DISASTER REPORT:

There are no local disasters to report for December. There was a Disaster Services meeting that emphasized the importance of having generated power at disaster sites.

As minutes are updated as well as any improvements to the site itself will be announced via e-mail.

CLUB STATION:

The 220mhz TNC has been replaced, the old one will be used for remote purposes in the field. Mark (N8EGJ) has secured an e-prom burner that can lock in the TNC settings even in the event of a full re-set.

The club computer is now connected to an un-interruptible power supply to help secure information in the event of a power outage. A new route for coax cables will be sought in the spring.

OLD BUSINESS:

The Silver Trails Scout camp has informed us that there will be an event held there on Field Day weekend. We are not sure what effect this will have on the Field Day activities yet. The club insurance for equipment has not been secured through the ARRL yet.

NEW BUSINESS:

A 440mhz hand held transceiver has been procured to be used with the new IVR setup.
