Besides interesting talks, there will be an opportunity for an added cost to tour the radio room on the battleship Iowa. More information on all of these topics is available in the powerpoint presentation, which can be found on the club web site.

Tom did a SOTA hike and got at least 4 contacts.
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.
Antenna survey for the A2 shack will take place Thursday Feb 2 at 1 pm for antenna planning.

A6 shack: The D8 shack will eventually go away if Aerospace gets rid of D8, the A2 shack is in need of some work, the A3 shack is owned by Security, and the D1 shack is VHF/UHF only and is on a private lab bench. A new shack in A6 could provide additional capability as well as a roof-mounted antenna that could be used by the trailer (in the event that the building is still standing but not accessible to personnel.) So far, all of the proposed rooms (the electrical room and the stairwell) have been rejected by management. The new proposals include the old networking room and a Tuff Shed on the roof. Electrical rooms in general may be problematic, which may spell trouble for the D8 and A2 shacks.
For A3, we need a replacement HF antenna as the old one is missing. The two proposed choices are the Cushcraft R9 or the GAP Eagle DX. Contact Kirk with your preference.
AEA Octoberfest: Wed Oct 19 from 11-1. We’ll have a table, 2 chairs, a canopy, and electricity. Bob and Tom will be there and others are welcome to join them. They will have the Buddipole, radio, and computer hooked up and will do a JT65 demo.

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.
