The CRES Amateur Radio Club held a dinner meeting at Donatos
Pizza, Brice and Livingston, Reynoldsburg, OH on 5 December
2001.  The meeting was called to order by Vice President
David Jeffords at 6:30 PM.  The following people were in
attendance:  KD8WK, NU7X, K8RSP, WD8EBS, K8TWH, WA8HPW,
K8TX, K8NU, WA8LBZ, K8KJ, KD8ZG, KE8QN, K8ON, K9RV, N4DB,
K8FMN, N8ZOG, N8ZKU, and WA8MWA.

The first order of business was to discuss and vote on a
proposed amendment to the Constitution.  Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
explained that the proposed amendment was the minimal change
necessary to allow a new set of officers to be elected.  One
can assume that the Executive Committee will revisit the task
of updating antiquated parts of the Constitution and Bylaws
when the they meet next year.

The proposal put forth by the Executive Committee involved
changing the wording of Article III, Section 1, from:

	"The regular membership of the CRES-ARC shall be
	 open to all persons who work at either 6200 East
	 Broad Street or 6400 East Broad Street and who
	 are interested in amateur radio."

to:

	"The regular membership of the CRES-ARC shall be
	 open to all licensed Radio Amateurs who currently
	 work for, or are retired from, any part of the
	 pre-divestiture Bell System, or any company
	 created therefrom."

After some discussion, and with the unanimous consent of
those present, the proposed change was modified to read
simply:

	"The regular membership of the CRES-ARC shall be
	 open to all licensed Radio Amateurs."

This change was voted on and passed unanimously by the
following people, who were the only ones present who were
qualified to vote on it under the original constitution:
K9RV, KD8ZG, and NV7X.  The change was later approved
by the Executive Committee, and the Secretary immediately
certified the change as official, thereby modifying the
Club's Constitution.

The next order of business was election of the 2002 set
of officers for the Club.  For President, Gordy Lashley/
WD8CZG had earlier agreed to run and Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS
was nominated from the floor.  For Vice President, the
names of David Jeffords/K8ON and Mike Rauh/NV7X were
placed in nomination.  For Secretary-Treasurer, Rob
Stampfli/KD8WK, and for Lab Manger, Jerry Scott/K9RV,
agreed to run.

The result of the election are:

	President:	 Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS
	Vice President:	 Mike Rauh/NV7X
	Sec/Treas:	 Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
	Lab Manager:	 Jerry Scott/K9RV
	Immed Past Pres: Gordy Lashley/WD8CZG

Those elected will take office on January 1.  The above,
along with Station Trustee Art Grandle/KD8ZG, will make
up the Club's Executive Committee.

The next order of business was a readout of the CQ-WE
contest.  K9RV indicated 15 people had participated,
and, of those, the top 10 scores were combined for our
location score.  The top two scorers from CB were K8RSP
and K8LJ.  It was generally conceded that the CB location
was the most prominent one in the contest.

Next, KD8ZG gave a report on this month's VE exam
session:  We had 11 examiners and 10 examinees.  The
exams yielded five new Technicians, plus an Extra and
a General class upgrade.  The next session will be at
the Parkview Presbyterian Church and will likely be held
the 6th of April.

Finally, KD8ZG, WD8EBS, and K8RSP gave an update on the
repeater.  Several capacitors were replaced in the voter
and it seems to be working better now.  The packet burst
we sometimes here comes from KB8UVN.  K8RSP and WD8EBS
are trying to run this ham down to determine why he is
transmitting packet on our input frequency.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:26 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
CRES-ARC Secretary/Treasurer
