SPARCS Ham Radio Emergency Communication

PLEASE VOTE FOR LEE W5LHC FOR SECTION MGR THIS AUGUST

Our South Texas Section encompasses many miles and key American Cities of Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley. South Texas hosts the NASA Manned Spaceflight Center in Houston, Two NBA franchises, an NFL franchise, some of the most famous Army, Air Force and Navy Bases, and of course the Texas Gulf Coast takes on quite a bit of punishment over just a few years time. And last but not least, our State Capital in Austin is a South Texas treasure. We should be proud of our ARRL leadership in South Texas and they should be proud of all ARRL members.

I’m voting for Lee Cooper this coming election for the South Texas Section Manager because I believe Texas should have the best available person that wants the job. It will be very difficult for anyother candidate who announces for this election to come anywhere close to the talent and capability of W5LHC. Mr. Cooper in all of his accomplishments and activity has convinced me that he has the ability, interest and energy to take us where we need to be in ARRL leadership here in South Texas.

My hat goes off to previous Section Managers who have demonstrated their own affections for our State and our South Texas Section and for their service I am thankful. I look forward to Lee’s plan for South Texas, his continued representation of our Ham Radio issues in the State Legislature and his ability and knowlege of what needs our focus right now, especially in the Section Emergency Coordinator and ARES programs. South Texas deserves the excellence that W5LHC will bring.
