September Meeting and an election request.

Our September meeting will be Next Monday, September 12, 2011 at Buffalo Grill on Bowman Curve in Little Rock. We usually start gathering around 5:30 p.m. to eat and start the meeting about 6:30 p.m. Please join us this month as we have a couple of things of importance to discuss.

On another note, I received the following email concerning the reelection of K5MC, Mickey Cox, who is our Delta Division Director.

Greetings from the MS Gulf Coast...hope all is well there in Arkansas.

HQ ARRL will be holding an election in about 30 days for the position of Delta Division Director which carries a three-year appointment. Mickey Cox (K5MC) is the current Delta Director and has held the position since January 2009. He is now up for reelection and I am sure he would be honored to garner votes from members of N5CG - CAUHF Group as an ARRL affiliated organization.

Please take a few minutes to read Mickey's campaign statement which can be found at www.k5mc.com. Also, Bob Ideker (WB5VUH), a former AR Section Manager, stands ready to provide additional first-hand information supporting K5MC's reelection bid for Delta Division Director. Bob can be reached via e-mail at bideker@sbcglobal.net. By the way, you can read the full ARRL election announcement published at:

Request this important information be shared with your entire membership. As an official ARRL affiliated organization, K5MC is your elected representative to the ARRL Board of Directors. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact Mickey personally at mcoxk5mc@bellsouth.net. He always welcomes direct discussion with division members concerning all ham radio related issues!
