ARRL - The National Association for Amateur Radio and Mag Instrument[1], the US
manufacturer of the MAGLITE¿ Flashlight have announced they have formed a
partnership based on common interests in equipping people to be prepared for
emergencies and to serve their communities in extreme situations such as
natural disasters. ARRL members expand the reservoir of trained operators and
technicians in radio communications and radio technology, and provide public
service through the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Service¿ (ARES¿). Maglite is
the leading maker of U.S.-manufactured high-quality flashlights that have a
deserved reputation for toughness and durability.

"Amateur radio operators, or 'hams,' help people in times of difficulty, often
by supporting emergency communications when critical infrastructure is damaged,
and by aiding first responders' need to keep connected," said Anthony Maglica,
Founder, Owner and CEO of MAG Instrument Inc. "We manufacture a product that
has been used in public safety for over 40 years, and we are very supportive of
the incredible dedication of radio amateurs, so culturally this is a great
alliance for both brands."

"ARRL is delighted that Maglite recognizes the service and skill of ARRL
members. This partnership will help us introduce amateur radio to more people,"
said David Minster, NA2AA, ARRL CEO. Mag Instrument is creating a special
laser-engraved Maglite¿ product collection[2] for ARRL, as well as offering
their members special pricing on a select line of Maglite gear. In turn, those
purchases raise funds to support ARRL's mission. Members can find details at
www.arrl.org/benefits[3] and by clicking "Member Discounts" in the left-hand
navigation on that page.

Maglite is also promoting a special giveaway in recognition of 2021 ARRL Field
Day (no purchase is necessary). Visit Maglite on the web for entry details and

ARRL, headquartered in Newington, Connecticut, counts the majority of active
radio amateurs in the US among its ranks. Since its founding in 1914, ARRL and
its members have advanced the art, science, and enjoyment of Amateur Radio.
