| March 2001 | QST Section News The monthly QST Section News column is changing. Each section gets only a certain number of lines of text and it varies from year to year depending upon the number of members and how each section compares to the other sections. The bad news is the NLI section column space has decreased. This has caused me to make an important decision. The monthly VE sessions which were available every month in QST will no longer be printed there - however - they will be available on the NLI website: http://www.arrlhudson.org/nli instead! The good news is that more space has been freed up to focus on happenings and accomplishments. I'll try to put more "good stuff" in there - so let me know what YOU want to see in the column and I'll try to accommodate you! HAPPENINGS NLI Section Staff Meeting - the semimonthly meeting of the NLI section staff will be held next Sunday, March 18, 2001, in the ARES/RACES room at Babylon Town Hall on Sunrise Highway in North Lindenhurst. All ARRL appointees are invited to this meeting, which begins at 9:30 am. The representatives of all of the ARRL programs in our section will be there to discuss the workings of their program.
