Minutes of Baldwin Hills ARC Meeting 4/5/00

The fourth 2000 meeting of the Baldwin Hills Amateur Radio Club was called to order at 1957 on April 5, 2000 by the Vice-President, Juan, KB6KMU, as the President was not present. Also present were Hugh, NV6H, Secretary; and David, N6HGJ, our tireless Membership Chairman/Treasurer.

I. Old Business

1. The Vice-President mentioned that the Dayton Hamvention was coming up, and that lodging in the area fills up early.
2. The Secretary read the minutes from the March, 2000 meeting. They were approved with a correction.
1. The Secretary put on his ARRL hat and mentioned the April 15 change in the radio licensing structure, as if anyone didn't know. ARRL has filed its promised petition for reconsideration with the FCC, to keep Tech Plus in the database.
2. The Treasurer mentioned that the Club had a renewal, putting the treasury at $30.
3. Juan reported on the Club's participation in the soggy 2000 L.A. Marathon. A different repeater was used. Also, Juan notes that the PA on the Baldwin 10 meter repeater is fixed.
4. Greg, KD6AIS, the Community Events Chairman, also noted that the Marathon participation went well. Juan's antenna broke, and the Club intends to reimburse him, if anyone wants to chip in. The UNCF walk is in May, and it needs more personnel because there's also a bike tour this year. See Greg if you want to participate.

II. New Business

1. Dieter, KD6LVW, reported on the recent testing session at Jun's. 80 people showed up. Ted, N6ZZK, a BARC member, passed his upgrade and gets a community service point. Ed, KD6LT, helped out. Give that man a point too. Jun's had a paperwork-only session scheduled for April 15th, and a regular test session on the 29th. I'm hearing a lot of new /AG and /AE calls on the bands. Congratulations, folks. We can use the new blood.
2. With this, we stood ADJOURNED at 2040, until May 3, 2000.
