4. Estate Planning for Hams
August is National Make-a-Will month. Some estimates show that
nearly two-thirds of Americans don't have a plan. For some, it's
procrastination. “So many times we hear from the family of a

needs to be done ahead of time can prevent the stress on our
loved ones after we are gone.” said ARRL Director Kevin Beal, K8EAL
On the ARRLHQ YouTube channel, you can see a replay of a
52-minute presentation, along with the question-and-answer
section at the end.
