OLD
BUSINESS
VE7CRJ The MCX-100's are sold to the pep
groups and we are
waiting for the checks. More are available
from
Forestry for
members who want them. 83 portables
have
also been
purchased with accessories for re-sale.
VE7CRJ VE7OG
was to have been at the meeting to
demonstrate
the
portable repeater using portable radios but
was
unavoidably
detained.
VE7CRJ The phone net was begun tonight with
VE7SKT
spearheading
it. It was a thundering failure.
Perhaps
because it is
May? We will try again in September.
VE7NEK The
audit was completed with only one recommendation.
That the invoices be
annotated with a more
complete
description
making tracking easier.
Everything
balanced!
VE7CRJ The subscription for CQ-VHF has been
ordered for the
Kimberley Library. Hopefully they won't go out
of
business just
because we ordered a subscription
like
the last magazine
did.
VE7CRJ The Jog & Bike meet this Sunday, May
16th needs a
couple of
more volunteers.
VE7CRJ The Frequency coordination
money was sent in but
we
decided to keep
Trevor VE7TMG here, this time.
