January 22, 1997 Meeting Minutes
Kyle was not able to make the meeting, but here is a short
summary of what happened at the 1/22 meeting:
Attendees:
Tom Schwabel, N2WLG
Jonah Probell, N1QLO
Brad Ackerman, N1NMB
Kerman Glaser, N2HUO
Business:
VE Testing: Date: Jan 27th in Rockefeller 230 at
7:00PM. We still have to confirm this, however. Check back later
for more information. As soon as Brian gets his accreditation, we
will 3 extra class ARRL accredited VE's so we could even run our
own session!
Budget /Financial Matters. We discussed items to
put on this semester's SAFC budget application. We decided to
apply for a 2 meter amplifier (approx. $125), 2 good lightning
arrestors ($75 each?), and money to repair or replace the
combination lock to the station ($75). We still need to decide
what to do with the proceeds from the sale of the equipment last
semester.
About our Kantronics KPC-9612: The SAFC informed
me on Monday that the Kantronics has discontinued the KPC-9612
and AES no longer carries it. AES recommended purchasing the
"KPC-9612 Plus", which is supposedly the closest thing
to the KPC-9612 (slightly better, actually), and costs $60 more
than the KPC-9612. We decided to go ahead and spend the extra $60
and buy the KPC-9612 Plus.
Next meeting February 5, 1997
See you at the next meeting...
