OHIO CLUB HONORED AS ARRL 'SPECIAL SERVICE CLUB'

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: When the Highland Amateur Radio Association got 
together recently for brunch in a local park in southern Ohio, they 
were marking two occasions: it was the first time members were able to 
be together in a long time for a "meet and greet" -- and they were 
receiving special recognition from the ARRL as a Special Service Club. 
ARRL officials attended the event too and presented the honor 
formally. Special Service Clubs are defined as groups leading the way 
in training, publicity and community support to improve the interests 
of amateur radio. The club in southern Ohio is one of only a dozen in 
the state to be given this designation.

HISTORY LESSON HIGHLIGHTS ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST NOTABLE HAMS

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: The Arizona Historical Society has an online history 
lesson scheduled. Its topic is a lawmaker who was also one of the most 
high-profile American hams. Kevin Trotman, N5PRE, explains.

KEVIN: The late United States Senator Barry Goldwater was also known 
by his callsign K7UGA. History has recorded his many contributions as 
a lawmaker to the evolution of amateur radio in the US. The Arizona 
Historical Society is presenting a virtual event on Wednesday, May 
19th that explores the life of the state's most notable amateur radio 
operator who, during the war in Vietnam, was instrumental in 
organizing volunteers to connect families via ham radio with their 
relatives serving overseas during the conflict. The Society, based in 
Tucson, houses much of the senator's longtime shack in its collection. 
The presentation by Arizona State University history professor Eric 
Nystrom will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific Time - or 0100 UTC. 
A donation to the museum is requested for anyone attending the 
discussion, which will be held on Zoom.

A link to register for the event can be found in the script of this 
week's newscast at arnewsline.org

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Kevin Trotman, N5PRE.
