IARU Region 2 appoints new Monitoring coordinator

The IARU Region 2 Monitoring Service regularly checks the amateur bands to look for intruders. It also follows up on reports of intrusion from the Region's amateurs. Efforts are made to have the country involved remove the intruder, but if that fails, a complaint may be made to the ITU.

Rod Stafford W6ROD, President, IARU Region 2, recently released the following announcement.

"It gives me a great deal of pleasure to announce the appointment of William "Bill" Zellers WA4FKI as the Region 2 Monitoring Service Coordinator. Any matters or questions concerning the Monitoring Service related to Region 2 can be forwarded to Bill.

The contact information is as follows:

William C. Zellers WA4FKI
Monitoring Service Coordinator,
Region 2217 Brainard Avenue
Fayetteville, NC 28301-3803
USA

Telephone: +1 910-488-6244
mail: wa4fki@nc.rr.com

Bill is excited about taking on the duties and responsibilities as MS Coordinator for Region 2 and assisting in the effort to keep the amateur radio bands free of intruding signals.

Join me in congratulating Bill on his appointment and wish him luck in his efforts in his new position."

Many Countries also have their own Monitoring coordinator, who reports to the Regional coordinator. RAC's Monitoring coordinator for Canada is Don Moman VE6JY
