 New
'Hello' video now available
A new Amateur Radio promotional video - part of the 'Hello'
campaign - is now available from ARRL.
Kevin O'Dell, N0IRW, a member of the ARRL Public Relations Committee,
produced the video, which runs approximately four minutes.
It's available for viewing (.wmv
version) and downloading
(scroll down to "Hello Video Files Hello - 4 minute mini-presentation")
in Windows Media and MPEG formats via the League's public relations page.
ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts, W1AGP, says the
video is an excellent addition to the Hello package. Timed to coincide
with the culmination of the Hello campaign in late December, he says,
the video "gives hams a once-in-a-century opportunity to promote
Amateur Radio as never before!" He advises that a DVD version also
is available for placement on cable and TV stations (unlike Amateur Radio
Today, the "Hello" campaign video production may be broadcast).
Contact Pitts to obtain a copy.
The "Hello" campaign, aimed at presenting a friendly and inviting
image of Amateur Radio to non-hams, has been tremendously successful,
Pitts reports. "It has shown that active public information officers
across the country can be very effective when provided with quality materials.
Audio and video public service announcements have played on hundreds of
stations."
The "Hello" campaign brochure quickly blew its initial printing
of 40,000 and soon will pass 80,000 or more, he says, adding that buttons
and bumper stickers "flew off the tables" at various gatherings
