HCARES MEETING NOTES 01/07/2012

The meeting was called to order by Steve Quear, WA9FTT, at the EMA office at 10:00 AM.
Sherrie Vermande, KD5YBP, presented the Treasurer’s report. The budget was presented. The Club approved the budget as stated.

Postage $ 10.00 Indiana Repeater Council $ 8.00 Indiana Secretary State $ 10.00 QSL.net $ 50.00 Amateur Radio Newsline $50.00 Field Day $125.00 Miscellaneous $35.00 IRCC Dues $10.00 Club Prizes $ 25.00 TOTAL $ 323.00
The Club approved paying the $36.29 expense that Eric Eilers, K9ZX, spent on repairing the power supply.
On the 2nd Saturday morning in February there will be a packet workshop at the Cicero Fire station. This is highly recommended that you attend. This will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon. It is open to all members.
We discussed putting a voice identification module on the county HCARES repeater.
We discussed getting more amateur’s to join the club. It was suggested that we announce this in the Marion county net. We could tell them that now our repeater is a wide area repeater. Joe Marsh, KJ9M, will do this. We have suggested that we have each person bring in 3 suggestions for programs for the next meeting so that we can arrange for the programs. Eric Eilers proposed to give a talk on a long wire antenna that he built over Thanksgiving for the next February meeting. Tim Vermande, KD5URS, will get some ideas on website design and a shorter URL.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 AM.
