<https://www.qcwa.org/qcwa.php>QCWA Bulletin 2021-001 - New QCWA 
Webmaster Tony Perales, AI1U*

The QCWA Board are pleased to announce new QCWA Webmaster Tony Perales, 
AI1U. Perales was first licensed in 1995 as KB2VJW, and is QCWA Life 
Member # 38257.

Current Webmaster Bob Roske, NØUF has been serving QCWA as a volunteer 
Webmaster since 2002. Bob would now like to retire and pass the baton 
on. Bob's dedication over all these years has made a huge difference in 
moving QCWA into the 21st century with digital content. Bob will 
continue to mentor Tony as Administrator to ensure continuity.

Perales comes to us with considerable experience in many areas. "I have 
used “radios” for a very long time; particularly one of my memorable 
moments was during the World Trade Center; I used our HF-Radio system 
called (FNARS – FEMA National Radio System) from the US Virgin Islands 
(where I was at the time) to communicate with our Headquarters office in 
the Washington DC area. I continue to participate in local radio nets 
when time allows.

I have two radio repeaters to serve my community in Gwinnett County, 
Lawrenceville, GA. I have a Fusion repeater and a Motorola repeater that 
is connected to the c-bridge. I am working on my 50 WAS certificate, and 
have two states left to finish this victory run."

Perales has been employed with FEMA for the last 24 years. His hobbies 
include working with people who have disabilities. He is 25% hearing 
impaired and suffers from 9/11 injuries. He is a certified American Red 
Cross instructor delivering first aid, CPR and AED training for his 
community. He has served as Sergeant Sheriff Deputy with DeKalb County 
for the last 11 years, and helps facilitate administrative and IT support.

47 & 73,

Ken Oelke, VE6AFO
President, Quarter Century Wireless Association, Inc.
