IPRC Board Of Directors

Charley Ray, President K4NYN

I have been a licensed ham for about three years now, but I have been playing with radios and electronics most of my life.  Growing up in Rural New Mexico, Citizens Band (CB) radios were the cellphones of that era and that location.  Radios were the way that we communicated with all of our friends and family in the area, and coordinated all of our recreational activities and weekend events.  I also used radios a lot through my volunteer involvement with the Civil Air Patrol and other military (USAF) auxiliary organizations.  That experience installing, using, and tinkering with radios was a huge influence in my decision to pursue an electronics engineering degree.  Decades later, I still very much enjoy tinkering with radios, antenna, and communications gear.  Living in a canyon in the Colorado mountains, cell phone service is limited where I live, and usually non-existent where I often find myself exploring and enjoying the Colorado backcountry with my family.  Ham radio lets us stay in contact and better prepared for emergencies.  As a volunteer firefighter and member of ARES, the Colorado Emergency Reporting Network (CERN), and Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery, I fully appreciate the need for good communications both when working and playing I have been involved with the IPRC for about 3 years now, and I am very proud to have been elected to serve the club as Vice President and now President.
