   ARLB017 New Section Manager Appointed in South Dakota   
      
   Chris Stallkamp, W0ADZ, of Selby, South Dakota, has been appointed   
   as the South Dakota Section Manager, effective June 15. ARRL   
   Membership and Volunteer Programs Manager Dave Patton, NN1N, made   
   the appointment in consultation with Dakota Division Director Greg   
   Widin, K0GW, and with the recommendation of outgoing South Dakota   
   Section Manager Scott Rausch, WA0VKC.   
      
   Rausch, of Piedmont, has served as South Dakota Section Manager   
   since April 2009. He decided not to run for a new two-year term of   
   office that was scheduled to begin on April 1. After a   
   re-solicitation for nominations this spring did not result in any   
   potential candidates, Stallkamp was then appointed to take the   
   Section Manager reins from Rausch. Stallkamp's appointment extends   
   until March 31, 2014.   
      
   Stallkamp has been a radio amateur since 2006, and is a member of   
   the Black Hills Amateur Radio Club. Interest in Amateur Radio runs   
   in his family: Both his mother Margaret, KA0BEB, and father Lloyd,   
   KA0ADZ, of Havre, Montana, are also licensed Amateur Radio   
   operators.

   Gentlemens' agreements ratified by IARU regions 1 and 2 have   
   designated a global "center of activity" frequency  in  each   
   of  the  international  hf  bands.  THese are similar to the   
   concept for weak signal calling and other center of activity   
   frequencies.  Three of these have been ratified worldwide.   
      
   THese  center of activity frequencies are where stations can   
   go to render or obtain emergency assistance.   
      
   WHen casually operating or  contesting  on  hf  please  make   
   yourself  aware  of  these  frequencies,  and give them some   
   space. Remember that often stations with emergency needs are   
   not  those  utilizing  high  gain antennas and maximum legal   
   power.
