<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Greg Thies here, a voice you rarely hear from on this forum. I’ve been the chapter’s >1GHz frequency coordinator for somewhere around 30 years. I’ll be retiring from KING5 in mid-February and thought it would
also be an appropriate time to hand the reigns of frequency coordinating for the region off as well as I’ll be based out of Utah for large portions of the year. Things used to be much busier coordination-wise locally, but inquiries and requests now are infrequent
and usually only revolve around sports and other events. As you are likely quite aware spectrum has changed quite a bit and there are many who want in on the former BAS only areas. We haven’t had many issues at all so far.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m always happy to assist in any way of course with transition or questions from a new coordinator going forward. Best email after mid-February will be
