[Steve Beckman]

Carroll County Amateur Radio Club meeting - 14 March 2016

Andy started the informal meeting at 7:36 PM with introductions around 
the room.

ARES/RACES - The RACES drill was held last Tuesday night. We are working 
to standardize the RACES SITREP form for use in MD. The Health 
Department has gotten funds to purchase case upgrades for two more radio 
kits. BG&E grant funds have been received by the CCARC to install 
antennas in the county schools that the Health Department has deployed 
the radio kits. Antennas will be ordered in the next couple of days. 
WebEOC training was held for six CARET members last month.

Repeater Committee - Work on the 450 repeater to link it into the 2m and 
6m systems has not yet occurred. After that work is completed, efforts 
will focus on the Sykesville system.

Andy reviewed his notes from last month's Board meeting. We are trying 
to find a checking account that does not charge a monthly fee. We talked 
about a couple options for getting HF capability at the EOC - while not 
erecting a permanent antenna.

Raspberry Pi Net - Tuesday night 8:00 PM 145.410 MHz.

Steve N3SB showed a Kenwood TK-860HG commercial radio, going through its 
features, and how they can be used for Amateur Radio.

Andy WO3L answered questions about FLDIGI setup and operation.

73; Steve, N3SB
