Hello RATS members!
As an ARRL-affiliated
club, RATS qualifies for
a number of special benefits and services provided by the League. To maintain eligibility, RATS is required to have a
certain percentage of the membership enrolled as ARRL members, and we are obligated to periodically provide updated membership counts to ARRL. So, from time
to time, we ask our members to review their self-identified ARRL
membership status. This is also a good opportunity to update any other
information in your RATS roster record which may have changed, such as a
mailing address, phone number, or call sign.
RATS
operates as an almost fully-electronic club. Most of our member
communications are sent by e-mail. Candidate biographies and the link
to your online ballot for club elections will be sent to the e-mail
address you supply in the roster. RATS is required to send certain types of
communication by regular mail. Keeping your mailing address up-to-date
will ensure you receive those items.
Maintenance of your RATS roster information is self-service through our web site.
To view and update your RATS roster information, log in to your RATS.net account, then click on your name at the top of the screen.
We will be supplying updated information to ARRL within the next month or somewhere thereabouts, and club elections seem to always be right around the corner, so your timely attention to this is appreciated. Please let me know if you have any trouble getting into the web site and I am happy to assist.
