[WIARC] club stuff

Howdy!
We had a great turnout for last night's meeting!  There were 18 members and
guests at the Moorman Park shelter plus three others who called in on the
conference line.  It was nice to have our ARRL Illinois Section  Manager,
W9RY, in attendance.  I think many enjoyed the brief "swapfest" that
occurred prior to the meeting.  A fair number of treasures were
exchanged....mostly from one shack pile to another...but that's the way it
goes.

Going forward:
1) There is no indication that the American Red Cross building will be
available for the November meeting.  It's unlikely that the weather will be
favorable for meeting outside....unlikely, but possible....  Therefore, the
Executive Committee will need to make a decision regarding the venue for the
November meeting. Suggestions welcomed.

2) I think we will try having a ZOOM call in November rather than a
conference call.  Anyone with a smart phone or computer should be able to
join.  I have a ZOOM account, but it is a freebie and will cut us off after
40 minutes.  Unless someone in the club has an unlimited account, we'll go
with that and see how it works.  The purpose is to allow those who call in
to hear a bit better and more fully participate.  I think most of you are
familiar with ZOOM by this time.

3) ILQP is coming up in just over a week.  Please plan to get on the air on
the 18th and support the club and the operating event.
