The current 3B7C operation was commended for their log server and the effort to provide band opening info based on the actual times they worked stations in the NA zones on various bands.  It’s all available on their website at  http://www.3b7c.com/

Raffle Ticket Drawing:   $98 was taken in with Mike, KØBUD, Donn, KØQC, and Doug, KØPX, each winning $25, and $23 going to the club treasury.    

Program:  Due to a snafu with the projection equipment, the program by Scott, KØMD on his trip to China was postponed and will be re-scheduled for a future meeting.

Worth mentioning:  Dave, KØIEA did not attend the meeting due to being under the weather.   This was ONLY the second meeting Dave has missed since becoming a member back in the 70’s.  What a guy!
