Welcome to The ARRL NTX News Letter

North Texas News Letter

Welcome Edition

Greetings and Welcome to the new North Texas ARRL Section News Letter

A lot has transpired this month that I want to share with you:

  • New Section manager
  • New Section Emergency Coordinator
  • Irving & Belton Ham Fests were rich rewarding experiences
  • Go To Webinar
  • Groups.IO New NTX Email Reflector
  • Mentor Fest (27th of  April)
  • Emory Ham Fest (11th of  May)

Most of you know I took office on the first of the month as your Section manager (SM), and for those that want to know more about your new SM,  I highly recommend you read the article that Jerry Goodson W5BFF wrote. 
Here is a link that article... http://www.arrlntx.org/2019-section-leadership-changes

Greg Evans K5GTX is our new Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC).
Greg brings a wealth of Professional as well as Amateur ECOM experience to our Section,
he is a former Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator (ASEC)  under Jerry Goodson.  
Jerry said he needed to step back from the role as our SEC, but continues to play key roles within our Section management as an ASEC, Section Training Officer (a new position assigned by me) and as an EC for his county.

I attended the Irving Ham Fest as the Section manager Elect. on the 2nd of March, and the Belton Ham Fest on April the 5th and 6th as your new SM.
I got to visit with many fellow North Texans at both Irving and Belton, making both functions a rewarding experience.

On the First of April I held a Go To Webinar conference with most of the District Emergency Coordinators. The use of this new tool (Go To Webinar) was favorably received, by those that attended. I plan on using the Go To Webinar tool set often to listen and virtually visit with Section Staff and Fellow North Texas Members.
