Old Business
Al, W8FYZ explained the status of the antenna at the new site and
showed a "pigtail" he recently obtained that should help us connect
to future 7/8" cable existing on the WHWL Tower. Al stated he has
not had time to move antenna up to higher temporary location on the
Tower. Mike, KE8IL suggested we get with ElCom Services right away
and just get it to the top at it's permanent location.

Al, W8FYZ explained the status of the Controller and expected to
finish it soon.

Mike, KE8IL inquired of the status of the writing of the new Lease
with Gospel Opportunities Network and Al, W8FYZ stated he has not
worked on it yet but will soon. Coral, KC8DTE asked if we will have
to pay new Landlord back-rent once we establish Lease. Andy, KB8PPE
(representing new Landlord) stated he did not think so. Al, W8FYZ
interjected that we are low on Tower and not in our "planned" location,
so we are not using much of WHWL's resources at this time. He also
mentioned the need for a backup Electricity run from the WHWL Building
in case ATandT Pulls out of the Shack we are in.

Mike, KE8IL gave a history of why and how we moved to the new location
from the Verizon site on Marquette Mountain to the new members present
at today's meeting. Al, W8FYZ mentioned we will actually be higher at
the new location.

 

New Business
None.

Motion to Adjourn was made by Coral-KC8DTE, Second by Pete-KC8YTX, Approved.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:50PM. We then enjoyed Coffee and Snacks courtesy
