Everyone has been reimbursed for the repeater upgrade
Equipment Report:
For the repeater upgrade installation, who wants to watch.
Pam will go if it is during the week.
Dan and Bert got together to continue the upgrade. We were
available to get basic operation, but not the link to AE6KE
very clearly. Bert upgraded the cable and shielded the cables.
Bert did a test tonight and is now getting a signal through.
Still some work to be done. We will press forward with the
effort.
President's Report:
Mike AC6E held his NVIS antenna building exercise last weekend.
Several participants were able to build NVIS antennas.
Penny was interested as to how we can invite more Santa Cruz
ham operators.
Penny participated in the Santa Cruz CERT response exercise.
Bert noted Santa Cruz folks were training with tactical call
signs which Mike M. included in his training. Bert also noted
we need more training for relaying communications amongst the
group.
Pam noted Cap of Santa Cruz for people to practice sending
packed communications.
Upcoming Events / Activities:
