Alinco DR1200: The DR1200 is repaired and has
been put back into service. Cyrus will submit the documentation

Club License: FCC 610B received and must be
filled out and sent in. Tom is now the station trustee until a
permanent trustee can be found. The repeater (146.61-) is
operating under Charlie's call (KB2LXS) until the club license is
renewed. If you use the club station, use
your own call until the paperwork has been filed!
Budget: Need to work on getting lock fixed and
insurance submitted. The club account currently has $383.82 in
savings, $45.83 in checking, and made $1.03 in interest in past
month. Doug will need to set up an appointment to have CFCU
account names changed before the end of this semester.

and should have been shipped by now. Doug has the check for
approx. $383. (still need to pay E-bay)
CW WPX SSB Contest: CQ WPX DX Contest (Phone) is
this weekend. It will be starting Friday at 1900L. We will be
operating as N2WLG. Tom will probably be up here 9AM-12PM and
5-10PM. Excellent conditions on many bands lately with strong
openings into Central and Southeast Asia on 15 m. (*MUCH* better
openings than past contests!) We will also be doing our station
cleanup. The club may also spring for pizza.
Interference Problem: Possible interference
problem noted with police radios when running the HF amplifier
during ARRL DX Contest. We will look into fixing this problem.
