Paul Bourque,
N1SFE, has been named the ARRL's new Contest Program Manager. He succeeds Bart
Jahnke, W9JJ, who was recently promoted to be the League's Radiosport and Field
Services Manager. Bourque grew up in Newington, Connecticut, where ARRL Headquarters
is located, according to the ARRL Letter, which reports that he is "coming
home" after a career in broadcasting.
On the volunteer
side of League activities, longtime ARRL ARDF Coordinator Joe Moell, K0OV, has
stepped down after more than two decades of organizing and promoting amateur
radio direction-finding ("foxhunting") in the United States. He is
succeeded by Jerry Boyd, WB8WFK, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Moell will continue
in his position of "Homing In" editor of CQ and coordinator of
the annual CQ World Wide Foxhunting Weekend. See Joe's August "Homing
In" column in CQ for more on his experiences and an introduction of Jerry.
