  Congratulations W5XX

Congratulations to Mississippi Section Manager Malcolm Keown, W5XX for being awarded the 2013 Joe Knight Distinguished Service Award for Section Managers by the ARRL Board of Directors.  He has worked hard the last few years promoting growth in the hobby and ARRL membership in the section. He is also very active on the air from passing traffic toworking DX.   Mal has served as MS SM for over 16 years and has worked diligently for the ARRL and amateur radio in Mississippi. I remember getting good advice from Malcolm as a newly elected section manager in Arkansas ten years ago, so making this motion at the ARRL Board of Directors meeting was indeed special.  Congratulations Malcolm!
