Repeater Report:
It is working. We did have a few issues with volts to the system, but Bob did some cleaning on connections and it is working well.

Old Business:
A quick discussion about the club dinner was held. Everyone that attended had a good time. Good food & discussion was the main comment. There was one complaint though and that was that we were not all at one big table. Bob with approval from the club wanted to send a Thank You note to MD’s. Everyone agreed that having it after the holidays was much better than having it during. The club agreed that Bob will send the Thank You note.

New Business:
Bob reminded those present that their dues were due this month.

Field Day was discussed again. The location, on the river, was brought up for comments and questions. The major plus is that there are a lot of trees for antennas and other essentials. Tip suggested going out the weekend before the day and get everything semi-ready. The proposed time period is around June 21st. A roster for radio usage was suggested to be used; we want everyone that wants to use the radios to have a chance. We have an equipment list that is available for volunteers. Voice, digital, and some CW modes are going to be used at the event. Food discussion was put off till a later date. Doing it as a joint event with the Andalusia club was suggested by Tip. Pat will bring it up at the Andalusia club meeting for discussion.

A motion to adjourn was made by Vic and seconded by Steven. Members present agreed and the motion carried.

Meeting adjourned at 7:37pm.
