CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BOARD Minutes

The Carroll County Amateur Radio Club Board of Directors met on February 
18th at the QTH of Frank K3MTT, we want to thank Frank and Sandy N3MAK 
for hosting the meeting.

President Beckman called the meeting to order at 2015, the following 
members and guest were present, Steve N3SB, John AK3Z, Bill N3WM, Joe 
N3YIM, Doug N5LBJ, Frank K3MTT and guest Chuck N3TOT.

Steve N3SB read a letter from the Baltimore Bike Club thanking the club 
for their support of the Century Bike Ride, John AK3Z suggested that the 
club needs to back off of the planning and most of the work for the 
ride; the Frederick club needs to step up and take over some of these 
task, as most of the ride is in Frederick County.

President Beckman had the following announcements; an audit of the club 
financial books will be conducted on Wednesday the 25th at the QTH of 
Bill N3WM at 7PM; there will be a meeting with Buddy KD3UZ Carroll 
County Communications Director and his staff at Harry�s Main Street on 
February 26th at 6:30PM, van restoration and access to the new EOC when 
constructed will be discussed; the van committee will have complete 
control over the restoration, however, the Board of Directors will 
continue to head up the fund raising activities, the first draft of the 
request for funding was read and discussed with some modifications and 
recommended changes.

Goals for restoration and sustaining costs of the communications van 
were discussed and will be established after one year of fund raising 
has been completed.

The addition of a Life membership was discussed, in order as not to 
diminish the life membership presently established within the club a 
suggestion to call the paid life membership a �paid� life membership and 
the awarded life membership an �honorary� life membership in order to 
distinguish between the two. The establishment of such a membership will 
be cause for a by-law change, the by-laws are in need of some revision 
so perhaps both could be accomplished at the same time.

The 285 repeater issue was discussed to the degree that something may 
happen beyond Al AK3Z�s control that will preclude the turnover of the 
repeater to the club; this is understood and will have no effect on the 
operations of the clubs repeater system.

Meeting adjourned at 2330.

Submitted;

Joe Ebaugh, N3YIM

Secretary
