SCARC MEETING NOTES
July 12, 2007

President Rod Scott N1YZ called the meeting to order at 19:00 CDT by asking if there were any visitors and Greg Pack KE4CTX introduced himself. The attendees then introduced themselves and signed the meeting attendance sheet which is attached to this document.

Vic President Mike Burns KE4DZU reminded everyone that the next meeting on July 26, 2007 will be a discussion of/vote on the proposed changes to the SCARC Constitution and By-Laws. He also welcomed any ideas for future SCARC programs.

Treasurer Jack Evans KC4PZA reports that the Club savings and checking accounts have respective current balances of $171.74 and $1291.05. He also reported that the new repeater and antenna system has been completely paid for. Donations for the project totaled $1440.00. Donations for the general repeater fund are still gladly accepted.

Jack is also the interim Club EC due to the resignation of Howard Moss KC4QJA who has changed jobs and must work conflicting shifts. Jack brought copies of the Net Preamble and asked for volunteers to act as net control. (The net meets on 146.98 MHz every Tuesday night at 20:00.) He mentioned that the new repeater has already helped to increase the number of check-ins. Rod Scott informed the club that Les Rayburn N1LF will assume the duties of the Shelby County Emergency Coordinator.

Secretary Bill Davidson KW4J informed the Club of a D-Star Users Meeting to be held at Embassy Suites Hotel, Huntsville 18:00-20:00 August 18, 2007, which is during the Huntsville Hamfest. He also said that any nominations for the 2007 Alabama Section Outstanding Youth should be sent to Rebecca Dorff WG4Y as soon as possible. Frank Hoult KI4VVI passed his General Class test last Friday at the SCARC VE Session. (Congratulations Frank!)

The regular business was dispensed with for the purpose of a presentation on the new OMNI VII by Scott Robbins W4PA, Radio Product Manager for the TenTec Corporation.
