ARRL releases Field Day videos

New videos promoting Field Day and Amateur Radio technology are now available from the ARRL.

Both are short Public Service Announcements better known as PSA's.

According to the League's Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts, W1AGP, the Field Day PSA is meant to be posted on Web sites, added to e-mails and shared via the Internet. . The other, which spotlights amateur radio technology, is
meant for broadcast and cable TV.

The two spots were an all-volunteer effort on the part of ARRL's national Public Relations Committee. This included Newsline's Don Carlson, KQ6FM, who is the voice heard on the Field Day PSA.

It's available for download from the ARRL's Field Day Web page.

The technology PSA is targeted for commercial TV uses. As such, it is a high resolution, 43 megabyte MOV type file that can also be downloaded from the ARRL. Because this version is meant for professional use, it has a formal 60 second lead-in followed by the 30 second PSA.

A very low resolution preview version not meant for distribution is also available.
