CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BOARD MINUTES

 

  After being delayed a week due to bad weather, the CCARC board met on 
January 26th 2005 at the Fire Training Center, members present were John 
AK3Z; Jerry N3GQK; Doug N5LBJ; Steve N3SB; Joe N3YIM; Chuck N3TOT and 
Frank K3MTT, meeting was called to order at 1935 local.

 

  President Beckman N3SB made the following announcements, he had a 
question "was the Windows operating system on the club computers a gift 
or de we need a license", Doug N5LBJ will procure a 'not for profit' 
software from Microsoft; our proposal for funding submitted to MEMA has 
been returned to the County for their review, Chuck N3TOT will contact 
the County and Rep Bartlett's office to see if we need to do anything 
else to move the project along; also Steve N3SB will contact the 
Bartlett office for assistance on the proposal; the County money that 
would have been for the club has been spent for this Fiscal Year; Steve 
will brief the club at the February meeting on the possibility that no 
election will be held, and what will happen to the club if there are no 
officers elected, his hope is that the board will take care of the 
required issues.

 

  Chuck N3TOT gave his report on his meeting with County officials, the 
County is very interested in the shelter kits as we proposed in our 
request for funding, and the communications between the EOC, the 
Shelters and the Fire Training Center; there is no interest in the van 
project at this time.

 

  Doug N5LBJ - the loaner radio given to Matt KB3LOX for his use is due 
to be returned.

 

  John AK3Z - The antique radio night will be moved to another month and 
Frank will assist with the project; replacement of the club station 
radios was discussed and tabled until a later time; some of the antennas 
still need to be repaired.

 

  Chuck N3TOT - met with Mike Valentine, County Communications Technical 
Assistant, who states that the additional tower on site is available if 
the club wants to use it, however, we can not move or disturb the 
microwave dish.  The board would like permission to use the other tower 
in writing from the County.

 

  Joe N3YIM - we need to get our Tailgate Fest and Hamfest flyer ready 
for the printer, Steve will work on that and get a copy for the printers.

 

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2150 local.

 

Submitted;

 

Joe Ebaugh, N3YIM
