New Appointment

I am pleased to announce that I will be appointing Floyd Grant, NV5N to the position Zone Emergency Coordinator for Zone 4 (Northeastern Oklahoma).

The ZEC is the assistant to the Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC) for emergency preparedness. The ZEC is appointed by the SEC to take care of all matters pertaining to emergency communications and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) on a zone wide basis. 

Floyd is a long time amateur operator with a strong interest in emergency communications. The ZEC position is a big job and I appreciate Floyd's' willingness to take on the challenge. 

Please welcome Floyd to the team, plus want to thank Ben Joplin WB5VST for doing double duty covering both Zone 4 & Zone 5. Ben will continue to serve as ZEC in Zone5.
