COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP & LEADERSHIP
The members of the WCF Section Committee comprise a wide range of amateur radio interests. We are contesters, repeater owners, packet enthusiasts, experimenters, builders, emergency communicators, Skywarn spotters, DXers and much more. We hold all license classes except Novice. We have members young and old. We have new hams and old timers. Most importantly ... we have come together to work towards a common goal of making the ARRL field organization in West Central Florida work for the amateurs in our backyards!
