Nets
It was decided that no net control list will be created and that folks can just stand up if available.

All repeaters working well. Austin wants to check out the AB6VS repeater next year to see about getting the hum out of it.
Bert had contacted the County regarding equipment lost in the fire. No response has been forthcoming from the County.
ARES EC Report
Gary mentioned that he received a request from Scott Morse to update his County ARES member lists. He has one list for Santa Clara and one for Santa Cruz. It was recommended that everyone log into both counties and update their information.

The ECs may be involved in the near future in a meeting regarding the upcoming Super Bowl.
