Who Are the Current Officers of the Gallatin Ham Radio Club?
Updated
The Gallatin Ham Radio Club (W7ED) lists three officers for 2026: Craig Shankwitz (AJ7ID) as President/Secretary, Dan Poole (KJ7MT) as Treasurer, and Michael Andersen (N7DAY) as Historian/Web Admin. This is the officer roster published on the club's website for the 2026 year, so it reflects the current lineup as of that listing.
2026 Officer Roster
| Position | Name | Call Sign |
|---|---|---|
| President / Secretary | Craig Shankwitz | AJ7ID |
| Treasurer | Dan Poole | KJ7MT |
| Historian / Web Admin | Michael Andersen | N7DAY |
What Each Role Covers
- President / Secretary — Leads the club and handles its correspondence and record-keeping. The combined title suggests one person covers both the top leadership role and the minute-taking/administrative duties that a separate secretary would otherwise handle.
- Treasurer — Manages the club's finances, which for a volunteer radio club typically means dues, donations, and any expenses tied to repeaters, events, or exams.
- Historian / Web Admin — Maintains the club's records and its online presence, including the website where this officer list and the club's net and meeting information appear.
Keeping the List Current
Officer terms are tied to the year, so the 2026 roster above is the one to rely on for that period; future years may bring changes. The club's site presents this as its current officer listing rather than a historical archive, so if you're reading this well after 2026, check the site again for an updated roster.
How to Reach the Officers
The club runs a message reflector on groups.io, which it uses to distribute meeting links, urgent messages, meeting minutes, and event notices, and to keep local operators in touch. That reflector is the channel the club points members to for club communications, so it's the practical route for contacting officers or asking about a specific role.
