    Again, thank you for a challenging question, or three.

    Not my claim. That was a quote from a question from a member of the Kansas Section.

    I have RACES, SHARES, and Skywarn experience in addition to the ARES experience.

    Yet, the short answer is No. I did not fill the SEC post when I was
    section manager.

    >>> Why?


    Because I had an award-winning SEC at the time who did not need
    replacement.

    Secondly, I am not elected yet. I've already stated I won't fire anyone
    who wants to work. I can't appoint anyone who won't apply, until after I am elected. The Section Cabinet is readily available so one can see who is
    and is not SEC.

    Perhaps the lack of applications is why the incumbent has not appointed someone. I don't know, though. Maybe you should ask him.

    Thanks again for the interesting questions. The postman picked up my
    ballot. Has he picked up yours? VOTE.

    If you are an ARRL member, time is running out for you to get your ballot
    back to Newington.
    If you did not receive a ballot, you need to contact Headquarters.

    Don't do what one Kansas community did Election Day. Only 12% of the registered voters cast a ballot.

    Democracy works best when people vote.
