General Membership Meeting January 1998

Roll Call: 12 people were present.

Minutes: Motion to accept minutes of last meeting made by Ed Spore, seconded by Kip, KB8WWH

Treasurer's Report: $1547.12 Balance

Motions: Motion to accept report made by Gene (NA8I) seconded by Ellie (N8EXE). Motion made to take the 4 clinder Genset back to Jim (NM8X), because of lack of use by group. Motion made by Kip (KB8WWH) and seconded by Ed Spore. It was agreed that all improvements to the Genset would be left on it. The Genset would go to NA8I's home for maintenance and to remove it from club trailer. NA8I will make sure that it is maintenanced and returned in good order to NM8X and will be delivered to the place where Jim (NM8X) wants it.

Club Projects: There was a discussion about changing the Net night for the 2 meter net for ARCARS and the Traders Net. Everyone agreed that moving the net would not be beneficial so the subject was dropped.

Old Business: There was discussion on a module activated by DTMF tones to turn audio on at night so that we could do call up during sleep hours and receivers would not have to monitor normal traffic. The cost was a bit to high so still looking for a cheaper Alternative. $40 to $60 is still considered high for price, so please help us find a lower cost DTMF board. Fund Raiser ideas are still needed, so please, some input is required by the members to get this off the ground. Ideas for increasing membership are needed, please think on them and come to the next meeting with a helpful plan.

Adjournment: Motion to adjourn by Ed Spore and seconded by all present.
