Toth, NA4AR, and Georgia SM Nelson E. "Sandy" Donahue, W4RU, will contend for the seat being vacated by Vice Director Evelyn Gauzens, W4WYR, who is not seeking a new term after 22 years of service. In the Southwestern Division, Edward J. Stearns, AA7A, and San Diego SM Tuck Miller, NZ6T, will face off for the seat Goddard is vacating.
