http://www.arrl.org/news/phishing-scheme-targeting-arrl-e-mail-forwarding-service-participants

A phishing scheme currently afoot has been targeting ARRL members who have signed up for the ARRL E-Mail Forwarding Service and have an @arrl.net e-mail alias. An e-mail from “Arrl Webmail Admin” with the subject line “ACCOUNT UPGRADE” was received September 25 by an unknown number of members who use @arrl.net e-mail aliases. The e-mail, which requests that recipients reply by providing their usernames and passwords, did not come from the ARRL, and anyone receiving this sort of message should delete it and not reply. The ARRL would never distribute an e-mail requesting personal information.

“ARRL is aware of this phishing scheme and is working to block the sender’s e-mail address at our upstream provider,” said Andy Shefrin, KB1YHB, ARRL’s IT Infrastructure & Operations Manager. “As with any e-mails of unknown origin, do not open or reply.” Simply replying to this e-mail alerts the sender that your e-mail address is valid.

The bogus message indicates that access to @arrl.net account holders is being “removed” and accounts “upgraded to a new enhanced web mail user interface provided by arrl.net.” Recipients are being asked to provide usernames and passwords “to ensure your e-mail address book is saved in our database.” This is clearly an effort to harvest @arrl.net subscriber information and valid e-mail addresses.

Ignore any message of this sort that seeks to have recipients provide any sensitive information, such as usernames, account numbers, and passwords. If you experience any problem with e-mail forwarding, send details to the ARRL IT Department.

We’ve moved.

Beginning in September the Motor City Radio Club will have a new meeting location.  We will be meeting in the community center of Trinity Lutheran Church in Wyandotte. The address of the church is 465 Oak St. Wyandotte, MI 48192. This is at the southeast corner of Oak and 5^th. The community center is not actually in the church building, but rather directly across 5^th Street from the church. It is the building they formerly used as their school.

Parking;

There are a limited number of parking spots along both sides of 5^th Street between the church and the community center. There is also a parking lot across Oak Street from the community center. Although only a few of the parking stops along 5^th Street are designated as handicapped parking, please be considerate of those members that are mobility challenged, and those who are bringing in equipment and supplies, and if you can please utilize the parking lots across Oak Street.

Building access;

Enter the building through the 5^th Street entrance. This door is wheelchair accessible. The room we will be meeting in is on the lower level, on the right, after you go around the corner to the left. There is a handicap lift for those that need it. If you need help operating the lift please ask.

Building etiquette;

The community center has several other users, some have their own rooms, and some using shared rooms like we will be doing. We ask that you respect the other users and refrain from roaming the building. All of the facilities we will be using are on the lower level.

 

The building is the former church school, but they no longer run a school, so they are trying to justify keeping the building open by turning it into a community center.  They are not just seeing this as us renting a room, but rather as us becoming a part of their community. They are having a car show and open house on September 6^th if you would like to check out what they have going on there.

This years dinner will be held at the Lakes of Taylor Golf Course on Northline just east of Beech Daly on November 14, 2015 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

Although registration is free, we will be ordering off the menu and will receive separate checks.

Very nice seating arrangements in their "library" area will give us plenty of room and allow flexibility in numbers. The menu can be viewed by clicking on the link below:

I plan on going to the Field Day site (Community Bible Church, 3700 Benson Road, Trenton, MI 48183) sometime Friday morning, around 10:00-ish for last minute site planning. At around 12:30 I plan on going to: Andy's Coney Island (19458 Van Horn Rd, Woodhaven, MI 48183, just east of Allen Road) to eat. At 2:00PM we will return to the Field Day site and begin set-up.

Feel free to join me when you can. All help is greatly appreciated.
