Business: 1.
Parking lot duty, March is the next month for drawing participating
groups. They use 2 month intervals for drawings. 2.
We need to have a way to remotely turn off our repeaters when there is a
jammer messing with them.
Bill in Shell Knob can build a controller. 3.
We have 4 backup batteries for protection our repeaters when commercial
electricity is interrupted but they are not yet installed and we need a
good trickle charger to complete the installation. Also we need an
“isolator” for the repeaters but we need a cost figure. 4.
Along with item 3 issues we need a new rack to replace the current
(rusting) rack. Drew has a rack
we can use. Charger and control panels will cost $200. plus or minus.
Next meeting of our club will be Saturday February 11, 2017 at same
location. Please bring
refreshments to share.
