CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BOARD Minutes

  The Carroll County Amateur Radio Club Board of Directors met at the 
QTH of N3YIM on Wednesday October the 23rd 2002.

  President Beckman called the meeting to order at 1930.

  Members present were, Steve N3SB, John AK3Z, Jerry N3GQK, Bart N0NYY, 
Frank K3MTT, Jim K4CGY and Joe N3YIM.

  A review of the working items for the Hamfest revealed that there is a 
need for early workers, security, and parking.  In going over the 
Hamfest task list, many of the tasks have volunteers assigned, but 
several remain open and will need to be filled by Hamfest day.  Radio 
frequencies were discussed for the various activities, Talk-in, Security 
and General communications on the grounds.  There were a few problems 
with the AG center that need attention, 1) the ramp from the grounds to 
the buildings cannot be used due to seeding by the contractor, 2) the 
public address system only worked on the inside, the outside has been 
disconnected, although these are not good news they will not stop us 
from having a successful Hamfest. It should be noted that Mr. Barry 
Lippy of the AG Center has been very helpful and understanding while 
construction at the Center continues.

  The Board voted and passed a motion by Frank K3MTT, that Bill Mellema, 
N3WM be made a Life Member of the club, this motion will be voted upon 
at the November club meeting.

  The Board had a discussion about the possibility of implementing a Ham 
of the Year award; there will be further discussion after the Hamfest.

  Frank K3MTT, reported that he has archived some of the Clubs important 
papers, but needs to go through the club filing cabinet to obtain those 
original documents which he thinks still need to be archived, when that 
task is completed the originals will be filed in the club safe deposit box.

  John AK3Z, discussed the suggestions made by Doug N5LBJ for 
improvements to the club station, he said several of the suggestions 
were to be implemented to make the station user friendly for all our 
members, the station committee will continue to consider his 
recommendations.

  There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 2130.
