West Virginia will get a new Section Manager October 1. In
membership balloting, Hal L. Turley, KC8FS, of S Charleston narrowly
defeated incumbent O.N. ''Olie'' Rinehart, WD8V, 252 to 235. Rinehart
has served as SM since 1994. Turley has been a ham for 35 years and
an Official Observer since 1995. He's an active DXer.

In the only other contested race, incumbent San Francisco SM Leonard
Gwinn, WA6KLK, outpolled former SM John Wallack, W6TLK, 374 to 126.
Gwinn had been appointed to complete Wallack's term following
Wallack's resignation in November 1999.

Colorado also will get a new SM this fall. Jeff Ryan, N0WPA, of
Colorado Springs was the only candidate to replace Tim Armagost,
WB0TUB, who did not run for re-election. Ryan has been an Official

1996 and has also held an appointment as an Emergency Coordinator.
