[K3pzn-board] Meeting for March

[Curt Milton]

I have not heard any rumblings on topic - and I am thinking we need more than 
the vote on upgrading the repeater to make it worth 'driving across Carroll 
County' for.  


Perhaps we don't have a topic lined up ?  And time is scarce.  

One idea - message handling.  Who knows how many of us can handle formal traffic 
without stumbling .... Perhaps see if Joe Tracy can give a short presentation, 
followed by a practice session (Joe can 'send' a message to the audience, and we 
could ask for a volunteer or two to prepare a message prior to the meeting).  


Second idea - Pete seems to always into something technical ?  

It's never a dreadful idea to have 2 short presentations instead of one long 
one.  It is important to maintain 'editorial balance' among the diverse 
interests we have.  


My interest is keeping our club interesting -- as remember our members could 
always be 'tempted' by those neighboring clubs if we don't keep ours lively.  (I 
much prefer driving to our FTC vs Owings Mills or Columbia - that is easy!)

Wow the sun is getting very active (finally).  But I don't know of any solar 
experts in the club who would take a stab at this topic.  We should ask Jim 
about inviting a PVRC related presenter some day, on something 
interesting.  Jack's talk on northern lights was interesting - I am forgetful on 
any other radio-related topics he previously mentioned.
