Old Business:
Brett-k9by no news on pursuing a new club call sign, everyone keep pursuing. Brett-k9by: Greg-k9gjn we are a go for use of the Janesville FD training grounds for this year’s ARRL 2021 Field Day if we decide to have an in-person Field Day. A discussion followed with hopes we will be able to have an in-person Field Day event this year. More discussions about safety concerns (Covig-19) to follow as the date get closer. Brett-k9by did anybody participate in Winter Field Day? Greg-k9gjn made about 20 contacts, Dean-k9flo monitored 20m and there was not much activity. Brett-k9by would like to have a Club Auction to build up our club funds. We could maybe have a virtual or try an in-person auction or mini ham-fest event, sometime in May. We could check into using a local vacant parking lot or Park facilities or Chuck’s place. Brett-k9by I am looking for ideas! Dean-k9flo suggested we plan this after Field Day to see how the Field Day event goes and then we could apply the safety ideas to our Auction/mini ham-fest event. A discussion followed such as size, locations, permits if needed, and insurance. We can make this our club event trial run!
New Business:
Brett-k9by Wisconsin QSO party (March): a spokesman from West Allis Club contact me wanting to do a 20 minute presentation at our next meeting March 1st , should be interesting. Dean-k9flo question on out of state contacts for the presenter.
