ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, was interviewed on the W1DED in Maine YouTube
channel[1]. In the nearly hour-long chat with host Kevin Thomas, Minster shares
quite a bit about things going on at ARRL. He talks about the culture within
the organization, the impact social media has on amateur radio, and how he
approaches listening to members. The pair also covers the results of the recent
ARRL dues survey.�
The W1DED in Maine[2] YouTube channel is dedicated to the core principle of
asking for advice, perspective, and inspiration from experienced amateur radio
operators around the world. The concept of sharing experiences is fundamental
to ham radio, and through this channel, viewers can connect with experts in
their particular niche, gain knowledge from their point of view, and seek help
with issues that can't always be solved through trial and error or found in a
book.
The channel started when Thomas was trying to get back into the hobby. "I did
what hams have been doing forever - I reached out to other hams to ask
questions. I then realized I should be recording the conversations because the
perspective might be useful," said Thomas.
ARRL �The National Association for Amateur Radio�[3]�was founded in 1914 as The
American Radio Relay League, and is a noncommercial organization of radio
amateurs. ARRL numbers within its ranks the vast majority of active radio
amateurs (or "hams") in the US, and has a proud history of achievement as the
standard-bearer in promoting and protecting amateur radio. For more information
