Lawrence Thompson learned something else during his work to get new plates for hams. He says Alabama enacted legislation permitting amateur radio license plates back in August 1951, making it the first state in the U.S. to do so. Amateur Radio Awareness Day is an annual ham radio event designed to interest the general public in local ham radio activities and spread the word of ham radio's readiness to assist the community. Press kits and other aids to help you promote ham radio for Awareness Day are available from ARRL's Public Relations Office. The show airs live on Saturday mornings from 10am to Noon, Eastern Time, from Dave's home in Miami Lakes, Florida, via an Integrated Services Digital Network line to the ABC Radio Network satellite Uplink in New York City.
Discussions center around the latest in technology for all kinds of products and services.
The show is highly interactive, with listeners encouraged to join the show live via E-mail as well as toll free open phones. The 1996 joint ARRL and Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Digital Communications Conference is set for September 20th to the 22nd in Seattle, Washington, just minutes from the SeaTac Airport. This marks the first time the ARRL Digital Communications Conference and TAPR Annual General Meeting have joined into one conference. The RSGB Council agreed to use some of the Legacy Fund to make an annual award to a university. After approaching several institutions, it was decided to make the funds available to King's College.
