From n9jfcountyhunter at gmail.com Wed Jun 3 19:38:30 2020 From: n9jfcountyhunter at gmail.com (n9jfcountyhunter at gmail.com) Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 18:38:30 -0500 Subject: [WIARC] TONIGHT'S MEETING Message-ID: <000a01d63a00$16e55e70$44b01b50$@gmail.com> IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE JUNE 3 WIARC CONFERENCE CALL MEETING The "test" conference call this evening seemed to proceed without major issues. Therefore, we will attempt to use the same system next Wednesday, June 3, for the regular WIARC monthly meeting. It is important that we have at least 10 members, including an elected club officer, present on the call for this meeting to conduct business! Please make every attempt to call in and be included in the attendance count. Please call as close to 7 pm as possible so the meeting can proceed on time. If more than one of you are at the same location, be sure we know that for the quorum determination. Also, please find out how to mute your phone audio if possible, and keep it muted unless you wish to make a comment or ask a question or vote on an issue. This will avoid having feedback degrade the quality of the call for all of the participants. We will try to give plenty of time to "mute and unmute" so that no one gets left out of the discussions. Voting will be by NG9R (or whoever is presiding) calling specifically for a "yes" or "no" vote from all, individually, who have called in. The call-in information will be the same as tonight's: Call-in number: 425/436-6304. Passcode: 834598# At this point, you should be included in the conversation. Early on, I will turn the meeting over to NG9R (who has been asked to conduct the meeting unless K9FHX is present). He will continue to take "check-ins" and will conduct the business meeting. Danny will post a proposed agenda here within the next couple of days. Included will be a Treasurer's Report, a quick item regarding Field Day (which will NOT be held in conjunction with HARC as planned but will consist of individual stations as they can be assembled), discussion of the August 8 hamfest and acting upon at least two applications for membership. There may be brief items of information from the Repeater Board. Danny will attempt to hold the total meeting time to 15-30 minutes. We realize that some of you may not have unlimited long distance. If calling in (which WILL BE A TOLL CALL) constitutes a problem for you, please notify n9jf at arrl.net and send me a phone number at which you can be reached. We will try to find a way to include you in the call by calling you. Please let me know if you have questions or comments. 73, Jim N9JF From dpease at adams.net Wed Jun 3 20:37:58 2020 From: dpease at adams.net (Danny Pease) Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 19:37:58 -0500 Subject: [WIARC] conference call meeting Message-ID: <001701d63a08$65968140$30c383c0$@adams.net> Thanks to those that called in for our club meeting conference call this evening, we were able to conduct the time sensitive business issues this evening. It had been a while since our last business meeting and a few things needed to be handled. A special thanks to Jim, N9JF, for setting this up for us. Hopefully we will be able to meet face to face in the near future. Among other decisions, it was decided the club's hamfest will be cancelled for this year and looked at again for next year BUT, we may have a free tailgate flea market later this year. We also voted in 3 new club members this evening, Bad Florea, KD9OOK, Thomas Ague, KB9LBE and Rodney Walton, K0AGN. Be sure to welcome them when you hear them on the air or if you meet them in person. Full minutes of the business meeting will be published in the next newsletter.

Most ARRL contest certificates have been mailed in the past and then only to those that finish pretty high up the ladder at the section or national level. Many other certificates are now available to us smaller pistols and can be found online at: https://contests.arrl.org/certificates.php When I looked, I was surprised at how may contests I had been active in in years past. There were even a couple of certificates for DX contests from the club station as W9OAB that I printed out and will bring to the club station later.

It can be seen at: http://www.w9awe.org/feedline.pdf It appears Illinois will be reaching Level 4 of the COVID recovery in Illinois, which will relax some of the public constraints. Many restaurants will be allowed some indoor seating but social distancing still needs to be maintained. At this time a decision has not been made about the July club meeting. We may have another conference call, we may have a meeting at the Red Cross (if they allow us into the building), we may meet somewhere else, we may postpone the meeting until later. Whatever is decided, it will be announce on the club email reflector as soon as the decision is made.

I was going to post this reminder anyhow, so here goes: (If you have questions, please e-mail n9jf at arrl.net or k0ca at arrl.net) HARC/WIARC Field Day 2020 As you all know, there will be no mass gathering of the two clubs for Field Day 2020 on the last rainy weekend in June (June 27 and 28). Field Day will, however, "occur". The event is still scheduled. See http://www.arrl.org/field-day#rules . Field Day is not () a contest. However, it has rules, points and bonuses. If nobody shows up, nobody has fun. Therefore, we want to help people "show up"! Pursuant to that objective, K0CA and I have put our (virtual, socially-distanced) heads together and come up with the following suggestions and incentives: 1) Get on the air during the 27-hour Field Day period. Pick your favorite bands and modes and operating styles. Make contacts. Keep a log of some sort. There are many logging programs that do a good job of helping you document your FD activity, but all you have to turn in is a "dupe sheet" showing a list of the stations worked on each band and mode. The Rules page has all sorts of resources including a logging form. 2) Create an entry form and submit it to ARRL http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2020/4_01-2020%20Now%20what.pdf . If you have questions or issues doing this, contact n9jf at arrl.net or k0ca at arrl.net , and we will help you. 3) You will enter one of the designated categories listed in the Rules. You will also find a place to list your club. If you belong to both HARC and WIARC, you will need to choose one. Be sure to list the club name as follows: either HANNIBAL MO ARC or WESTERN IL ARC. If the name doesn't match one of these, it won't count! (But it's not a contest..) 4) We will recognize the highest score from either club in the final published results in each of the designated categories with a certificate, and the club with the highest aggregate score will receive bragging rights (and probably nothing else, though we are open to suggestions..)

The consensus I have gathered is that there will be NO if-person meeting on July 1. We will meet via conference call as we did in June. I'm not sure who will conduct the meeting. If K9FHX calls in he will of course. If not, I believe NR9Q is prepared to do so. If anyone has proposed agenda items prior to the meeting, it would be a good idea to send them to both Dave and Chris. The call in is as last month: (425) 436-6304 834598# You should be joined to the meeting at that point. I will have to be there to start the meeting (I think....). Then will turn it over to Dave or Chris to keep track of who checks in. EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY BE THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES, PLEASE CALL IN SO WE HAVE A QUORUM!! IMPORTANT: If this is a toll call for you, please let me know directly at n9jf at arrl.net and I think I can call you and add you to the call without it costing you anything. I have to know about this ahead of time! If for some reason you try to call the conference and cannot get in, call me at 217/617-9881 and I'll see if I can add you. 73, Jim N9JF
