What Skills Does a Technical Specialist Need to Have?

  • Technical Interest: We're looking for both generalists that have a broad technical understanding of amateur radio as well as experts that have deep knowledge in specific areas.
  • Desire to Help: A Technical Specialist needs to have a genuine desire to help the ham radio community and the general public.
  • Communication Skills: We need people that are effective at communicating. Depending on the individual, this may include informal discussion, email correspondence, written communication (newsletters, etc.) or presentations (club or hamfest).
  • ARRL Member: This is an ARRL appointment and ARRL membership is required to be a Technical Specialist. However, if you are not an ARRL member and still want to help in this area, we can put you on our contact list as someone that can assist when needed.
