I’m happy to inform you that David Roberts, K9DCR has accepted the appointment as Section Traffic Manager. Dave has a great history of supporting Iowa traffic nets, and I look forward to working closely with him.
The new Iowa Section web page is live at https://www.arrl-iowa.org/! Please have a look and check back often as we continue adding new content and resources. Also, please join the ARRL Midwest Division group to stay updated on upcoming regional events and news.
Clubs Update
Tim, NØCKR (Section Club Coordinator) and I have been reaching out to all amateur radio clubs across Iowa. Most clubs are active and thriving! However, we have not been able to reach every club yet. Please ask at your next club meeting to ensure your club leadership is in touch with section officials. We have launched an exciting new discussion group designed to enhance local clubs by sharing success stories and best practices.
ARES Preparedness
Similarly, Clint, KØGR (Section Emergency Coordinator) is working to contact all Emergency Coordinators across Iowa. If you are a District EC, EC, or Assistant EC, please check in with Clint. You can join the new statewide ARES group at IA-ARES.
We are moving into an exciting new era for amateur radio in Iowa. If you plan to attend the Des Moines Hamfest on April 26, please stop by the official ARRL table and say hello — I want to hear from you!
73s,
Barry, WØIY
Iowa Section Manager
