Dear Club Presidents, Newsletter Editors and Contact Persons,
I am running for Atlantic Division Director of the ARRL, the National
Association for Amateur Radio. You have my permission to use the
following Candidate Statement in your club newsletter or at your club
meeting.
Thank you for tolerating a campaign email. I look forward to working
with you as Atlantic Division Director. I appreciate your consideration
and your vote.

ARRL WNY Section Manager

Candidate Statement for Atlantic Division Director, W2LC Scott Bauer.
As Section Manager for the past 6 years, I have led the WNY Field
Organization consisting of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, National
Traffic System, Official Observer program and other appointed
volunteers. Before becoming SM I was an Assistant Section Manager. I
graduated from SUNY at Buffalo with a BS in Electrical Engineering. I
grew up in the Buffalo NY area, lived in the Rochester area for eight
years, and now live in the Syracuse area. As an electrical engineer I
have responsibility for multi-million dollar electronic hardware
developments for a major corporation in Syracuse. I am a community
leader on the board of directors of the Baldwinsville youth softball and
baseball organization. I coach both girls softball and boys baseball.
I was originally licensed as WN2LCC in 1969, became WA2LCC upon
upgrading and obtained the vanity callsign W2LC in 1996. I operate FM,
SSB and CW on all bands from 160 meters through 70cm. I enjoy operating
several on-air contests each year and especially like the January VHF
contest and the 160 Meter contest. I am also an active DXer. My
memberships include the ARRL, QCWA, Rochester DX Association (past
President), Rochester VHF Group, and the Radio Amateurs of Greater
Syracuse. I am a past member of RAWNY and the Rochester ARA.
I support the National Traffic System NTS as a net control on the
Central New York Traffic Net on 2 meter FM, and the NYS CW net on 80
meter CW. I have been the acting Section Emergency Coordinator SEC for
WNY until recently appointing an enthusiastic new Amateur to the SEC
position. I also help to bring in new Amateurs as a volunteer examiner.
I believe that the best representatives for Amateur Radio are those who
are active on the air and attend many hamfests and club meetings, as I
do as Section Manager. There is no better way to know what Amateurs
want than being active on the air and meeting them face-to-face. The
Atlantic Division will benefit from my experience as an ARRL Section
Manager.
ARRL members deserve to be kept informed of major changes proposed by
the Board of Directors. As Division Director I will keep the division
membership and Section Managers informed of major board proposals, such
as changes to the content in QST and changes to membership services.
All Amateurs deserve the attention of the Division Director on matters
involving FCC rules changes proposed by the ARRL BOD, as rules changes
impact all Amateurs and not just ARRL members. I encourage non-ARRL
members to contact me as Division Director to express their concerns.
I will represent all Amateur Radio operators in the Atlantic Division
regardless of your interests, class of license or the mode you prefer to
operate. The strength of Amateur Radio is in its diversity. As
Director I will promote all of Amateur Radio for the good of the service
and the hobby. I appreciate your vote. 73 Scott W2LC.
