Over the last recent years I have been doing the four positions for the VHF Club of:

• Technician
• Board member
• Trustee (license for repeaters)
• Webmaster (for Inter-Net site-domain)

While I enjoy helping the Club with it's activities and responsibilities I prefer others to join in with the Club's activities. The last year or so, new people have stepped up to the "plate". Earlier this year I have transferred the Trustee position to John Barnett, W7JRB. Recently, I have transferred the VHF Club’s Webmaster responsibilities to Damian Impett, WA7DGI. Please welcome them on these exciting and challenging positions. The Club’s web site has contact information in case you have a question or wish to help out.

Being that I'm still interested in continuing the first two positions, the Technician has been generally an "assumed" (non-office) responsibility. Based on my experience and resources, efforts are best spent in this area.

For the second, if re-elected, I will look forward to maintaining a Board position in the future years. Having a long-term involvement with the VHF Club I'm interested in the stability of the Club’s operations, especially with the repeaters.

Best wishes for the New Year,

Karl Shoemaker, AK2O
