ARRL/RAC Section Checklist Hamspeak Section: Both ARRL and the Radio Amateurs of Canada divide their respective countries into administrative districts known as Sections. Each Section encompasses a specific geographic area. Some Sections can be quite large, covering entire states or provinces. The largest state-wide ARRL Section is Alaska. Other states are divided into several Sections. California, for example, has a total of nine ARRL Sections. It is interesting to note that Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands are each separate Sections.     On-Air Events & Conventions SEA-PAC hosting the ARRL Northwestern Division Convention | June 3-5, 2022   International Digital Contest | June 4-5, 2022   June VHF Contest | June 11-13, 2022   Kids Day | June 18, 2022   ARRL Field Day | June 25-26, 2022   Subscribe to our On the Air podcast | Join ARRL Follow us on social media   If you still have questions after viewing the On the Air resources, please email us at members@arrl.org.   This monthly email was developed to help new hams get on the air and involved with the hobby.
