The upcoming ARRL Roanoke Division Town Hall will take place Monday, June 8, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM EDT. This will be a particularly informative session where we will focus on Field Day (June 27-28) and developments on advancement of the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act, the bill designed to bring antenna relief to operators constrained by private land restrictions. In addition, newly elected Virginia Section Manager Mike Aimone, WA8AHZ, will present a program on how to identify and re-engage Technician operators who are approaching the end of their license terms. An estimated 35%-40% of Technicians do not renew their initial licenses. Mike's club has developed a method to get Technicians reinvigorated. With Field Day coming up, this might be a way to recruit new members for your club. Plus, the four Section
Managers will provide updates on events in their states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. The Town Hall is open to all, even those who are not ARRL members. Invite friends and members of your club to join us.
