Two District Representatives are appointed by the District EC (DEC) of each of the 7 districts in the state of Michigan. These representatives represent the Packet Radio interests of the counties within their district and therefore MUST have a good understanding of all Packet activity within their region. A solid understanding of AX.25 Packet and a strong understanding of TCP/IP protocols, routing, and methods of Internet-style communications is highly desired.
Should the DEC fail to appoint representatives to the DRG, the DRG Chair reserves the right to fill these posititions with persons who he deems are qualified for the job. We give the DEC first dibs, but the Chair will fill these positions regardless.
Duties of the District Representative are:
- Be in touch with what is happening with regard to Packet and RF Data Comm in their District.
- Attend Packet meetings and ARES/RACES/ARPSC meetings within their District on a regular basis.
- Have a good understanding of AX.25 Packet. An understanding of TCP/IP and NetROM are an added bonus.
- Attend quarterly DRG staff meetings to represent Packet activity in their District.
DRG District Representative - Contact Information:
It is imperitive that District Reps be easy to contact. Hence, their name, callsign, address, email, and phone numbers are listed here.
End users should always be able to easily identify and reach their District Rep whenever they have questions or concerns about
the AMPRnet network or Packet Operations within their County or District. Easy contact and fluid communications *are* what keeps this organization running smoothly.
Our goal is to allow everyone a VOICE in how the network grows. We want as many people as possible to have skin in the game and feel that they are a piece of the process!
