On August 19, members of the ARRL's Membership and Volunteer
Programs Department counted ballots for contested Section Manager

terms.

In Idaho, Edward Stuckey, AI7H, of Post Falls, was elected Section
Manager of Idaho with 155 votes; Chuck Robertson, KX7ID, of Nampa,
received 150 votes.  Stuckey will be stepping into the office that
has been held by Doug Rich, W7DVR, of Boise; since the fall 2003,
Rich decided not to run for another term of office. Stuckey,
licensed since 1957, is a member of ARES/RACES organizations.  He is
currently active in the Kootenai Amateur Radio Society in Coeur
d'Alene of which he is a past president.

In Western New York, current Section Manager Scott Bauer, W2LC, of
Baldwinsville, was re-elected with 639 votes; challenger Kevin
Romer, KC2MLC, of Trumansburg, received 273 votes. Bauer has served
as Western New York Section manager since 2000. He is active in many
areas of Amateur Radio including the National Traffic System, ARES
and SKYWARN, and serves as a volunteer examiner.

The ARRL North Dakota Section will also get a new Section Manager
come October 1. Lynn Nelson, W0CQ, of Minot, will be taking over
from Kent Olson, KA0LDG.  Olson, who has served as Section Manager
since 2001, did not run for another term of office.
