4. Juan gave the community events report, as Greg, KD6AIS, was at the meeting for the UNCF walk. This worthwhile event was coming up.

II. New Business

1. Field day 2000 is June 24-25. Ed, WA6MDJ, intends to hold the Club's participation at Guffy Campground on the Blue Ridge site if it's open in time. The usual Col. Carl BBQ is Saturday, and still only $10 for all you can eat.
2. Dieter notes that SCRRBA continues to move 440 MHz repeaters around to fit the new band plan, so some of your favorites may have new frequencies.
