On Tuesday, November 19, ballots were counted at ARRL Headquarters for the ARRL South Carolina Section Manager election that was conducted this fall.

ARRL members in South Carolina have elected incumbent Matthew Crook, W1MRC, to continue as their Section Manager with a new term of office starting on January 1, 2025.  Crook received 296 votes, and his opponent, Billy Irwin, K9OH, of Anderson, received 223 votes.

Crook, of Lexington, has been Section Manager since July 1, 2024, when he was appointed to fulfill the term of office when then-Section Manager Jon Gendron, NJ4Z, moved out of the section to accept a new job.
