Announcing Amateur Radio Daily

I was planning to announce this as a celebration of the 300th issue of ARW, but events transpired to allow this to happen much sooner!

Amateur Radio Daily is a web site (and RSS feed) highlighting additional and more timely events beyond what's featured in this email newsletter. So if you find yourself craving just a bit more Ham Radio news, please check out Amateur Radio Daily.

It's all a big experiment and feedback is welcome. For more info around how this project came together, read on.
