Title: New Vice Directors in Central, Roanoke Divisions Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 21, 2009, 01:27:06 PM From the ARRL web site, dated 11/20/09: AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
In the Central Division, challenger Kermit Carlson, W9XA, of Batavia, Illinois, edged out incumbent Howard S. Huntington, K9KM, of Hawthorn Woods, Illinois; Huntington has served as the Central Division's second-in-command since 1983. Carlson received 1808 votes, while Huntington received 1466 votes. Roanoke Division Vice Director Patricia Hensley, N4ROS, decided not to seek another term. South Carolina Section Manager Jim Boehner, N2ZZ, of Aiken, and former West Virginia Section Manager Hal Turley, W8HC, of Huntington, were both nominated to succeed her. Boehner won the election with 1692 votes; Turley received 1496 votes.

Very interesting and intelligent person and should make a great Vice-Director. He's also VHF/UHF weak signal dabbler. |
