SDXA MEETING
\nAPRIL 5, 2007<\/p>\n
Meeting was called to order by Lamar, WA7LT at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
Program was introduced and presented by Gary K7OX. The program was on Field Day and the progress thus far to get things going for 2007. The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stats\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from the last several years were put together by Randy and presented. Gary has put together a new menu and program of how the food service will work and be handled. He presented a menu of Spaghetti, Garlic Bread, Salad for dinner on Saturday and a breakfast of Eggs, Sausage, Sweet Rolls, Juice and Coffee for Sunday morning. He is expecting to have a better \u00e2\u20ac\u0153head count\u00e2\u20ac\u009d than we have had the last few years. Gary also advised that we would be using WriteLog this year and also be introducing RTTY into Field Day. He presented information that he believes the VHF Station has been reasonably unproductive in the past history of Field Day. Corky, NQ7V; and Chris, N7VQH have volunteered to help get the equipment together for the VHF Station for this year. We are still looking for antennas (2 for each band). KARS will not be actively assisting in the Field Day this year, but a couple of their members have advised us that they would like to be included in our head count and participate on their own (but not as KARS club per se\u00e2\u20ac\u2122). GOTA will get us an extra 20 points for every 20 contacts by each operator. Rudy, W7FCB has volunteered to see to the Public Relations portion of the preparations for Field Day. Wayne, WA1PMA is handling all the computer preparations. We are also looking for 2 Heil Headsets for Field Day also. The June Meeting will be our final preparation for making sure everything is in order before Field Day.<\/p>\n
Our May 2007 Program will be of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Log Book of the World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153QSLing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
