January 2016 Meeting Minutes

1-28-16

AEA Amateur Radio Club Meeting

In attendance:  KK6DCX Don Hall, KK6WYW Bob Lanahan, AG6OD Teresa Moore

The daily net has been going well.

Teresa gave a report on the repeater status.  Mike Worshum is working the issue.  Dave Ping repaired the repeater but they still need to purchase a new backup battery which will require a vote from the city council.  In the meantime, we are welcome to use the Hughes repeater.

There was a CERT exercise scheduled for February, Don Hall will check with Jason Bayonne as to the status on that.

It would be good to have a computer for the A3 shack so that the net email can be sent directly from there.  Don will check into that.

No one knew the status of the monthly net with the Colorado and Chantilly offices.

We need to start thinking about Field Day, and schedule some lunchtime practices where we set up antennas and try to make contact.
