PR for efforts


 

I would like to let more of the Amateur Radio world know of the huge volunteer effort that is behind the open-source ventilator development, and how amateur radio operators across the globe are contributing to the effort.? I see it as another opportunity to demonstrate to the world the benefits of having skilled amateurs available to come forth in time of need.

I do not want to slow down the effort, however, if I could get some key contact information to link to ARRL or IARU PR contacts, it could be the start on showing the world how valuable the hobby (and frequency allocations) can be.

If this is off-topic. or not of interest, then let me know.

Evan -- contact your Section PIO and send them information.? ? They know where to go.? My strong suggestion however is NOT to give out the location [email protected] NOR any of the github addresses.? ?We don't need rubber-neckers clogging?up the works.? ?I've sent two press releases to ARRL headquarters?(Rick lindquist) and every one of them has been published -- and then they even did their?OWN write up that was much more in depth than what I had sent them.? ?I purposely downplayed any of my own involvement in mine -- but they went and dug up an old photo of me from the University of Florida back when I had hair and was a bit lighter!!? ?They have been great on this.

Thanks for your contributions.

I had not seen the publication, which is why I brought it up.? Since it has been covered, I will not pursue it.

Thank you for getting back to me.
