CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO BOARD MINUTES

The Carroll County Amateur Radio Club Board of Directors met at the Fire 
Training Center on August 20th, 2003.

President Beckman called the meeting to order at 1935 local time, 
members present were, Steve N3SB, Keith KB3HHK, Bryan AA3XZ, Doug N5LBJ, 
Frank K3MTT, John AK3Z and Joe N3YIM.

President Beckman set the agenda and made the following remarks; 
comments to the comments on Broadband to Power Line (BPL) are due 
tonight before 12 midnight; the club will be helping at the FARFEST on 
Saturday the 6th of September by selling tailgate tickets from 6AM until 
2PM; there will be a Mason Dixon Hamfest planning meeting in September; 
the tower rotator plate is being made and can be installed perhaps this 
week; the remote site update, Larry WX3F, is working with the county to 
gain access to the Sykesville site and to work at the Gorsuch Road site; 
we need the serial numbers of the equipment at the Gorsuch site for 
insurance purposes; he ask John AK3Z to draft a letter to the county 
thanking them for use of Freedom Park during Field Day and asking 
permission to use it for Field Day 2004; at the September meeting Pat 
N8PK will make a presentation on WI-FI, this needs to be confirmed; the 
Civil War bike ride is on September 6th and help is still needed; the 
Wine Fest bike ride is on September 20th and help is still needed; there 
are corrections to be made to the club roster, Frank K3MTT will make the 
corrections in coordination with Bill N3WM; the board recommends the 
formation of the CCARC Youth Organization, Doug N5LBJ volunteered to 
chair the organization if approved; all committees within the club need 
to meet as a committee and discuss business and functions and become 
more productive, this will relieve the Board of a lot of work now done 
by the Board for the committees.

The motion for reimbursement of Now Your Talking for new hams was 
discussed, the Board recommends that the motion not be approved.

The CCARC Youth Organization

Purpose: To provide a monthly program targeted towards the youth of the 
Carroll County Amateur Radio Club for their enjoyment and education 
about the amateur radio hobby.

Meetings: Monthly (to be determined), preferably on weekends, however, 
this will be a decision of the parents who�s children will be attending.

Costs to the Students: This will help offset the costs of kits and 
equipment.

a. A donation of $1.00 per session if they do not attend the technical 
workshop.

b. A donation of $10.00 per session if they attend the technical workshop.

A copy of the proposal and the agenda are posted in the club radio room.

The Board recommends that the club hold Tailgate Fest 5 the second 
Sunday in August 2004 at the Carroll County Ag Center.

The Board recommends that the Digital Committee take responsibility for 
the up keep and maintenance of the club BBS.

Steve N3SB suggested to Frank K3MTT that we need to code our web site to 
prevent E-Mail harvesting of addresses and he agreed.

There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 2213 local time.
