Greeting Delta Members,

I hope all are well. We have been battered by storms the last three
weekends.  Personally, two weeks ago a tree fell and hit the side of the
house.  Easter night, a storm system moved through the Division from east
to west wreaking havoc in many locales. We lost power for nearly a week
here with extensive wind damage to the power grid in AR. So, dealing with
the virus, wind damage and intermittent loss of internet for a week have
me behind. Trust in God and pray for the generator unit was our motto for
the past week.  Further, I'm really getting tired of the chainsaw, but I
do know it is a much better alternative to the manual version.

I have some updated information from HQ on expanded member services in
case you may have missed it:

ARRL members will now receive digital access to four ARRL magazines
beginning with their latest issues. Joining QST and On the Air magazines
on a digital platform will be the bimonthly editions of QEX -- The
Forum for Communications Experimenters and NCJ -- National Contest
Journal. QEX includes articles, columns, and other features ranging from
construction projects to more advanced technical information in radio
theory and practice. NCJ, published since 1973, targets radio amateurs
active in radiosport. NCJ includes scores, technical articles,
contributions from top contesters, and advice for beginners and seasoned
radiosport enthusiasts alike.

"Feedback from ARRL members and our readership surveys has shown that
our magazines are one of the most valued member benefits," said ARRL
Publications Manager Steve Ford, WB8IMY."Our investment in digital
access provides another channel through which we can deliver content to
our members across the expanse of interests and activities in amateur
radio. All members can enjoy specialized content and a high-quality
reading experience whether at their desk or on the go. Offering this
suite of digital magazines is an opportunity for us to give members more
of what they want while adding value to ARRL membership."

ARRL's digital magazine editions provide replicas of the printed
editions with added functionality, allowing users to fully search
issues, enlarge pages, share articles, and more. The free ARRL Magazines
app also supports downloading complete issues onto your mobile device or
tablet for offline reading.

Members who have elected to receive a printed QST or On the Air as part
of their membership benefits will continue to have this service. Members
may not substitute a print subscription of QEX or NCJ as their delivered
magazine member benefit. Print subscriptions of QEX and NCJ will
continue to be available at additional cost for those who want to
receive them.

All four magazines are easily accessed through any web browser from
members-only links. The free ARRL Magazines app is available for iOS and
Android in the Apple App Store and Google Play. If you're already an
ARRL member and previously created an arrl.org website account, your
username and password will provide you access to the digital editions,
whether online or in the app. Members who have not previously registered
will need to create a new account. If you've forgotten your password,
visit www.arrl.org/forgot-password, or email [email protected] for
assistance.

Previous and prospective members can join ARRL and take advantage of
this and other membership benefits.

Note:

The May/June digital editions of QEX and the National Contest Journal
(NCJ) are now available for reading on your iOS or Android mobile device
through the ARRL Magazines app, or with your desktop or laptop computer
from the ARRL Magazines page on the web at www.arrl.org/arrl-magazines.

App users please note that you may need to clear the cache in the
app's Settings menu to fully update.

The digital versions of QEX and NCJ are new benefits for all ARRL
members. Members now have exclusive access to four magazines, each with
their own unique content: QST, On the Air, QEX, and NCJ.

Stay safe my friends!
