FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 1, 2023, Newington, CT—The ARRL announced today that the next edition of the ARRL Handbook would be written by the generative AI program, ChatGPT. One of the reasons for the change, noted ARRL Publishing head honcho Page U. Booker, W1PUB, is that the cost of producing the Handbook manually was just getting out of hand. “Nate Gold, N0AU, is a great writer and editor, but he charges an arm and a leg. With membership falling, we just can’t afford him anymore.”
Another reason for the move, Booker commented, is that no one actually reads the Handbook. “Seriously,” he said, “When was the last time you actually opened the thing? That being the case, it really doesn’t matter how accurate the book is. It just has to sound plausible.”
Booker also announced that the new Handbook will have a Node Red interface so that you can access the material remotely while operating FT8 on 20 meters.
