This from our MI Section Manager:
01/26/2016
Tom Gallagher, NY2RF, of West Palm Beach, Florida, will succeed
DavidÂ*Sumner, K1ZZ, as the chief executive officer of ARRL, effective
AprilÂ*18. In that role, he will oversee all activities at ARRL
HeadquartersÂ*in Newington, Connecticut. Meeting in a special webinar
session onÂ*January 25, all 15 ARRL Directors voted to elect Gallagher as
CEO andÂ*Secretary, positions that Sumner will relinquish on April 18.
GallagherÂ*will join the ARRL staff as CEO-Elect on February 29, and a
transitionÂ*period will follow.
“I am excited by the prospects of ARRL’s Second Century, but I amÂ*equally
mindful of Dave Sumner’s enormous 4-decade contribution toÂ*our organization
and of the extraordinary contributions he has made toÂ*advancing the art and
science of Amateur Radio, to growing our ranks,Â*and to expanding the sheer
enjoyment of ham radio around the world,”Â*Gallagher said.
Gallagher said he is looking forward to attending the ARRL 2016Â*National
Convention, hosted by the Orlando HamCation, February 12-14.Â*Licensed in
Pennsylvania in 1966 as WA3GRF (and later N4GRF in NorthÂ*Carolina),
Gallagher is a member of the West Palm Beach Amateur RadioÂ*Group. He
describes himself as “an incurable HF DXer and inveterateÂ*tinkerer” and
credits his first visit to the Franklin Institute’sÂ*Amateur Radio station
W3TKQ in 1963 for inspiring his interest in hamÂ*radio.
Amateur Radio led to an early career in broadcasting. He was aÂ*cameraman
and technician with WGBH-TV in Boston, the CBS TelevisionÂ*Network, and
Metromedia’s WIP Radio in Philadelphia.
He joins ARRL following 3 decades as an international investment bankerÂ*and
financial services executive. His career has included seniorÂ*leadership
positions with JP Morgan Chase & Co and CIBC Oppenheimer &Â*Co in New York,
and with Wachovia Capital Markets in Charlotte, NorthÂ*Carolina. He has also
served as an adjunct professor at the WalshÂ*School of Foreign Service at
Georgetown University and as CEO of theÂ*Secondary School Admission Test
Board in Princeton, New Jersey.
Gallagher has served on boards, both public and non-profit, includingÂ*two
NYSE companies, the NPR affiliate in Charlotte, the Executive BoardÂ*of The
PENN Fund at the University of Pennsylvania, and TheÂ*International Center
of Photography.
Gallagher graduated magna cum laude with a BA from the University
ofÂ*Pennsylvania, and he holds an MBA from The Wharton School. He is
aÂ*graduate of The Lawrenceville School, where he held the Nicholas
NoyesÂ*scholarship.
In addition to ham radio, Gallagher enjoys sal****er fishing andÂ*sailing
which, he confesses, is sometimes just an excuse to operateÂ*maritime
mobile.Â*At his Florida home along the Intracoastal Waterway, Gallagher
hasÂ*maintained a fairly low Amateur Radio profile, with a wire
antennaÂ*that, he says, works well into Europe and Latin America. He also
has aÂ*40 meter Windom. “I would like to work Asia when I get a better
HFÂ*antenna solution,” he said. Gallagher has both modern and
vintageÂ*stations as well as a high-speed multimedia (HSMM) digital repeater.
Gallagher and his wife Lindy Allyn divide their time between West
PalmÂ*Beach, Florida, and Manhattan. They have three sons. He plans to
returnÂ*to Connecticut; hed lived previously for 13 years in New Canaan.

Amateur radio in the news: class a huge success, NPOTA, tower woes

Amateur radio class a huge success.Â*This year’s Amateur Radio Technician
class was a huge success. This class started out with nine inquiring
applicants and settled with a group ofÂ* five very interested and focused
individuals.


Aksarben ARCÂ*coming to Homestead.Â*In coordination with the National Park
Service Centennial, members of the Aksarben Amateur Radio ClubÂ*will be
communicating around the nation, and possibly outside of the United States,
at Homestead National Monument of America on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016 from 9
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They will be based out of the Education Center.Â*This is
part of the National Parks on the Air program sponsored by the American
Radio Relay League. Radio operators throughout the nation will be
communicating with each other and spreading information about national
parks through 2016 and to show people the capabilities of amateur radio and
how it can benefit the general public.Â*“The Centennial of the National Park
Service is here and during this year there will be opportunities to engage
in unique activities,” Superintendent Mark Engler said in a press release.
“We are very excited for the hamÂ*radio operators from the area to use the
park all year long to participate in this program.”

Ham radio operator asked to take down tower.Â*A federally licensed amateur
radio operator said he plans to sue the city for harassment in regards to a
radio tower he was forced to remove. Adams Street resident Karl Reed said
the city violated his First Amendment rights and failed to give him due
process when it threatened to fine his landlord $2,500 a day if the tower
was not removed.
