\nMAY 4, 2006
\n7:00 P.M.<\/p>\n
Dale (WU7X) called the meeting to order.<\/p>\n
We are doing things a bit differently this evening. We will have the
\nprogram presentation before the meeting.<\/p>\n
The program for this evening was given by Lamar (WA7LT). The program was on
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How High Should your Antenna Go\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and Lamar will complete this presentation
\nin June, so please plan to attend the next meeting for the very interesting
\nand informative conclusion to this program. There was also a short video
\npresentation (Potomic Valley Radio Club) that went with Lamar\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s program.<\/p>\n
Field Day Discussion:<\/p>\n
KARS will be working with us this year.<\/p>\n
Kirk (K7EKM) will be heading up the Phone Station and he reports that all is
\ncoming along well.<\/p>\n
Lamar will be heading up the CW Station and he reports the SDXA has
\npurchased a Transceiver.<\/p>\n
GOTA will be helped along by the VHF Club and they will provide a turn key
\nstation and we would provide a gap vertical.<\/p>\n
Computer and Soft Ware \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Kirk (K7EKM) is providing a computer to load up for
\n1 station (laptop)
\nDale (WU7X) can provide an LCD CW Station that needs a serial board for
\nkeying<\/p>\n
Antennas will be headed up by Dan (N5AR). He has built 2 verticals. One
\nperson can walk them up. Wayne (WA1PMA) has been helping out and they are
\nput together at Dan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s home. Dan feels it will all work well. A Dipole for
\n40 Meter is needed. Jim (NE7F) will volunteer a high tower for 80 Meters.
\nWayne has built a radio system for it. An 80 Meter Dipole will be there as
\nwell. There is going to be a total of 6 antennas with coax.<\/p>\n
Generator \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one is being provided by John (KE7CSF)<\/p>\n
Kirk (K7EKM) has new coax (500 feet). It was decided that he would cut (2)
\n100 foot lengths and (2) 150 foot lengths and put connectors on them.<\/p>\n
Food will be picked up by Mary Beth (KC7QGV) and David (AC7MV).<\/p>\n
Motion to accept the minutes as presented on the Web Page (m\/s\/c)<\/p>\n
The Treasurer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Report was presented and given by Lamar (WA7LT).<\/p>\n
Announcements:
\nTotal cost of Insurance brought in by Lam is $325.00 yearly. This matter
\nwill be discussed by the officers and then brought back to membership with a
\nrecommendation. General consensus at this time is that it may just be too
\nexpensive and not serve a good enough purpose.<\/p>\n
Pacific North West DX Convention will be July 21, 22 and 23.<\/p>\n
7th Call Area QSO Party will be May 6th and 7th. It will be from 6:00 a.m.
\non the 6th through midnight on the 7th.<\/p>\n
We received two new members this evening:
\nW7KLL Kenneth Lindahl
\nW7RJR Robert Raymond
\nWelcome to both of you.<\/p>\n
Lamar (WA7LT) reminded us that distribution of Field Day responsibilities
\nneed to be shared and two major things need to be remembered.
\nHave a good performance socially
\nHave a lot of participation shared by all<\/p>\n
No new information from Hamfest.<\/p>\n
There will be some new items coming up for sale as soon as Kirk (K7EKM) gets
\nthem dismantled. He is dismantling a tower and will have sections and parts
\navailable for sale.<\/p>\n
