Roll Call
Fifteen members and guests were in attendance. Introductions were made, and we had a new face, Jason Graham; he is currently unlicensed and will be working on his tech.
Reports
* January minutes were read; KIØKG and KAØNES made motion to accept, passed.
* Treasurer’s report read; KCØRWI/WØZC motioned, passed.
* Repeater trustee report: 67 working normally, still waiting on connectivity plan for Internet; 12 repeater, complaint of poor reception last net. This is usually due to atmospheric phenomena. There could also be some desensing caused by other transmitters in the penthouse.
Old business

* Field Day. State fair officials would require us to provide event insurance, so we declined. EOC has offered to let us use their new facility on G and Plum. We need to look it over and decide if it will work for us.
