     Exact problem is unknown right now but current thinking is that
     the antenna took a near lightning hit.  SWR shows 3.5:1 to 4.0:1
     SWR and power is cut back approximately 50%.  Into dummy SWR is
     1.5:1 and full 38W out. 

     Climber is expected this week. He will hang DB224e antenna from Noble
     Lake.  Ground crewman wants $100 but Bruce, climber, wants
     nothing.  I would like to thank Bruce as we did before with a
     gift certificate and a gift certificate to his favorite
     restaurant.

* Constitution Changes 

     =================================================================
     Change constitution to allow president set date, time, and
     location of next meeting. 

     Article IV Section 2 currently reads

     Regular meetings shall be held on the 3rd Tuesday night of each
     calendar month at such place as the president shall order.

     Modify Article IV Section 2 to read as follows:

     Regular meetings shall be held on the 3rd Tuesday night of each
     calendar month at such place as the president shall order.

     As amended September 2004 -
     Regular meetings shall be held on a date, at a time, at a
     location as the president shall order.
   
     Reason: The current constitution states that regular club
     meetings will be the third Tuesday of the month.  Special
     meetings can be called as necessary 

     =================================================================
     Propose that the election of officers part of the Constitution
     be made clearer. 

     Article II Section 2 presently reads

     The officers of the club shall be elected for a term of one year
     by simple majority of the voting members present at the first
     meeting in September.

     Modify Article II Section 2 to read as follows:

     The officers of the club shall be elected for a term of one year
     by simple majority of the voting members present at the first
     meeting in September.

     As amended in September 2004 -
     The officers of the club shall be elected for a term of one year
     by simple majority of the voting members present at the first
     meeting in August. Detailed instructions for electing officer are
     in Article VIII.

     Reason: Upon reading the constitution, it wasn't clear when the
     new rules electing officers for became effective. 

     =================================================================
     These changes will be documented and mailed to paid membership.
     Failure to return document the will be a vote to change constitution as
     proposed. Voting on these changes will occur at the September meeting

* Any other new business

* Motion to Adjourn

* Adjourn
