[TxHam] FW: [TexasHams] ARRL West Gulf Division Director Election

[N5IUF at aol.com]

West Gulf ARRL Members,

Only a few days  remain to get your ballot for West Gulf Division 
Director and Vice Director  election into the ARRL.

November 15 is the deadline.

West Gulf  Director Coy Day and Vice Director Dave Woolweaver are
standing for  reelection.

During the 2007 Texas legislative session Coy appointed David  to lead
the Texas political action effort. David organized the  Austin
Legislative Action Assistance group to represent Amateur  Radio
interests on several legislative issues. This organized effort  was
successful in supporting legislation beneficial to Amateur Radio  (SB
11, Homeland Security Bill) and defeating several cell phone  bills
that would have made mobile operation tough.

Coy was early to  recognize the BPL issues for ham
radio. He appointed Jory McIntyre as BPL  Assistant Director to bring
ARRL resources to the battle in the West Gulf  Division. Ed Hare of
the ARRL Lab is one of those resources and was of  immeasurable
assistance here in Austin.

I have found both Coy and  David to be reasonable folks a who work
hard at their ARRL "jobs". David and  Coy are willing to listen and
work to improve the League and ham radio. Both  answer questions
honestly and in a straight forward fashion.

Coy and  David deserve your support. I hope you will consider voting for  
them.

I'm not saying I have been a HAM for a long time, but...
my first  radio was steam powered!
