Reuben Meeks, W8GUC, former president of the Dayton Amateur
Radio
Association (DARA) is the new Ohio Section State Government Liaison (SGL)
for
the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). He succeeds Law Professor Jeff
Ferriell, K8ZDA, of Columbus, who retired after four years so he could
complete a college level textbook on contract law.
Reuben, of Vandalia, will supervise Ohio's local government
liaisons. These are amateur radio operators who monitor the activities of
local elected officials and boards who pass on legislation which may
affect
amateur radio operators. Rules and regulations on tower construction is
the
biggest concern for these hams.
Reuben will also be the ARRL Ohio Sections official spokesman
to
the Ohio General Assembly, Governor and State Supreme Court. The
appointment
was made by Ohio Section Manager, Joe Phillips, K8QOE.
Reuben has been an amateur radio operator for 45 years (first
licensed KN6GUC), is a Broadcast Engineer recently retired from
government
service but continues as an engineering consultant. He was graduated from
Sacramento State College in both Business Engineering and Theology. He
has 30
years experience in the US Air Force completing from 1983 to 1993 at
Wright
Patterson AFB. Reuben also found time to obtain a private pilot license.
