  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 (13th )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 
reason is that the Board has recognized the need to help young people 
get interested in the hobby and is considering a program designed to 
acquaint students with HAM radio using a hand on program approach.

Doug N5LBJ is drafting a proposal that will be presented to the 
membership at a future CCARC meeting.)

 

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.

 

  (Frank K3MTT suggested to Steve N3SB) 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.

 

Submitted;

 

 

Joe Ebaugh, N3YIM
