CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BOARD OF DIRECTORS MINUTES

The Board of Directors of the Carroll County Amateur Radio Club met on 
June 18th 2003 at the Fire Training Center. President Beckman called the 
meeting to order at 1940.

Members present were, Keith KB3HHK, Doug N5LBJ, John AK3Z, Bill N3WM, 
Joe N3YIM, Steve N3SB and guest Mike N3VOP.

Insurance for the Station equipment, the repeaters and remote site were 
discussed, the actual cost to replace the equipment, not the current 
value, should be the price quoted to the ARRL, your premium is based on 
the dollar figure you submit, and we need to include antennas as well. 
There needs to be a list by serial number of the equipment we want to 
insure, Bill N3WM has a copy supplied by the Station Committee last 
fall. It is hoped that we can acquire the necessary insurance by Field Day.

Tailgate Fest 4 � Steve N3SB has been contacted by a representative of 
FAR who would like to have space and a table for equipment sales from SK 
estates; Mike N3VOP who is chairman this year, asked what needed to be 
completed yet, the only outstanding item is the purchase of a pair of 
Family Radio Service radios as a prize; there will be food this year 
provided by Wilhelm�s and that contract has been signed some time ago; 
Joe N3YIM volunteered to be the go between for Mike for whatever he needs.

There was considerable discussion on the completion of the Sykesville 
remote site.

Bill N3WM suggested that the club appoint a committee to coordinate with 
the County for homeland security, there seems to be a need for emergency 
communications in the event of an emergency, and we surely can handle 
that, but we must be accepted by the County and included in their planning.

Mike N3VOP suggested that the station committee look into the purchase 
laptop computers instead of the larger ones that we now have, they are 
bulky and require a monitor, and it seems that the laptops would be far 
better especially in the field.

The Board was given a tour of the barn�s improvements; all agreed that 
it is really great.

Their being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2105.

SUBMITTED;

Joe Ebaugh, N3YIM
Secretary
