Minutes of Baldwin Hills ARC Meeting 3/5/97


  The third 1997 meeting of the Baldwin Hills Amateur Radio Club was 
called to order by the President, Greg, KD6AIS, at 7:41 PM on March 
fifth.  Also in attendance were Robert, KF6CHA, the Vice-President; 
Hugh, NV6H, the Secretary; and Ed, WA6MDJ, Chairman of the Board of 
Directors.


I. New Business

1. The Secretary read the minutes of the February meeting.  These were 
accepted and will go to the web page.

2. The Secretary noted that he would continue on as the Club's ARRL 
representative, and he thus noted that the League was looking for 
input for a future FCC petition to considerably change the ham license 
structure.  This was followed by a lively discussion of the military's 
controversial HAARP ionospheric heater in Alaska.

3. Ed, WA6MDJ, noted that the 440 MHz repeater was still down, and 
that the Los Angeles Marathon had made good use of 2 meters on Baldwin 
Hills.

4. Ed, KD6LT, is the new LAACARC (Los Angeles Area Council of Amateur 
Radio Clubs) representative, and will attend the next meeting.

4. The President thanked everyone who helped out with the L.A. 
Marathon, and he handed an extra race goodie bag to WA6MDJ for use of 
his 220 MHz repeater in the medical net.  (Applause.)

5. The President discussed the design of a new flyer for the radio 
stores.  The winning design gets a community event raffle ticket.


Old Business:

1. The saga of the membership cards continues.  Though the President 
had decided to print up business cards with everyone's names, Teri 
came up with some gorgeous blank ones that she had printed.  It was 
decided that we would find some way to put everyone's names on these 
and make them laminated and all pretty.  (As of April 2nd, 
unfortunately, we are still looking.  There have been a few problems 
here.)

2. The saga of the newsletter similarly continues.  It's been decided 
to make the publication smaller, so it can come out more frequently.


After this, the meeting was adjourned at 8:22 PM until April 2, 1977.  
The President thanked Samir for his usual fine refreshments.
