ARRL Online Auction Now Live
ARRL announced that there annual online auction will start on October 24th and run through November 2nd. It is live now for registration and you can even view items that will be in these auctions before you can bid on them. The auctioned items are all donated by various people and groups and all the proceeds will go to “a wide range of ARRL programs and services, extending our support for Amateur Radio in areas of public service, advocacy, education and membership”.
The information states that you do need to register on the site at http://www.arrl.org/auction, once there just click on the register today link. Posted information about the auction site is listed below. It looks like it will be a lot of fun to watch even if you don’t bid on anything. It is the first ARRL auction I personally have been a part of since I joined ARRL this past summer.
THE second annual ARRL On-Line Auction will be open for bidding on October 24, 2007 at 10:00AM ET and will run through November 2, 2007 at 3:PM ET. You may register as a bidder now or at any time throughout the auction.
No bids can be placed during preview week. At 10AM ET on October 24, a bidding window will appear on each auction item page.
We encourage you to browse through the website frequently as items will be added on a daily basis.
We also encourage you to look through the Help and About Us sections. You’ll find useful information about bidding, FAQs and a host of other facts. To ensure an enjoyable experience, please be sure to read all policies under the ABOUT US section.
Due to many requests last year, all product review items contain a link to a PDF file of the actual product review, as well as a reference to the QST issue the review appeared in.
PLEASE NOTE: To maximize security, if you are an ARRL member, registered at the ARRL Website, you will still need to create a new registration and new Username and Password to log into the ARRL On-Line Auction site. If you participated in last year’s auction, and still have your Auction User Name and Password, you are free to re-use them if you choose.
