At our last meeting, I announced that I was searching for an AEC to assist me with the duties of EC in my absence. While no one in particular has reached out to me jumping with glee to fill the position, I have reached out to one of our members, who has been very helpful to me and the group in all he does.

While a little reluctant to commit to a position that could potentially require a lot of time, I assured him that I would not ask of him much more than he already does. Time is valuable to him in this current season and I understand this.

He and I both feel we work well together. And, I feel we have common interests in the Amateur Radio field. I look forward to working with him.

He has just this year upgraded to Amateur Extra Class and recently received his Volunteer Examiner Certificate and will be helping at his first VE session this weekend with N7WEB. With his knowledge in the IT field and his willingness to help our group by maintaining our website, and as our Community Liaison, I think he has and will continue to help our group move forward.

Please congratulate Lee Lukehart, K7AVR as our new AEC for K7BNR!!!

Thank you, Lee, for accepting my request!!

Mark Earls, K7MEE Bonner County EC
