Night time propgation is the best for those wanting to communicate extreme far distances. VHF, UHF higher frequencies aren't as effected.

The ARRL Great Lakes Division will have a new Director and Vice Director in January, and there are new faces in division leadership positions in the Dakota, Midwest and Pacific divisions.
The ARRL Committee of Tellers for the election of Directors and Vice Directors for the 2000-2002 and 2000-2003 terms met at ARRL Headquarters today to open and tally ballots submitted by ARRL members in the affected divisions. Balloting for Director occurred in the Great Lakes and Midwest Divisions. Balloting for Vice Director took place in the Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Pacific Divisions.
In the Great Lakes Division George Race, WB8BGY, of Albion, Michigan, was the victor in a three-way race to again serve as Director. The tally showed Race--the current Great Lakes Vice Director--nosing out current Great Lakes Director Dave Coons, WT8W, by 101 votes--1700 to 1599. Challenger Murray Scott, KE8UM, garnered 1302 votes.
In 1995, Race--the Great Lakes Vice Director since 1990--assumed the Director's position when former Director Al Severson, AB8P, now a Silent Key, resigned. In 1997, Race was defeated for election to the Director's post by Joe Falcone, N8TI. Falcone resigned just three months into his term, elevating then-Vice Director Coons to Director. Race subsequently was named to again serve as Vice Director. Earlier this year he filed nomination papers seeking to regain the top job in the Division.
Gary Johnston, KI4LA, of Covington, Kentucky, will be the new Great Lakes Vice Director. He defeated Lawrence Solak, WD8MPV, 2498 to 2010. Race and Johnston will serve three-year terms.
In the Midwest Division Robert W. Walstrom, W0EJ, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, defeated John Seals, WR0R, 2050 to 766, for a three-year term as Director. Walstrom--an ARRL Life Member--will replace retiring Director Lew Gordon, K4VX.
In the Atlantic Division, incumbent Vice Director Bernie Fuller, N3EFN, of Saegertown, Pennsylvania, beat back a challenge from John Buchanan, KW3X. The vote was 3047 to 2038. Fuller will serve a three-year term.
In the Pacific Division race for Vice Director, Robert Vallio, W6RGG, of Castro Valley, California, won a three-way race over Jettie Hill, W6RFF, and John Ronan, III, K3ZJJ. Vallio polled 1278 votes to 1186 for Hill and 1155 for Ronan. An ARRL Life Member, Vallio--who's currently East Bay Section Manager--will serve a two-year term.
Several candidates were unopposed and were declared elected. They include incumbent Directors Kay Craigie, WT3P (Atlantic), Rick Roderick, K5UR (Delta), and Frank Butler, W4RH (Southeastern) and incumbent Vice Directors Bruce Frahm, K0BJ (Midwest) and Evelyn Gauzens, W4WYR (Southeastern).
Incumbent Directors Tod Olson, K0TO (Dakota) and Brad Wyatt, K6WR (Pacific), also decided not to seek re-election. Incumbent Vice Directors Jay Bellows, K0QB (Dakota), and James Maxwell, W6CF (Pacific), will move up to Director in their respective divisions. Newcomer Twila Greenheck, N0JPH, of Shoreview, Minnesota, was unopposed to become the Dakota Division's new Vice Director.
Terms of office for all successful candidates begin at noon January 1, 2000.
No candidate was nominated for the Delta Division Vice Director position, now held by Henry Leggette, WD4Q. The ARRL Articles of Association provide that "Should the office of Vice Director be vacant, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the President."
