Minutes of Baldwin Hills ARC Meeting 7/2/97


  The seventh 1997 meeting of the Baldwin Hills Amateur Radio Club was 
called to order by the President, Greg, KD6AIS, at 7:46 PM on July 
second.  Also in attendance were Robert, KF6CHA, the Vice-President; 
Hugh, NV6H, the Secretary; Ed, WA6MDJ, Chairman of the Board of 
Directors; and David, N6HGJ, our talented Membership Chairman/ 
Treasurer.


I. Old Business:

1. The Secretary read the minutes of the June meeting.  These were 
accepted.

2. Ed, KD6LT, reported that there had been a LAACARC (LA Area Council 
of Amateur Radio Clubs) meeting, but that he had not been able to make 
it.

3. The Secretary, acting in his capacity as ARRL representative, 
reported that Congress finally passed the bill giving some form of 
legal protection from frivolous lawsuits when amateurs serve 
voluntarily in such federal projects as the Amateur Auxilliary.  This 
one had been given up for dead.  It ought to help.

Also, the ARRL wanted everyone to know that the SAREX was at that time 
making contacts worldwide.  This was a very long SAREX mission, and a 
most successful one, despite your Representative being so into the 
Mars that he forgot to listen for it.


II.

New Business:

1. The President thanked everyone who came to Field Day, 1997.  It 
sounds as if the food was great, but not much operating went on.

2. The President showed the first, and so far only, submission for the 
ongoing recruiting flyer "contest."  This will continue, uh, until 
someone wins it.

3. Deiter reported from the floor that DCS needs hams for its role in 
the annual beach cleanup, this year to be held September 20.

4. After some discussion and socializing, the meeting was adjourned at 
8:42, until August 6, 1997.  Samir was again thanked for his usual 
awesome refreshments.
