Bob Connell (KI4RAX) – Retiring From Statewide ARES / SCHEART Net Manager Role

Bob Connell (KI4RAX) has served as the Manager for the ARES VHF/UHF Sunday night net since July of 2023.

Last week, Bob informed us that he will be stepping down from his net manager role at the end of June.

We thank Bob for the time and effort he has contributed while managing this net during the last two years, and wish him well in the new efforts he will begin.

Due to Bob’s upcoming Net Manager retirement, we are looking for a resource to fill that role.

If you are interested in applying to fill Net Manager role, or want to know more about what the Net Manager is responsible for, feel free to contact me at: robert.webster@ares-sc.org.
