thank you notes/email from Tony KMØO, Glenn WØGJ, and DX Team Coordinator
Andy DJ7IK, for the TCDXA donations to there respective DXpeditions
to XU7, VU7RG, and 5A7A.
Discussion on the previous months vote and donation to the VU7RG group, and
motion made passed to donate an addition $500 to that DXpedition.
Bob WØEK raised the question of Club dues for the coming year, per the bylaws.
After a short discussion, the members voted to raise the yearly dues to $25.
New Business:
Discussions on the monies kept by the Club in
a separate fund for care and upkeep of the Packet Cluster and Club Repeater.
Members agreed to move those Cluster/ Repeater funds into the General fund, and
take monies as needed to support upgrades/repairs. Lou said that the next time
the RF portion of the cluster needs major repairs, it will probably be removed.
Telnet access will be kept running, and RF connections from remote nodes (N0AT
and N5IN) will not be affected by this..
President Bob discussed the Christmas Party
for the December meeting. The Club will provide for one free drink ticket for
each member, and one horsey-doover plate for each table.
Mike KØBUD invited those who wish to attend
to come to the annual breakfast at Perkins (394 & Louisiana in Golden
Valley) at 6am this Friday.
The funds allocated for the Glorioso Dxpedition
has been withdrawn, as this Dxpedition has been postponed several times.
The next item of discussion was for a change
in the voting procedure for DXpedition funding. The proposed funding for a
dxpedition will be emailed to all members, and allow everyone a chance to vote
on the proposal. A motion was made and carried for this funding policy change.
A motion was made and approved to wait until
the December meeting each year to determine if a donation can and will be made
to NCDXF.
Nomination for Club
officers for the coming year was opened. Dennis KFØQR stated that he will not
seek reelection for the office of Secretary. Bob WØEK, and Mike WØWG stated
they would be willing to continue in there current positions if there are no
other nominations. That leaves open the nomination for Club Secretary.....As is
normally the case, volunteers are greatly appreciated.
Jim KØJUH stated that the Grayline Report will not be coming out in December,
but will be delayed until after the first of the new year
Presentation: Tom WØZR gave a short presentation on
his thoughts of his new Yaesu FT2000...sounds like it a keeper.
