Important Info!
On MAY the 3rd, 2023, FCC changed the rules regarding the safety and legality of your shack.
Checking your RF Exosure based on your equipment and
other factors, which we have all done before...is
no longer a "nice to do" thing.
Its mandatory. Its law.
If you didn't know about the change in
the law that became effective May 3, 2023.
then
You need to Read

Support your club when paying your ARRL Dues!
Note – your payment should be made out to ARRL, but ARRL only pays out the club commission if it is sent in with an accompanying form from the club treasurer.
As an ARRL-affiliated club, DARC is eligible to receive a commission when members join or renew their ARRL membership. Fill out the ARRL renewal form as usual and make out a check for the amount due payable to ARRL (or fill out the credit card information at the bottom). Then instead of mailing it off to the ARRL, hand it to the club treasurer at a meeting or drop it in the mail to our PO Box (Box 71, Clarendon Hills, IL 60514).
The club treasurer will forward the membership/renewal form and your payment to the ARRL along with a form identifying the affiliated club you belong to. After processing, the ARRL will pay a commission to the club. ($5 for a renewal, $20 for a new membership). If everyone remembers to do it this way, it can add up and keep the club’s bank balance healthy. And all it takes is mailing the renewal to the club instead of directly to the ARRL.
