ARRL Email Forwarding Issues

Nov
23

I received an email from HamClubOnline stating that given the number of issues with the ARRL email forwarding service, they are suspending emails sent to @arrl.org addresses.

This presents a challenge in that we are moving towards using the HamClubOnline email service to share our club newsletter and other announcements.

If you are using an ARRL email address, please give us an alternate email while ARRL works through these issues. Otherwise, we can't help keep you informed.

73, Mike
