The Butts County Amateur Radio Emergency Service group not only has new officers, it recently bought some new equipment to improve local ham radio communications. At the March club meeting, Ed Hoard was elected president. Other officers elected include Elaine Stachowiak as vice president, Darlene Ragon as secretary and John Lipscomb as treasurer. The new officers were installed by Georgia American Amateur Radio League Section Manager David Benoist. A gavel was presented to the club by outgoing president Buzz Kutcher. For his service as the first president of the group, Kutcher was presented with a plaque and given gavel in return. Kutcher is still the group’s emergency coordinator. New repeaters are on the air from the Sylvan Grove Hospital ham radio site, Kutcher said. They give ham radio operators multiple ways to access the airwaves, be they analog or digital smart technologies for amateur radio, or D-STAR, internet signals. “It is a dual-purpose repeater,” Kutcher said. “It will operate in the mode it hears, analog or D-STAR. It should have the same coverage footprint as before. It worked well during the testing.”
