TREASURER - Bert Heusinger - KI5CGU
Bert has been interested in radio reception since the age of 10 when he would log the number of AM broadcast stations received on an 8-transistor pocket radio. He obtained his Novice license in the middle 1970’s as WB4DCG, but never furthered the hobby due to career obligations. Retirement opened new doors!
Bert was elected as the clubs Treasurer, October 2019, and has been a great asset to the club. He has offered his knowledge to newly licensed ham operators and current club members. Bert's efforts didn't go unnoticed as he was awarder "Elmer of the Year" by the Cherokee Village Ham Radio Club in 2019. Bert has proven to be a valuable asset to the club by creating a financial data base to keep track of the clubs billing and accounts payable while providing timely monthly club treasurer reports.
