| A note from the
Vice Director |
Central
Division Vice Director:
Howard
S. "Howie" Huntington, K9KM
 Personal
Information:
Howie was first licensed
as KN9UKM at the beginning of high school, built a transmitter from an
old TV set, and has been active in amateur radio since. Amateur radio
led to a career in engineering and to serving ARRL. Howie graduated
from Purdue University with a degree in electrical engineering and later
earned a Masters degree in electrical engineering and has been employed
in communications R&D and management over 30 years. He has a
very supportive wife and two grown children. He is a former Assistant
Scoutmaster and is presently a 4-H leader and has been involved in community
affairs for many years. Other interests include outdoor sports and
vintage cars.
Amateur
Radio Organizations:
Northern Illinois DX Association,
former President.
W9DXCC annual DX convention,
former Chairman.
Society of Midwest Contesters
(SMC).
Lake County (IL) ARES/RACES..
Amateur
Radio Operating Activities:
“I have been contesting
and DXing almost since receiving my first license. There is always
a new challenge and something new to learn. My most fun activity
is a good CW contest. The competition of a contest, whether a serious
multi-multi or a casual effort, and the many friends gained throughout
the world have brought an additional meaning to amateur radio. I
served on the ARRL Contest Advisory Committee and then as committee chairman
which then led to being elected to Vice Director and serving the Central
Division and facing the many issues so important to the future of amateur
radio. DXing and serving on the W9DXCC organizational committee with
NIDXA has also provided opportunities to make new friends and learn more
about amateur radio. Lake County ARES/RACES has diversified by experience
with community service and emergency preparedness. In my spare time,
I like to design and build those things which are not available in stores
and to study the latest technology which affects amateur radio.”
Howie, K9KM

Division Information |
ARRL's structure divides the United States into 15 ARRL Divisions. Every
three years the ARRL full members in each of these Divisions elect a Director
and a Vice Director to represent them on the League's Board of Directors.
The Board determines the policies of the League, which are carried out
by the Headquarters staff. A Director's function is principally policymaking
at the highest level. Each division's Director and Vice Director represent
their Division on ARRL policy matters. If you have a question or comment
about League policies, contact your Central Division
representatives by E-Mail or regular mail at the addresses shown
below.
