Very true, not to mention there will be no utility bills, we will be able
to lower our dues cost per year and get back to growing the club back up
again. Mike C.

Based on Marv?s excellent analysis of the proposed repeater location, I
also agree that this is an excellent way to proceed.

?Sounds like a really good deal. Should provide great coverage at almost no maintenance cost once we get up and running. The initial cost of $10,000 sounds good only if people start using the repeater again, as most repeaters are silent around this area these days? Tired of keying up a machine with no reply! Was tempted to sell off my 2mtr rigs until hearing of this good news. It's a great opportunity to be "king of the Mountain" once more moving forward to a new location such as this one. My vote is "YES"Sincerely, Paul Pellinger - KC2CLX?

When the club was talking about a repeater site, I suggested that someone?should look into the site in question. I don't knw if that took place or not.However the site is the one I mentioned. It is not in Warren it is in theMartinsville section of Bridgewater. I was at that site about 10 or 12 years?ago and was very impressed there. The site is owned by a member of?the VFW group that I am a member of (VFW 6588). The owner made the site?look like a George Washington lookout camp ground. There is a telescopethere and some artificial? cannons. In the northern section is the TOWER. ?I AM TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF THIS SITE AND EVERYONE SHOULD?
BE IN FAVOR OF ITS APPROVAL. ??See you at the next meeting...?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? John....WA2F?

Message-ID: <009401d56433$87e5ed40$97b1c7c0$@net>

Members,

 

This is an urgent request.

 

We have, as you must already know, obtained the permission to locate our 2
meter repeater on one of the best sites in Central New Jersey.

 

I have already given my opinion and we have already solicited comments and
concerns.  We have satisfied all of the concerns and I have seen
overwhelming (unanimous) positive responses.

 

But now in order to proceed we MUST submit a letter of intent to the
party(ies) responsible for the process.

 

The cost to the club to make this move will be under $10K. but we need a
vote according to our By Laws.

 

We can't wait longer because of the sensitivity of this move..if we delay it
will be assumed we are insincere with this project.

 

I propose that, since we have had a representative number of positive
messages...unless there are a majority of NAY votes with this message, the
President of the club authorize the technical committee to proceed and a
letter then

Be composed for submittal.  

 

I propose for this purpose that the President name the technical committee
chairman and that the chairman submit the necessary letter.

 

Again, we can not delay to the next meeting and then a further delay to
submit a letter.

 

The letter needs only to confirm that RVRC desires and accepts the
requirements of the tower operator(s) to locate one two-meter repeater of
commercial manufacture and with a maximum of 50 Watts at this tower location
(Warren).

 

Any NAY votes should be posted now so that RVRC can proceed immediately.

 

We have been waiting a long time to have an opportunity like this one. We
will again have a towering 2 meter repeater signal and service area.

 

I have been working with someone on another great location for our 442.250
repeater inasmuch as we will NOT be able to locate it on this same site with
the 2 meter repeater. (conflict of spectrum use)

 

Sincerely,

 

Marv, K2VHW

P.S. Should anyone have missed the particulars on this project, please send
a message on this service and we can thereby keep all discussion open to
everyone.

Members,

 

I hate to be a pest but on this one I will be.  If we don't move on
this...it'll be lost for heaven knows how much longer. Each day that goes
buy puts us at risk of losing the frequency pair for the repeater.

 

I am most interested in NAY comments and reasons. Absent any NAY comments it
will be assumed that the project is acceptable to the membership.

Dear Raritan Valley Radio Club:

It is an enviable position to have money in the bank and an active Amateur
membership that only waits to be back on-the-air.  Although I have not been
following the pros and cons of the planning for the new repeater and
repeater site very closely, it seems to me as if a site in Warren Township
would be central to the RVRC's goals.  The only comment I heard at the last
meeting that caused me some concern was our clear and legal access to the
site. If a letter of intent needs to be drafted to the proper police
agencies or these agencies need to issue a valid "day pass" then this
discussion should be underway as well.

Otherwise it seems like a good moment to for the RVRC to regain its once
prestigious status within the State of New Jersey in a secure location high
atop the Watchung Mountains.

My vote is "Yea."

Sincerely,

Evan, KC2JQC

Gerry,?
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
We have been here for 15 months and find it to be a much more gentile place than NJ. That's why it is called, lower, slower Delaware.
Also, the savings on taxes is like them paying us to live here. Our 2018 taxes were $1007.38 and our 2019 taxes are $997.27. A far cry from over $14000 in Rahway.
Finding some things like good pizza and bagels is a bit challenging but more business are opening here due to the influx of people.
Hope your doing well in AZ.
Marty

Subject: [RVRC] IMPORTANT; SNUFFY'S MAY CLOSE
Message-ID: <002d01d56f58$d6c2bf30$84483d90$@net>

MEMBERS,

 

I know the Christmas holiday club party has been set for SNUFFY'S in Scotch
Plains. I find that SNUFFY'S may close due to having leased the property to
LIDL, a grocery chain, to build a grocery store on that property.

 

Check this out;

 

https://www.tapinto.net/towns/south-plainfield/sections/other-nj-news/articl
es/snuffy-s-disputes-it-is-closing-despite-lease-agreement-with-lidl-shared-
with-scotch-plains-officials-2734e735-dfc9-499e-8aa4-d0af315ff70b

 

While SNUFFY'S has disputed this closing, the town has received proper
notification that the property has been leased to LIDL and they intend to
build a grocery store/supermarket on that property.

 

This should be followed-up.

 

73

Subject: [RVRC] More on SNUFFY'S PANTAGIS
Message-ID: <005601d56fcd$a72f9570$f58ec050$@net>

MEMBERS,

Here is more from TAP press about SNUFFY'S PANTAGIS .....

 

The property was found to have met the criteria as an area in need of
redevelopment by the Scotch Plains Planning Board and was designated as an
Area in Need of Redevelopment by the Township Council on December 11, 2018.
Following the designation, there is a 45-day appeal period. No one from
Pantagis appealed the designation.

The Scotch Plains Downtown Redevelopment Committee has been in negotiations
with Lidl since December 2018, and held two public meetings on August 14,
2019 and September 11, 2019 specifically to discuss the plan and again no
one from Pantagis attended or spoke at these meetings to challenge what we
were working on.

The Township Council introduced the redevelopment plan for Lidl on September
17, 2019. We expect to approve it for final adoption in October. Lidl will
then have to receive final site plan approval from the Planning Board after
which Lidl will determine the construction timetable and therefore when the
restaurant will be closing.

If Snuffy's Pantagis Enterprises, Inc no longer has a land lease agreement
with Lidl I'm sure we would have officially been made aware of it through
official communication by the President of the corporation or the attorney
for Lidl, not some social media post. We will continue to deal with the
facts."

Representatives from Snuffy's Pantagis Renaissance have not responded to
TAPintoSPF's request for an interview.

 

It may be time to consider a new venue for our CHRISTMAS DINNER/PARTY???

 

73,

Marv
