Back in early 2009 when I was working with Les Allwood/G3VQO in setting up the various state-based Associations for W7, I indicated that I would "turn over" Associations to "SOTA active and knowledgeable" individuals who are residents in those states. This was in keeping with the SOTA MT preference of resident Association Managers where feasible.
First was Bruce/N7RR for W7W-Washington where I turned over all the data spreadsheets and a completed ARM document. Bruce went on to add his input and changes and submitted those docs about 6 months later.
In keeping with that commitment, I'd like to now turn over W7I-Idaho to Scott Burgess/W7IMC. Scott has been one of our more engaged Activators, has gained a lot of SOTA experience over the past 18 months and certainly appears to not be stopping as he is an avid outdoorsman. He is a frequent contributer to the NA SOTA reflector, level-headed in his comments, etc. Scott said it best in one of our emails: "You know when you have the SOTA fever when you are negotiating with your co-workers for new sales territories so you can activate some new ones!"
Scott will be an able representative for SOTA! Congratulations Scott!
