We used the ICS forms

Gray will be getting a report on the county control station performance during this exercise.

What could use improvement: ICS form 205 (quick plan form) was not prepared in advance. It states the planned frequencies for use in exercise. Also the school station should have a binder with the necessary communication forms. And our club might have taken charge as NET control in Santa Clara county's absence during this exercise.

EC report: already covered.

President report: none this month.

New Business: It was suggeted that we have a club field day. It was also suggested that we participate in other clubs' field days. Ie the Empire Grade big national, annual exercise coming up the last weekend of this month.
