Glitch Delays Launch of New ARRL Web Site (Mar 24, 2010) -- The ARRL’s launch of a new Web site has been delayed following problems that appeared as the huge computer programs were being transferred to their main Web server. Normally the Web site connects ham radio operators around the world, dynamically presenting the services that ARRL offers the ham radio community at ARRLWeb: ARRL Home Page. "When we tried to switch over to the new Web site today, we encountered unanticipated technical issues during the process of transferring to the new Web site," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer, WJ1B. "It appears that some of the computer coding from Fathom has problems (Fathom is the Hartford-based firm that led ARRL through a multi-year strategic Web site planning process including focus groups, site architecture development, design, content generation and functionality). We have temporarily switched back to the old Web site until they are resolved. Obviously, we are trying to complete this transfer as quickly as possible and we will keep you informed of our progress."
