Background - see my previous article Amateur Radio Digital Communications (aka ampr.org / 44net).
Rosy Wolf KJ7RYV, Executive Director of ARDC did a Presentation about ARDC on May 12, 2021 for the Radio Amateur Training Planning and Activities Committee (RATPAC) presentation and training series. It was a good presentation, with a lot of good followup questions. ARDC President/CEO Phil Karn KA9Q was also part of the presentation.
Rosy gave a good overview of what ARDC (now) does and explained that it really wants to help Amateur Radio grow with broad-based grants and gifts to Amateur Radio and other organizations and projects.
Kudos to the RATPAC organizers; the RATPAC series was an outgrowth of in-person Amateur Radio training being canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions, and the RATPAC series has just taken off.
I also really love RATPAC's low-overhead minimalist approach - "website" on Groups.io, archival list of previous presentations on Google Sheets, posting the videos on Vimeo, etc.
To view or download the video of Rosie's presentation, see the archived presentations list and scroll down to May 12, 2021 and see the various links at the right. To save a bit of time, here's the Vimeo link.
Thanks for reading!
