[arm-allstar] Fwd: ARRL news Problem

[Doug Crompton]

Well ARN does do that now -  https://www.arnewsline.org/s/news.mp3

But if they decide to change the directory then it screws up. ARRL names it
based on Friday dates throughout the year. This makes sense to go back and
listen to previous ones but they still could copy each weeks to a simple
name.
