I especially want to<br \/>\nthank Bob Craven for a well-contested race and thank him for his<br \/>\nenduring contributions to amateur radio, especially in Utah. I know Bob<br \/>\nwill continue to contribute in meaningful ways in the section.<\/p>\n<p>As your newly elected Section Manager, I will keep the promises I made<br \/>\nto you in my campaign platform. We are already growing amateur radio in<br \/>\nUtah. I&#8217;m happy to announce that we have a new Emergency Coordinator in<br \/>\nSevier County. Doug Preston, K7VVW, has volunteered to take on the reins<br \/>\nand I know we are going to see great things. We&#8217;ve never had an ARES<br \/>\ngroup in Sevier County. I&#8217;m glad we do now as I know the capabilities<br \/>\nARES will bring to that part of the state are badly needed.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to traveling the section this coming Field Day and<br \/>\nmeeting as many of you as I can. If you see me first, please come<br \/>\nintroduce yourself. Don&#8217;t forget! You get a generous point bonus for<br \/>\nsending me an email during the Field Day Contest. You can send your<br \/>\nemail to:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:k7bdp@arrl.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">k7bdp@arrl.org<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; or you can send it to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:k7bdp@winlink.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">k7bdp@winlink.net<\/a>\u00a0. I&#8217;m<br \/>\nexcited to receive as many emails as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always open to feedback from you. This is YOUR section&#8230;the cabinet<br \/>\nand I are just managing it. If you ever feel something isn&#8217;t being done<br \/>\nthat should be done, reach out to me and let me know. If you feel<br \/>\nsomething is being done, but more needs to be done, reach out to me and<br \/>\nlet me know. If you have any questions about what IS being done, reach<br \/>\nout to me and ask. The ARRL is your league and the Utah Section is your<br \/>\nsection. It is your dues that allow us to make an impact in Utah. If you<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t feel you&#8217;re seeing any value, please let me know what we can do.<\/p>\n<p>As far as keeping everyone in the loop, you are going to see a lot more<br \/>\nactivity on the section news webpage. You can access that webpage from<br \/>\nthe ARRL website. Or you can simply go to:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/arrlutah.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">arrlutah.org<\/a>. That website,<br \/>\njust like this section, is YOUR website. If you ever want to highlight<br \/>\nsomething that&#8217;s being done in the section, or if you have news you<br \/>\nthink others would like to know about, let me know. I&#8217;d be happy to post<br \/>\nit on the website.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;d like to start doing on the section website is member<br \/>\nhighlights. Something like you see in On the Air or QST magazine. If you<br \/>\nthink of someone who deserves recognition &#8211; for anything &#8211; please let me<br \/>\nknow. I think it would be fun to show off what we&#8217;re doing in the<br \/>\nsection as individual members.<\/p>\n<p>I wish all of you the very best and look forward to working together to<br \/>\ngrow the hobby and increase our collective enjoyment of it.<\/p>\n<p>~ Servire Per \u00c6thera ~<\/p>\n<p>73, Brett<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nAR RL Utah Section<br \/>\nSection Manager: Brett D Pruitt, K7BDP<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:k7bdp@arrl.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">k7bdp@arrl.org<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Fellow operators, I want to thank all of you for your support and for those of you who took time to vote in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-newsletter"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=795"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":796,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795\/revisions\/796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arrlutah.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
