A2 shack:  a Hy-Gain model 18AVQII 5-band vertical was found in the A2 shack.  It covers 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80 meters.  It will need a radial kit and a mast and guys, some of which may or may not be in the shack.  If not, we need to purchase them.  Bob is in charge of this project.  At some point in the future we may have a lunchtime antenna raising project.

A3 shack:  needs an HF antenna, which must be purchased by security on our recommendation.  Our starting recommendation is a rooftop tower and beam as the most useful in an emergency situation if we want to reach Colorado or Chantilly.  Club members should research tower/beam options and make recommendations for our next meeting.  May want to go with the STEP-IR antenna.

Christmas Party:  Don gave a report on the Christmas party preparations.  The Proud Bird is undergoing renovations so we will have the Aerospace cafeteria cater the party.  The party will be December 8 in A1/1029 A/B.  RSVP by Dec 4 so we can order the right amount of food.  We use the same rules for the raffle as last year.

Club member reports:  Various members reported on what they have been doing in the hobby.  Ryan just installed a new security system in his house and now has to deal with RFI issues.  Tom has been making a lot of packet contacts and will be taking his Extra exam on Saturday.  Joe just put up a Step-IR vertical at home and now has to install radials.  Kirk was recently in Hawaii and made a lot of JT65 contacts, getting 18 countries as far as Namibia and Sri Lanka.

D8 shack:  80 m vertical antenna was damaged in the windstorms last year.  Joe wondered if we should fix it or take it down.  Given that it is our only 80 m capability at the moment, Kirk suggested that we fix it.

Tom is the W6AGO custodian for Logbook of the World, so let him know if there are any contacts he should log.

Raffle:  Kirk won a flashlight, Don got a multimeter, Ryan got a tape measure, and Teresa got a 4-in-1 screwdriver.  Kirk ordered a secret set of super-special prizes for the January meeting so be sure to come to the January meeting to be eligible to win.
