LSARC MINUTES

Nov. 9, 2024

Meeting was called to order by Rudy Behrens at 1204.

Minutes of the last meeting were read by Rudy Behrens.  There was an addition made by Scott that the proper authorities be notified that the 440 repeater is off line for maintenance so there will be no issue of that being dropped by the FCC. 

Terry Dean made a motion to accept the minutes with the addition and was seconded by Susan Wall.  Motion carried.

Treasurers Report: Susan Wall reported a balance of $2814.54.  Both CD’s have rolled over at the same interest rates.

Motion was made to accept the report as given by Terry Dean  and seconded by Walt   .  Motion carried.

Old Business:

Membership in ARRL by a number of our members in order to obtain insurance for the repeater site and our equipment.  This was again affirmed by the majority.  Each participating member will be given a discount of $20.00 with each club membership renewal.

Payment to Drew Wood was reviewed and approved again.

Use of our existing tower and antenna was reviewed again and it was agreed, again that we should utilize what we have to the best of our ability.  If we have access to another tower later, we will address that issue at that time.

Rudy Behrens suggested that we speak with HBE about the possibility of furnishing the club with internet if they also utilize the static IP address system.  Will follow up on that.

NEW BUSINESS:

It was agreed that the next meeting would be a combination Thanksgiving and Christmas meeting/meal to be held at Rudy and Retas’  home in lower Grandview on the second Saturday of December.  All approved.

Motion was made that the meeting be adjourned by Terry Dean and seconded by Cameron Dunaway.  Motion carried. 

Meeting adjourned at 1238.
