We will discuss
the direction of the club for the next year, and Greg Buchwald is
tentatively planning to do a program on high efficiency spectrum use in
the amateur bands. It will cover the experimental channel splitting
system using TRBO between Schaumburg and Crystal Lake at UHF
frequencies.
In addition, Ed
has asked us to discuss the following, or at least begin discussion:
1.
Re-establish ARRL affiliation if it is not currently in line
2.
Complete a PM check on the HF antennas…it has been many years since we
gave them any love
3.
Finish the repeater move project.
He also has
suggested that we discuss the following:
4.
Field day 2012
5.
Support for newly licensed hams out of Bill Thompson’s tech
classes (elmering to get them on the air)
6.
Permanent amplifier for the shack / installation of the Dentron 160 –
10M 1kW amplifier that was given to the club and/or procurement of a
replacement transformer for the club 30L1.
I look forward to
seeing you on the 17th.
