Subject: Some Important Announcements

Happy 4th of July weekend.

A couple of announcements of interest to the Division.

First I’d like to announce the retirement of long time ENY Section
Manager Peter Cecere N2YJZ.  Pete has decided to step down after 16
years of service as SM.  I will sorely miss Pete in that role.  He has
been of immeasurable help to me in my position and, of course, a solid
rock as SM.

Perhaps even more important is the friendship that we’ve developed
over the years.  I know that as I write this in steamy New York City,
he’s enjoying himself on the beaches of North Carolina.  I’m
jealous!

I’ve nominated John Fritze K2QY to succeed Pete as ENY Section
Manager.  You all know John.  He’s the long time ARES District
Emergency Coordinator for the ENY Northern District.  He is the RACES
Radio Officer for Albany County.  He is also an ARRL Assistant Director
for the Hudson Division, President of the Albany County Amateur
Communication Service, and he is a past President and current Board
member of the Albany ARA.

I know that John will do a great job as Section Manager and is the
logical choice to fill Pete’s shoes.

When Les Kalmus W2LK left the Hudson Valley for Florida, the land of
thousands of HOAs, he created a vacancy on the DX Advisory Committee.  I
am pleased to announce that Steve Hass N2AJ as the new member of the
DXAC representing the Hudson Division.

Steve is a well established DXer and holds the following awards: DXCC
(SSB, CW, DIGITAL, MIXED, 9BDXCC) and the CQDX Award.   He has worked
345 countries Mixed and Phone, 322 CW and 304 Digital.

It never ceases to amaze me at how Steve is so very well known and
respected in the international DX community.  He currently serves as the
Hudson Division Assistant Director for International Relations and has
hosted numerous foreign hams as they travel through New York.  I have
had the pleasure of meeting a number of our visitors as Steve always
sets up a get together with his international friends and the local DX
community.

Steve has also operated from many countries.  I know he will be a
tremendous asset to the DXAC.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Independence Day.
