FEBRUARY 2019 mEETING

Kirk, Wayne, and Teresa were in attendance in person and several people called in.

We have a new logo courtesy of Tom’s wife. Thank you!

Currently the club has over $7K in our bank account. Kirk’s spending proposal is to do A2 shack upgrades: $1K for a tower, $500 for a rotor, and $5K for a nice StepIR antenna. Also we need to spend a little on Buddipole repair. We need to spend the funds this year because next year we want to ask for money to refurbish the A3 shack if the safety department turns it over to us.

Upcoming events: main one is Field Day June 22-23. The plan this year is to use the trailer in the VC1 parking lot. This configuration is more like a real emergency so we should “test like we fly.” It will also allow for more public access without having to go through badging and escorting and all.

We discussed Field Day issues.  Tom and Don are unfortunately not going to be able to make field day.  Andrew volunteered to help out.  I hope we get other volunteers for field day as well.
