24, 2002
President Carl Hickman, K5OWC, called the meeting to order at 1930 hrs. Dan, W5AOV, read the minuets of the March meeting. Wade, W5TEN, made a motion to approve as read and was seconded by Linda Pleasant, N5LXG. Motion carried. The treasurer’s report was given and the current balance is $215.08.
Old Business:
A motion was made by Linda P. to pay Dan for the machine
work that had to be done on the tower installation at the Courthouse. A base plate to tower adaptor needed to be
made. Wade seconded it and the vote
carried. The cost of machine work was
$40.
The coax is in to mount the two antennas (VHF/UHF and VHF)
on the tower. Carl suggested that we
mount the 2Meter antenna down and the dual band up. They will be on the side of the tower below the existing VHF and
UHF antennas for the county radios.
The command vehicle radio work will start Friday at 4PM with
antenna installation (five antennas, 3 UHF and 2 VHF). On Sunday about 4PM we will start
installation of the radios inside the van.
New Business:
The election committee, Carl H., presented the 2002/2003
slate of candidates. They are as
follows: Wade, W5TEN, for president;
Dan, W5AOV, for V.P. and Linda P., N5LXG, for secretary/treasurer. Other nominations were called for but none
given. Wade made a motion to close the
nominations and Carl P, W5MPX, seconded it.
The vote was unanimous. The
