Emergency Radio Club of Reno County Minutes of 06 September 2007 Meeting In attendance were Tim KA4CKR, Scott KCØBHE, Joyce KCØWPH, Raymond KCØWPJ, Beth KCØWPI, Allen NØSCK, Zack WØZC, Larry KØSFV, Jake KBØZIA, Dwayne KBØFJI, Gary NØFHF, Bill KCØVBF Tom WØUY, Cleyon AD6P, Jon AJØNR, John NØOBY
Prior to
the meeting start, a group of members ascended to the roof of the EOC to
repair/replace a broken guy line on the HF vertical. In the course of
this work a section of the antenna was found to be bent at a bad angle.
The antenna was removed to minimize damage to the rest of the antenna
and the damaged part would be ordered from GAP.
The meeting
was finally called to order at 1925 hours local time by President Scott,
KC0BHE. The floor was turned over to Tom, W0UY but Tom yielded the floor
to Tim, KA4CKR.
Tim told
members a little more about the upcoming SET exercise, which is
scheduled for September 29th and 30th, 2007 to coincide with the Texas
QSO Party. Tim also told that the CERT picnic at Carey Park was set for
the same day, as well as the estate sale of George, W5TOQ (SK). He
explained that once the station was established and the schedule had
been worked out, there would only need to be one or two persons at a
time at the station location and members could attend those other
events. More information about this exercise is available at
www.wb0eoc.org
Tom then
demonstrated and gave a class session on the Yaesu FT1000MP Mark V Field
HF radio that would be used in the exercise. This is the same radio that
has been used for the last two years for Field Day and belongs to
Emergency Management. Members were offered hands-on demonstration of the
rig after the class session.
