For immediate release: Mark Adams, WA5MA, appointed Tulsa County Assistant Emergency Coordinator
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Adams, WA5MA, as ARES Assistant Emergency Coordinator (AEC) for Tulsa County.
While living in California, Mark was a member of the RACES organization for many years supporting the City of Corona with communications, DUI checkpoints, EOC activations, aerial ATV, and staffing the mobile command vehicle. First licensed in 1986 as N6MWH he changed to WA5MA when he moved to Oklahoma. Mark has been an active member of Tulsa ARES and the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps for years participating in the hospital nets, simulated emergency tests, and providing communications for our numerous bicycle events. In his role as AEC, Mark will support and assist the Tulsa County EC in the planning and execution of our emergency communications plan.
Mark currently serves as the President of the Tulsa Amateur Radio Club (TARC) overseeing a dramatic growth in club membership and activities. His favorite part of ham radio are the friendships along with building and testing antennas.
Please join me in welcoming Mark to his new position in Tulsa County ARES.
Paul Teel, WB5ANX
