Presentation on tower. On the 16th a work was held party at the Ag Center. It was a success. It completed the antenna raising. HF, dual band and APRS. The club is on the air! Not too early to think about Field Day.
Frank: APRS up and running. Solar power, Some trial and error, but so far so good. 30 mile radius. You must register to receive messages.
Corporate status us up to date.
Pete gave update to order shirts, caps, mugs with the club logo. Pete solicited ideas about the shirt, we don’t deal with anything, it just goes through website. We get some of the proceeds though the site.
The standard logo was presented, but we could have a new logo if we choose to. May meeting deadline to review.
Frank leading the repeater group to get the repeater (Fusion). We need to know the bandwidth and it may be quite inexpensive.
Steve also mentioned the radio room, we need to talk about the future of the room to promote amateur radio.
Frank talked about narrow band repeater and Joe talked about the loss of 3 db of range (technical stuff).
