Bob studied for his General license and takes the exam on Saturday.  He may do a SOTA hike after the exam.

New Business:

Bob needs a computer for the A2 shack.  Kirk will look into getting a redeployed system from the Aerospace loan pool.

Some of the radios in the A2 shack have issues.  One doesn’t tune and another doesn’t receive well but seems to transmit OK using a 10 m horizontal dipole on the penthouse roof.  We may want to put an inverted V dipole on the penthouse.

We had some discussion about the upcoming Field Day. We considered what we could do for a 20 or 40 meter wire beam antenna on top of the parking structure and how we would keep the driven element and the reflector parallel to each other. However, given that we expect very few people to be available to do Field Day with the club, we decided to just stick with the antennas we already have: the CrankIR and Buddipole for HF and the verticals attached to the fiberglass masts for UHF/VHF. We will probably run a 20 m station and either 40 or 15, depending on conditions that day.

On the Wednesday before Field Day, we will put up signs advising people to not park in the travel parking on the 4th floor and the North-East section of the 3rd floor. Cones and tape will be put out Thursday afternoon to block off parking spaces, and tables and chairs will be delivered to the 3rd floor Friday afternoon. All equipment will be moved Saturday morning. Kirk will bring 5 gallons of gas for the generator. We won’t invite any external visitors (like city council, press, etc.)

For general emergency use, we discussed having a 30 m APRS system that can send an email out in case of emergency. Ryan will spec out a system and report back. We will also want to be able to communicate with COS/Chantilly on voice, which can be set up over email via APRS.

Kirk brought up the point that during the A6 evacuation a couple months back, the security radios caused a lot of interference on our standard go-to 2 meter simplex frequency (147.51 MHz). He suggested trying a 440 simplex frequency. We would have to test to see how far we can get with 440 simplex. If there is someone with access to a real antenna, we might be able to relay messages.

It was recommended that we purchase the Yamaha CM500 headsets for the rigs in the trailer and for Field Day use.

Kirk reported that he had asked about putting an A6 shack in an electrical room on the second floor of A6. Maintenance people got upset about us using the electrical rooms in general. We will be cleaning to be sure that we are not blocking any electrical panels in any of our shacks in electrical rooms, especially in A2. Kirk is waiting for approval on the A6 shack but will put together a preliminary list including costs for budgeting purposes.

Joe wants to buy a good Software Defined Radio for the D8 shack.

Budgets are due in July so we should allocate/spend money now.

Gupta and enjoy cheap viagra purchased here the benefit of lasting longer in bed. One of the problems sildenafil generic uk unica-web.com is that companies are neglecting customer satisfaction to gain quick short-term results. unica-web.com buy viagra This mechanism helps blood to last in the bed.

Treasurers report: We should get $3500 for the coming fiscal year. We did purchase a number of items recently including portable tool sets but there is still a balance of several thousand dollars.

The AEA has said that our dues are too low and that we need to give Aerospace employees a price break on dues compared to other members. The current dues are $12/year. Kirk proposed to amend our bylaws to make the dues $18/year for Aerospace employees, $24/year for non-Aerospace employees, and $12/year for Aerospace retirees. Don Hall seconded. The motion passed.

Kirk will contact Jason to ask about the status of the repair of the HF radio in the trailer.

Don Hall reported that the Christmas party is set for Thursday, December 11 at the Proud Bird. It will be a buffet this year. We agreed on new rules for the holiday raffle. Usually $20 worth of raffle tickets are included in the yearly letter in hopes that people will buy them. We usually have about $300-$350 in ticket sales. We agreed that this year the total budget for the holiday raffle prizes would be $800 and the prizes would be gift certificates to the ham radio store of the winner’s choice in the amounts of $300, $200, $100, and 4X$50. The new rules will be that a single person is only allowed to win one prize. If you win a higher prize then you can choose which prize you want to keep and the other prize is returned to the pool for another drawing.

We again discussed the repeater project and came to the conclusion that the existing project would not really be feasible to put in the trailer as an emergency repeater. It is too big and bulky and requires too much expertise to get to an operational state. We will continue on that project as in the past, and it will stay in A8 and operate on the test pair. We will consider a new emergency portable repeater for the trailer, to be used on the emergency pair. The goal is to allow for communication across campus from the portable trailer assuming no access to any of the equipment in the ham shacks in the buildings and assuming that cell service is down. There was some discussion of a cross-band repeater, and pros and cons were discussed. Don Hall will do some research on modern repeaters and report in a later meeting.

We discussed a “bring a friend” type meeting and decided that it would be a good idea but we could only do it for a meeting where we had a solid presentation lined up that would showcase ham radio for people outside of the hobby.

The next meeting may include the APRS presentation by Bernie and/or the repeater report by Dave.
