MINUTES OF THE 2 Sept 10 ROGUE VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB MEETING.

The meeting was called to order by President Herb Gray, W7MMI at 1905L in the Red Cross building in Medford, OR.

Herb had our guests introduce themselves. They are Carl Van Orden, KF7LAF and John Griffin, KF7JWC.

Herb said, " since the minutes are in the news-letter they will not be read." Treasurer Lud Sibley, KB2EVN said, “the approximate treasury balance is $1400 plus.”

OLD BUSINESS:

Scott Cummings, KD7EHB gave a report. Field day got off to a slow start because they couldn’t set up on Friday. The event was a success with several CAP cadets operating. Around of applause was accorded to Scot, Don Bennett and Tom McDermott for the efforts in making the years field day a success.

NEW BUSINESS:

Pete Bateman, N7NS a well know local ham passed away. Van Sias, K7VS volunteered to get rid of his electronic stuff. Pete’s brother Erick asked Van sell the gear and he would split with the radio club. Van made a motion and Lud seconded it and it pass stating “the RVARC club members would sell the gear and split 50/50 with Erick the profits minus any expenses like selling and shipping.” Van will make a complete listing of the gear.

At 1930L Herb put the meeting on hold for coffee and “eye ball” QSO.

At 2000L Herb called the meeting back into session. Tom McDermott, N5EG put on a very informative presentation on radio wave propagation.
