[K3pzn-board] Meeting for March

Wed Mar 2 17:46:30 EST 2011

Hi Curt,

Thanks for your quick reply.  

1. I too am concerned about the number of 
meetings I missed recently.  My business 
travel schedule is picking up again, in 
fact, I may be out of town again the whole 
week of March 14.  Anyhow, . . . 

2. I have a prospective new FD site on a 
partially wooded hilltop near Union Bridge 
near the Carroll County-Frederick County 
line.  The property is owned by a friend 
who operates a Christmas Tree farm in the 
vicinity.  Tempting arrangements!  

If the club is interested in going out 
to the site to "audition" it then we 
should do so soon, even if it is for a 
Field Day beyond this year.  

3. Hope to see you all again soon.  

Cheers,

Pat

Now that I look at the calendar ... next club meeting is March 14 (second 
Monday) which puts the board meeting at March 23 (Wednesday week following the 
club meeting -- wow that is late in the month ...).  

Usually all but the December board meetings are at FTC.  

Now that I got this figured out, I am voting myself off the board, as I have 
missed too many board meetings.  

Now that Spring is coming, the incoming board should think about FD.  (I guess 
it's cabin fever - but I would like to do FD someday from on top of South 
Mountain, QRP CW, but I know I am 'different.')

Hi!  

What is the exact date and time for the 
CCARC board meeting this month?  

7:30 PM?  At a restaurant or the usual 
training center location?  

Our email reflector subheader is outdated.  

Thanks,

Pat

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.
