Dave, SD said that the new repeater is on back order.  He proposed that we
purchase a second repeater for the 70 cm band, which we could use for IRLP,
Echolink, Allstar, etc.  He will put a memo on the E-mail list so that we
can vote on it on-line before the end of the month, because the repeaters
will go up to $1,500 at the beginning of April.

vote on the proposed amendment to the bylaw off until next month.
