I have now enabled rfkill.  The hostapd error message is now:

Hardware does not support configured mode
wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured mode (2)
Could not select hw_mode and channel. (-2)
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory

i think you may be trying in 'a' mode while the card supports only 'g'
mode. please post your hostapd.conf.
ath9k_htc does supports AP mode.

Please post your hostapd.conf. I don't have any ath9k hardware and cannot
check that it works with, but other wireless devices work with

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=g
channel=1
ssid=test2
#wpa=2
#wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#wpa_pairwise=CCMP
#wpa_passphrase="deleted"
