Karl Bullock, WA5TMC, appointed Delta Division Vice Director

ARRL President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, has appointed Karl W. Bullock, WA5TMC, to be Delta Division Vice Director. Bullock, of Ripley, Mississippi, will complete the term of Henry Leggette, WD4Q, who took over as Delta Division Director in January after the ARRL Board of Directors elevated past Director Rick Roderick, K5UR, to be an ARRL Vice President.

''I'm honored to have been chosen by President Harrison,'' Bullock said, ''and I look forward to serving the fine folks in the Delta Division and representing Amateur Radio in general.''

First licensed at age 14 as WN5TMC in 1967, Bullock, 53, has remained an active radio amateur ever since. An ARRL Life Member, he now holds an Amateur Radio Extra class license as well as an FCC commercial license, and he's active on all bands and modes from 160 meters through 70 cm.

His ham radio career has included starting up the Mississippi
Training and Traffic net--later the Mississippi Slow Net. He's also a member of the Brass Pounder's League, the recipient of several public service awards, a past officer of the Northeast Mississippi Amateur Radio Club and, most recently, ARRL District Emergency Coordinator for North Mississippi as well as Emergency Coordinator for Tippah County.

His wife Amy is N5TBB, the ARRL Public Information Coordinator for the Mississippi Section and current president of the Tippah Amateur Radio Association.

Bullock's term as Vice Director will end January 1, 2009.
