Jim, W7TXU, has heard nothing on the Labor Day Parade so at this point we are not involved.

 OLD BUSINESS: NONE

 NEW BUSINESS: Jim, W7TXU, made a motion that the Club pay half the cost of a new set of tapes from the ARRL for the Novice Class license. Elmer, KC7BUC, seconded the motion. It was voted on and passed. The Rodeo City Radio Club will let us know our share of the cost.

There also was a discussion on the Club purchasing the MFJ antenna analyzer that Elmer bought for Craig at Seaside and then having it available for Club members use.  The idea was tabled ubtil Craig and Beth get back as Craig had asked Elmer to get it and he may want to use it full time on his rig.

Echolink is getting closer  as there is one more piece to aquire and it should be back on, hopefully.

 MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS: The Sky Meadows system is working better thanks to Harold’s, WA7UHW, efforts. Another trip is coming up to replace the transmitter ICOM to improve modulation.

The county amateur emergency services will form an ARES/RACES group. 

The meeting was adjourned at 0800 hours
