Tech Report:

Albert had a hard drive crash on the WB7AWL bbs. He installed a new
hard drive and has it back up and running with a UPS in place.

The 9600 link to the BBS is back to its original conformation. The
TNC needed the chips reseated in the 9600 section and he realigned
both radios so the link is now ticking over like clockwork. He reports
that the Soda site looks good, no bent or broken antennas, and all
the other radios in the stack are performing well.

If you need any service monitor work, Albert has a very good one. 
Contact him, he's itching to keep it busy.

Steve, WB6YQP is at the ORRC meeting.

Everything is up and running.

The JOCO power supply was put back into operation. An IC chip had
to be replaced.

ORRC representation. A letter of authorization is needed by the
representative. We need to get one put together.

Hamaker 220MHz Antenna. Isopole? Should replace with a Scala
antenna. It provides the link to Burney. We need to look up
previous meeting minutes to see what was discussed about this.

SCARA node. Site owner hasn't made a decision on what is to be
done with the building. He leases the land from CDF.

=====

Old Business:

Hostmaster II - Check to see if it will work with other TNC's.

XPWin will handle any TNC product.

=====

New Business:
