[K3PZN-List] MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 12TH MEETING

[Philip Karras]

Joe, aren't all board members also CCARC members? If
they are all CCARC members aren't they all also part
of the K3PZN reflector list? And last, if they are all
members of the K3PZN reflector list isn't sending the
minutes via both the board list and the K3PZN
reflector list redundant?

I guess none of them have mentioned that they are
receiving two copies of it or you would have stopped
doing it.
