NEWINGTON, CT, Sep 11, 2003--The ARRL has
honored the individuals responsible for bringing the Amateur Radio Today CD
presentation from concept to reality. The formal recognition came over the
September 6-7 weekend during the ARRL Southwestern Division Convention in
Long Beach, California.
Receiving ARRL Special Service awards for
their contributions to the Amateur Radio public relations effort were director Dave Bell, W6AQ, scriptwriter Alan Kaul,
W6RCL, editor Keith Glispie, WA6TFD, and Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, who assisted
in producing Amateur Radio Today along with Bell, Kaul and Bill Baker,
W1BKR. The video presentation been widely distributed--including to all 535
members of the US Congress. ARRL Southwestern Division Director Art Goddard, W6XD,
presented the plaques to the team members on hand at the convention.
Former
CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite, KB2GSD, narrated Amateur Radio Today, which
runs approximately six minutes. Designed for presentation to nonhams and civic
clubs, Amateur
Radio Today focuses on Amateur Radio's role in emergency
communications, including Amateur Radio's role in the September 11, 2001,
response.

The
League also honored Bell--a Hollywood TV producer and past chairman of the ARRL
Public Relations Committee--with a Lifetime Achievement Award. At its July
meeting, the ARRL Board of Directors cited Bell's "many significant
contributions" to the ARRL, his role as chairman of the Public Relations
Committee and his work in the production of films and videos promoting Amateur
Radio. His film and video repertoire includes The Ham's Wide World, Moving Up to
Amateur Radio, This is Ham Radio, The New World of Amateur Radio

President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, said the idea for the Amateur
Radio Today video stemmed in part from his desire to "leave behind
more than my business card" when talking with members of Congress, their staff
members and others who are not licensees but who "stand to influence or affect
the future of Amateur Radio in some way." Haynie said he and Bell discussed the
project, and Bell agreed to take it on, donating a lot of his own time and
effort in completing the project.
Individuals may order a copy of the Amateur Radio Today
CD-ROM from the ARRL on-line catalog or download it for free. Amateur
Radio Today also is available in VHS videotape format. A subtitled
(open-captioned) version also is available.
