Minutes of Baldwin Hills ARC Meeting 11/3/99

The eleventh 1999 meeting of the Baldwin Hills Amateur Radio Club was called to order by the Secretary, Hugh, NV6H, at 1939 on November 3, 1999. The President, James, N6KWI, arrived soon after, and was handed the virtual gavel. Also present was David, N6HGJ, our dedicated Membership Chairman/Treasurer.

I. Old Business

1. The Secretary read the minutes of the October meeting, which James had been nice enough to take down. The Secretary lost his eye, but has since glued it back onto the Official Pen. The minutes were approved.
2. The Treasurer noted that we had $69 of treasure, with a bank fee about to subtract $7.50 from that.
3. Ed, KD6LT, reported on the LA Area Council of Amateur Radio Clubs meeting held the previous night. ARRL is still fighting LA County's decision to put a radio system on 2.4 gig. The Queen Mary convention was a success, with 2000 in attendance.
4. The Secretary, in his capacity of ARRL representative, commented on the new rules for electronic contest submissions, as much as he understood them any better than you do.
5. Dieter, KD6LVW, noted that he is now secretary of the Southern California Digital Communication Council. Congratulations are in order.
6. Greg, KD6AIS, discussed community events, including repeater site cleanup and the possibility of a bicycle event being included at the next UNCF Walk-A-Thon.

II. New Business

1. Dieter took the floor to propose a BARC packet node. (I'd use it.)
2. Nominations were taken for the upcoming election. Greg, KD6AIS, and David, N6HGJ, were both nominated for Treasurer, so we might even have a contested election.
3. After this, we stood ADJOURNED at 2026, until December 1, 1999.
