    NEW ARRL HEADQUARTERS WORLD WIDE WEB SERVICE NOW ONLINE

    The American Radio Relay League is pleased to announce the startup of
    ARRLWeb, your League's new HQ-based World Wide Web site, at the URI

    http://www.arrl.org/

    ARRLWeb will serve as an essential Internet resource for active hams,
    carrying ARRL news; details on upcoming hamfests, conventions and
    Amateur Radio examinations; the ARRL Publications catalog; information
    of ARRL membership benefits and services; and more.

    In inaugurating this new service, the League thanks Scott Ehrlich,
    WY1Z, and the other Boston Amateur Radio Club volunteers who've worked
    since December 1994 to keep ARRL up and coming on the Web via the ARRL
    home page they installed and ongoingly maintained at oak.oakland.edu.
    Their volunteerism helped show us that upgrading our Internet
    connection to a level that allowed on-campus Web service would be
    essential to ARRL's mission of serving Amateur Radio.

    Your comments, criticism and suggestions on how to make ARRLWeb bigger
    and better are *essential* to its ongoing success, so please drop by
    and say hello!

    73,

    David Newkirk (WJ1Z)
    ARRL Webmaster
