[Craig Szczublewski]

Hi folks,

The meeting notes from last months meeting slipped through the cracks for
me, I am getting those out now.  Thanks to KB8ELH for taking this notes
while I was out of town.  July's meeting notes will follow shortly:

The June meeting of the Fulton County Amateur Radio Club was called to
order at 7:35PM by Bryan Patterson (KB8ELG) at the Delta Church of Christ
in Delta, with 11 members and 3 guests present.  The pledge was recited by
all.

It was reported that Allen Nash (KC8UQU) is doing well after a hip
replacement, and Jim McBride (K8JPD) is doing well after his second knee
replacement. It is also reported that Bob Switzer (WA8BHP) became a silent
key.

The finance report was read.  Bob Rosebrock (WB8ZOI) made a motion to
accept it, which was seconded by Dave Claar (W8TUX), all approved.

Bills were presented for Field Day and Hamfest expenses.  Cass Telles
(KD8MNG) made a motion to pay the bills which was seconded by Dave Claar
(W8TUX).

The hamfest saw a revenue of $430, and favorable reports were received from
vendors and attendees.

Field Day Setup if planned for the Friday before the event, Craig
Szczublewski (KD8KBU) will be able to load the logging software for anyone
who wants to bring a laptop out. Dinner is planned for Saturday evening at
6:00pm.  Bryan Patterson (KB8ELG) will deliver the portable mast the Friday
before.  John Myers (KD8ZKE) will make sure the generator is delivered as
well.

Bryan (KB8ELG), David (W8TUX), Craig (KD8KBU), and Jim (K8JPD) met with the
Fulton County EMA director to discuss a VHF/UHF station setup in the EMA
building.  Bryan and Craig will produce a list of materials needed to put
an amateur station in place.  Bryan was also given information on reserving
a room in the Robert Fulton building for future meetings.  We were informed
the event coordinator for the Museum is working on a WWII and Amateur Radio
exhibit.  We would participate in the opening event with HF radios, giving
the public a chance to get on the air.

Good of Amateur Radio:
On the second and fourth Sunday is a net run by Kim Allen (KE8ITJ) at 8pm
on the K8BXQ repeater.
Ben Murray (KD8JBS) picked up the severe weather net on June 1st.
Ron (KB8CBY) reported that he can hear the repeater good off his antenna on
the camper in Coldwater, MI.

A motion to close the meeting was made by Bob Rosebrock (WB8ZOI) and
seconded by Cass Telles (KD8MNG) at 8:15pm.
