ARRL CALL-SIGN BADGE ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

    Participating engravers have agreed to sell official badges only to those
who are authorized: Division appointees, currently active volunteers in the
ARRL Field Organization, QSL Bureau Managers/Workers, Technical Advisors,
Volunteer Counsels, Volunteer Consulting Engineers, Volunteer Examiners, ARRL
Monitoring System appointees, Awards Managers, DXCC Field Reps, Educational
Advisors, Registered Instructors, and Life Members.

1) Complete the order form on the reverse side of these instructions.

2) Select a participating engraver from the list provided from ARRL HQ.
(Participating engravers are those who have agreed to meet and continue to
adhere to ARRL's quality standards. They will be listed in the "ARRL Field
Forum" and the "ARRL Section Leader" newsletters and elsewhere in ARRL
publications. The latest, updated lists are available from Headquarters for a
self-addressed, stamped envelope. Also, watch QST Ham-Ads.

3) Gather all of the following:

a) the completed order form;
b) a check in the proper amount made out to the participating engraver of
your choice (each engraver sets its own price for the badges, so make sure
you remit the proper amount);
c) a stamped, business-size envelope addressed to the engraver (in which your
authorizing official will forward your approved application and check to the
engraver); and
d) (optional) a stamped, self-addressed confirmation postcard or QSL card for
your authorizing official to date and return to you.

4) Send the above to your authorizing official (see table).

    On receipt of the above, your Director or Section Manager will check to
determine that you are indeed an active, current appointee, or Life Member as
applicable. If you are a current appointee or Life Member, your Director or
SM will sign your order form and forward it to the engraver. Your
self-addressed, stamped postcard, will be dated and returned to you as
confirmation that your order is on its way. If you are not carried as a
current appointee, your form will be returned to you and you will be invited
to join the ARRL Field Organization. Directors and SMs can, of course, also
authorize your orders in person at hamfests and the like.

Eligibility and Ordering Notes (refer to eligibility table):

1) Appointee may choose either or both authorized colors. For example, an SEC
may choose to purchase a green badge by virtue of his being a "Section
Leadership Appointee" and/or an orange badge by virtue of his being an
"Emergency Communications Appointee." (We recommend, however, that all
Emergency Communications Appointees purchase the distinctive orange badges
for use in emergency field situations.)

2) AECs (who are not formally part of the ARRL Field Organization) must go
through one additional step. As AECs are appointed locally by Emergency
Coordinators, SMs do not have up-to-date listings of them. For an AEC to
purchase an official ARRL orange call-sign badge, he must first have his
appointing EC sign a statement that his AEC appointment and ARRL membership
are current and send it with the order form and other materials to his SM.
Current-month QST mailing label or membership card may be used as evidence of
membership. AECs who are not ARRL members will not be authorized to purchase
an official call-sign badge.

3) Purchase of official call-sign badge to be authorized by Director of
Division in which applicant resides.

4) Must demonstrate proof of ARRL membership to Bureau Manager who certifies
that the applicant is both a current Bureau worker and an ARRL member.
Certified application is then sent to the Director of Division in which
applicant resides, for authorization.

5) Copy of appointment letter or certificate must be sent to applicant's
Director with the completed application.

6) Photocopy of current Volunteer Examiner credentials (laminated badge) and
current ARRL membership card or QST mailing label must be sent to applicant's
Director with the completed application.

7) Copy of appointment letter and current ARRL membership card or QST mailing
label must be sent to applicant's Director with the completed application.

8) Copy of Life Member or Charter Life Member card or other proof must be
sent to applicant's Director with the completed application.
