[arm-allstar] Fwd: ARRL news Problem

[Doug Crompton]

The problem is NOT doing it one way or the other. The problem is
standardization. Apparently there was a personnel change at ARRL this week
and whomever is in charge of naming the file changed the format. We need to
determine what the ongoing format is. I have a dialog with Steve Ford and
we will hopefully get it cleared up.
