KDØERE, Doug Bergsnev, is Treasurer for the Club and a member since he earned his Technician license in August of 2008. Born in Brainerd, he lived on a farm just west of South Long Lake until he was in 3rd grade. He and his family then moved to a little town called Greenbush (yes, that is still in Minnesota). With a draft number of 13 in 1972, he had no doubt that he would be drafted, so he selected the service he wanted before he got his draft notice. He chose the Navy and enjoyed it enough to stay for 23 years. When he retired from the Navy, he returned to his roots in the lake country. Since Navy retirement, Doug has been working for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Crosby as the Maintenance Engineer. In addition, he drives Bus #4 for the Crosby-Ironton Schools. He now owns a home east of Brainerd about a quarter of a mile from the airport. Doug became interested in Amateur Radio when his brother-in-law, W5CCL, Charles Lane, moved to Crosby. He enjoys being a part of the Amateur Radio community and holds a General Class license.
