An Executive Committee meeting of the CRES Amateur Radio Club was
held at the Donatos Pizza, Reynoldsburg, on Thursday 22 May 2003.
The meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM by President David
Jeffords/K8ON.  The meeting was attended by K8ON, VP KC8TM,
Sec/Treas KD8WK, Equip Mgr KB8DEO, Station Trustee NV7X,
Contest Coordinator K9RV, VE Liaison KD8ZG, Immediate Past
President WD8EBS, and members K8RSP, K8AX, and KD8BJ.

Dave Woolf/K8RSP reported that a total of $612 worth of tubes from
the club's stockpile have been sold to date:  $117 to club members,
$140 at Mansfield, and $355 at the Hamvention last weekend.  The
club netted $234 from the Hamvention, after expenses, including
$19 from donations from club member's private sales.  He estimated
that 10-20 club members stopped by the booth last weekend, including
Jim Hanlon/W8KGI from Arizona.

The date of the next general meeting was set at Wednesday, June
11th, as favored by the club members at the last general meeting.
Jack Kirkpatrick/KC8TM will reserve a meeting place for that
evening.  It is expected most of the discussion will concern
Field Day, so no program is planned.

The rest of the meeting concerned Field Day planning:

+ After much discussion on potential locations, the executive
  board voted to take Mike Rauh/NV7X up on his offer to use
  his property for this year's club Field Day site.

+ K8ON indicated Dwayne Trego/N8KDY offered to provide a generator.
  Additionally, the club will price renting a generator for the
  event.

+ After much discussion, it was decided to set up the stations
  using the existing facilities at NV7X's house:  Renting a truck
  or trailer was nixed because it might cause ruts in the soil at
  Mikes.  Instead, the garage will house one station, and the
  side porch the other.

+ K8RSP will provide a TS-430S rig for voice, and Art Grandle/KD8ZG
  a TS-520S rig for CW.  K8ON will bring a rig to use as a spare.

+ K8RSP and Dave Brown/K8AX will provide power supplies.

+ Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS confirmed that we can have a PSK and VHF/UHF
  station on the air in addition to our HF stations without affecting
  our class 2A operations.  Mike indicated he can provide the PSK
  station. Jerry Scott/K9RV will coordinate the VHF/UHF station.

+ K8RSP and KC8TM will provide computers for logging.

+ K8ON will be responsible for issuing the press release and
  reporting our results to the ARRL.

+ The club will provide munchies, burgers and soft drinks for
  the operators, and will host a cookout Saturday afternoon
  for participants and their interested friends and families.
  Attendees are encouraged to bring other potluck food items
  if they desire.

+ At the general meeting on June 11th, the excomm will ask
  the membership to approve an allocation of up to $150 for
  Field Day expenses.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
