PDF copy for these minutes

 

  

    Meeting was brought to order by Walt, WA6LII, at 2:03pm (14:03 hours) at First Christian Church,
763 Passion Play Rd.
  Eureka Springs, AR.

    Minutes from the July meeting, someone moved to accept as read on-line, and someone else seconded, “I”s were unanimous, minutes were accepted after noting a typo by Gary. It was corrected.

    Treasurer’s report was given by Susan Wall, old balance was $1,006.27. After utilities were paid and dues collected the new balance is $986.47.  Jim moved to accept as read, Rudy seconded, “I”s were unanimous, treasurer report was accepted.

    Old Business:  Walt – (1) The LMR coax was purchased and is now in the repeater building awaiting someone to climb the tower and install it on the 440 repeater antenna and raising it farther up the tower. The higher the antenna and the less loss with the new coax is hoped to help more members to access it. (2) While delivering the coax to the site he noted the charger stopped functioning so he bypassed it until it gets replaced.

    Anna was not attending the meeting but it was determined that we could use the Holiday Community Church at 188 State Line Road if the First Christian Church was available for a monthly meeting if our regular meeting church was not available.  They do not have a coffee pot or other eating utensils so be prepared to bring enough for the group attending.

    New Business:  John told us about the ”WSJT-X” FR8 digital mode computer controlled quick contacts for contesting. https://www.wsjtx.net/home/ft8-mode.html  will take you to their web page.
