Good Afternoon Everyone!
Sorry for things being quiet the last few weeks we’ve been trying to work through the back log of requests, renewals and everything else. Field day and a couple of work trips added to the adventure
We’ve made some changes to how the frequency coordinations are going forward that I think better align with the Repeater Councils Bylaws. In our bylaws we have a frequency committee and over the years the frequency coordinator has also served as a board member. We’ve since moved back to the committee mentality and have changed that board seat to a second at large position.
First and foremost there was a couple of you who expressed interest in adding to the role and I deeply apologize to you about not getting back to you properly.
With that I’d like to introduce Jim, W6GRE. Jim joins us from the Ankeny area. While being a newer ham he has jumped in and enjoys many of the different facets of amateur radio. You can find him on most of the Central Iowa VHF/UHF nets, Repeaters and GMRS Repeaters as well. His background in technology and Electrical Engineering will bring much value to the group here and keeping up with coordinations and other efforts. When Jim is not playing radio (which is hardly ever), he’s enjoying time with his Family with various activities.
Welcome Jim.

Good evening, community!
A little update from the council. All of the updated data that has been received up to this point has been entered in to the database. Thank you all for taking the time to send in the data and use the online renewal forms!
With this please also accept my apology. My plan, while not very clearly spelled out to some folks, was to get the renewals closed, entered into the system, and then move on to the back log of requests. For some of you, that is simple updates and I’ll be working on those shortly with email follow-ups and website updates. For some of those others is full frequency updates and again I apologize that we haven’t gotten to that part yet. I’ve started to reach out and make sure our neighboring states know that we are communicating again and working through our backlog of items. Hopefully nothing overlaps and we can make the best of it
Keep hanging in there with us. Rome wasn’t built in a day and we won’t turn the entire ship in a day either, but we are trying.
73,
Calvin, KN0CTJ
