[OKDXA] Meeting Minutes OKDXA Banquet

[Kim Elmore]

Well, we didn't quite make the cost of the banquet, but we got a fair 
bit better turnout. We had slightly increased costs over last year, but 
nothing out of line and all reasonable. What records do we have going 
back to prior banquets? how have things changed? I'm curious about any 
11 year cycles... ;)

Notices were sent to the club membership, all the Oklahoma ARRL 
affiliated clubs, the ARRL-OK mail list, and the OKTRADERS mail list. 
I'm open to suggestions about what we can do differently!

73 & see you in the pileups,

Kim N5OP
