Old business:
Rudy and Drew will take the batteries we
will be using for backup emergency power to the repeater
next week.
They will do more cleaning even though the
room was cleaned last time Jim and his crew were there.
John Wall’s report on controller
acquisitions, we can run our 440 repeater on A/C due to its lack of use.
The power controller will be used to switch from grid power to battery
power when grid power quits, then back to grid power when it resumes.
The batteries will be trickle charging all the time and should last for
1 week.
The “Enrush” controller cost is $179.00.
A vote was taken to go ahead and purchase,
Jim McCarthy moved to accept, John Wall seconded and the “Is” were
unanimous.
Motion carried.
Walt Phelps asked if the controller could
turn off the receiver and other like items remotely.
Rudy answered we will set up the system
that Jack Green had installed which will give us the remote ability to
at least shut down the repeater remotely with DTMF tone sent by a club
member.
Rudy also mentioned the club will if
requested by any contributing member to the solar panel project that our
club will repay that donation.
