(Jan 10, 2006) -- In support of deployed US armed forces, the ARRL has adopted a new policy.

ARRL members in active US military deployment outside the US and its territories may request to temporarily suspend ARRL dues payments and/or delivery of QST for the duration of their deployments.

The objective is to ensure that members in active duty and deployed overseas can maintain their League memberships. The ARRL recognizes that members deployed away from their homes or permanent duty stations may experience difficulties with, or interruptions in, mail delivery or other disruptions.

To apply, members should e-mail or send a copy of their deployment orders or a verification letter to ARRL, Attn: Circulation/Military Deployment, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111 USA; fax 860-594-0303.
