To purchase or renew a NFARL membership:
- Log into a Mart account.
- Make sure you are logged into the account of
the person whose membership you are trying to purchase or renew. You may confirm that you
are logged into the correct account by clicking on "My Account" in the
menu bar to the left. The account name appears at the top of the page.
- If the person for whom you are purchasing a membersip does not have an account, click on "Create Account" in the menu bar to the left. You will need an account for each person for which you wish to purchase a membership.
- Each account requires a unique email address. If you need to set up an account for someone who does not have a separate email address, ask our Webmaster to set up a forwarding email address for that person. Contact the Webmaster using the "Contact Us" link in the menu to the left. Send him a suggested email address for your @nfarl.org forwarding account and a destination email address. Multiple forwarding accounts may be forwarded to a single destination email address; e.g., if you need two forwarding accounts, both could be forwarded to your email address. Our Webmaster will send a set-up confirmation to the new address when each forwarding email address has been set up.
- Select the type of membership you wish to purchase or renew. View the types of memberships available by clicking on "Catalog" in the menu bar to the left.
- Add the selected membership(s) to your cart. You may purchase a NFARL membership and ARRL membership in the same order as long as they are for the same person.
- Complete the purchase by checking out. During the checkout process you have the option of paying for the membership(s) via PayPal or by sending our Treasurer a check.
After we receive your payment (which will be instantaneous if you
pay via PayPal), the Mart will update your account record with the
membership(s). Membership will be set to expire:
- "x" years from the date we receive
your payment (if you purchase a new membership), or
- "x" years from the
expiration of your existing membersip (if you renew an existing
membership early).
- "x" is the number of years of membership you
purchase.
ARRL membership expiration dates are also set as described above. We are not able to electroically communicate with ARRL to relay membership information so the first time you purchase an ARRL membership through NFARL we will manually correct the expiration date based on information we receive from ARRL. If the ARRL expiration date we show varies from your records, email the Treasurer and ask him to
correct the date.
You may confirm that your membership has been added or extended by
clicking on "My Account" in the menu bar to the left and scrolling down
to the bottom of your Account page where membership information is
shown.
