This feature--including convenient Web links to useful information--is a quick monthly update of some of the things ARRL is doing on behalf of its members. This installment covers the month of December.



The ARRL is cautiously optimistic about the recent announcement of a commercial Broadband over Power Line (BPL) deployment by the largest electric power utility in Texas.

Thanks to the generosity of Icom, MFJ and NCG (Comet), the ARRL is assessing the capabilities of D-Star digital technology in a real-world Amateur Radio environment. "
