R3EMCOMM would like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals and groups for their commitment to amateur radio, the “Radio for All” construct, and for their support in taking a different approach to bringing future ham radio operators into the hobby.
To all the Elmers out there, who have worked tirelessly to help increase our knowledge and skill, we thank you!
To the Culpeper Amateur Radio Association and its members, for their ongoing support and permission to use the W4CUL repeaters, we thank you!
To Alan Thompson W6WN, Public Information Officer for the El Dorado County Amateur Radio Club, and to the members of the El Dorado Amateur Radio Club, for their permission to “steal smart” much of the information used for the R3EMCOMM Radio Network and GMRS web pages, we thank you!
To Ed Gibbs KW4GF, ARRL Virginia Assistant Section Manager and retired educator, for always believing that there was a better way to do things, and that courage was important, especially in the face of adversity!
To our spouses, partners, and friends (and especially our children) who think that we are often crazy, obsessed, or a little bit of both when it comes to radio communication, digital modes, GMRS, antennas, technology in general, and all of the other stuff we talk about. You know who you are, and we thank you!
And last, but not least, to the current members of R3EMCOMM, for not losing faith in the hope that we can do something different, and something big, that will add value to our communities. You also know who you are, and I thank you!
