   ARLB026 Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, Appointed Central Division Vice Director   
      
   ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, has appointed Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, of   
   Fort Wayne, Indiana, as Central Division Vice Director. He succeeds Kermit   
   Carlson, W9XA, who became the Division's Director upon the resignation of Dick   
   Isely, W9GIG, on July 16. Luetzelschwab said he plans to bring lots of energy   
   to the job and to be visible to Central Division members.   
      
   "It is an honor to serve and give back to the Amateur Radio service for all   
   that it has given me over the years," Luetzelschwab said. "I am looking   
   forward to working with Director Carlson, whom I have known for a number of   
   years, and I would like to give a big 'thank you' to retired director Dick   
   Isely for his friendship and many years of service. I hope to emulate his   
   visibility and approachability."   
      
   Luetzelschwab has been a radio amateur since 1961. His interests include   
   propagation, DXing, antennas, vintage equipment, and contesting. He served as   
   National Contest Journal (NCJ) editor from 2002 until 2007 and, until 2015   
   contributed the "Propagation" column to the bi-monthly publication and   
   articles to other Amateur Radio publications. Luetzelschwab received The Bill   
   Orr, W6SAI, Technical Writing Award for 2013 for his article "The Sun and the   
   Ionosphere," which appeared in the March 2013 issue of QST and won the March   
   QST Cover Plaque Award for the same article. His website offers considerable   
   information on propagation and related subjects. He's been on several   
   DXpeditions and is at the top of the DXCC Honor Roll.
