Former president, Jim Cathy officially gave the club
gavel to the new president, Steve Merriman, KD5JGF. The club stood and
pledged allegiance to the U.S. flag. There were four officers and four
members present for a total attendance of eight present at the meeting. The
repeater and antennas were discussed. The antenna received ice damage and
Doyle put the roof on he repeater shack January 5, 2003. Ralph has talked to
Scott Aringer about when he goes up the tower for AETN and he will do the
work for the dub. We discussed bringing Our antenna down to about 250 feet,
where the Health Department has an antenna. It was decided to call the net
on 147.250, Dale MoGraw repeater, while our repeater is down. Ralph talked
to the company about the Mark IV the technician wants to keep it about
another week to check it out to see if its really fixed Steve wants us to
work on something to get more interest, so it you have some ideas, Let it be
known.
