Swiss Army Knife for PIOs The Swiss Army Knife for PIOs is a CD disk with many of the forms, tips and tools that PIOs use regularly. While it is not a tool to research news and events, it has a lot of information on it to aid you in your work as a PIO. Copies of the disk are made available through the PR Department at ARRL HQ (apitts@arrl.org) or, thanks to Norm Schklar, WA4ZXV, you can see it on the web at http://www.wa4zxv.com/ Here are the topics from the 2008 edition: General Info Where can I get display kits?
