Equipment Report:
EOC is moved!
First test? Concern expressed that without test we can’t be certain that everything works. Test expected during the MERC Red Cross exercise at Redwood Estates on the 27th.
AB6VU repeater is still being serviced. Building a new decoder with a box and connectors.
President’s Report:
Compiled transmission reports from the simplex exercises. Next step is to put the data on a map. Thought that pairs on a map might be a superior option. Perhaps with a color code for signal quality.
Field day, Bonnie Doon (Santa Cruz ARES), June 21 - 23. Suggest that we participate. Another location is Choose Ridge. Next meeting will bring more information.
