As many of you know, Bob, W5OV has had recent surgeries that he’s having issues with.  These issues have affected him inside and outside the organization.

He has decided that the best path is to retire to take care of his medical issues and return to TX where he can be with his kids and grandchildren.

This is disappointing for me personally as I have known Bob since high school and expected that we’d be working many more years together.

We will be looking for someone with strong management experience who also has strong radiosport credentials to fill his shoes.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

David
