Well, it’s with mixed emotions but I was appointed as the ARES Emergency Coordinator at tonight’s meeting. Our District EC made the announcement and it was approved later in the evening when our Section Manager arrived. I truly wish my predecessor hadn’t needed to step down but I’ll do my best.

We had a great meeting. Our guest speaker had to be pleased with the more than 50 people in attendance. He gave a great 2-hr talk on D-Star and his vision for the East Coast of Florida. Hopefully we’ll be another D-Star hub in the state in the next few weeks. Looking forward to learning and exploring some new technology.
