First ARRL Online Auction planned for OctoberThe ARRL may be giving eBay and the other auction sites a little competition in the Amateur Radio arena this fall when the first ARRL Online Auction gets under way. Auction proceeds will help to support the League's educational services and programs. The event now is in the planning stages, says ARRL Business Services Manager Deb Jahnke, K1DAJ. "We will soon embark on an exciting new venture," Jahnke said in providing the broad strokes of the online auction to ARRL Headquarters staff members. Jahnke and her Business Services team will organize and manage the event, which is planned for late October - the exact dates haven't been set yet - and she promises it will be lots of fun. "This will not be just another boring auction, because we plan to
include many unique and special items related to Amateur Radio,"
she said. "We are hoping to offer items that will interest our audience,
ranging from DXpedition vacation rentals to restored Collins 75A4s."
Jahnke says this The auction will be open to all -- ARRL members and otherwise. Bidders
just need online access to take part. "With an online auction, we
can reach potential bidders across the nation and around the world,"
Jahnke pointed Jahnke says she anticipates that the online auction will be open for about two weeks, and participants will need to register in advance. At this stage, she says, the auction planners are seeking additional ideas but no auction booty as yet. Contact Jahnke via e-mail <djahnke@arrl.org>;. Source: The American Radio Relay League
