Kirk shared that he found the proper repeater pair to use for our portable/emergency repeater project. According to the TASMA (Two Meter Aera Spectrum Management Association for Southern California) bandplan, we should use 147.585 for the input and 144.930 for the output.

We talked a lot about the ARRL Field Day in June (28-29). We would like to do something as a club for this event. We thought that we might be able to do something simple by pulling the EMCC trailer to the A6 Parking Lot and set it up there for the event. Hopefully we will have the portable tower purchased by that time and can use that. Otherwise we can make sure the built in antennas work. We will need lots of volunteers to run the stations and help with the logistics of the event. I (Kirk) am willing to coordinate things, but I can’t do it all. If we have it on Aerospace property, will we be able to have retirees on site overnight? We should see if there is toilet access, maybe the porta-potties for the construction site will be accessible. Volunteers needed. Please go to the ARRL site and read the documentation and rules for the event.

Bob Simoneau N4RAS joined the meeting and had several questions about setting up a quad band mobile rig. He is interested in the FT-9800R but also wants to have 10 meter sideband to be able to talk to the big rigs. Does anyone have any ideas for him?

We need more presentation ideas and more presenters. Does anyone use WIN system much and can present on that? Any other ideas or areas of the hobby you want to know about?
