Repeater Committee
Our VHF repeater (147.375) is not operational. John, AA9JL believes there is something in the neighborhood of the repeater causing the interference. He is in the process of attempting to isolate the problem. He also encouraged more use of the repeater such as running a net on a regular basis or an on-air swapfest. He believes the repeater will be operational some time this week. UHF machine 444.350 working properly per Ron, W9RMA
New Business
Skip, W9JRW inquired about any interest in a Valentine’s party. There was enough interest to begin plans for a party on Friday, February 15th to take place at Eagle’s Club in order to take advantage of the buffet at this location.
Ron Larson, W9RLL advised the club that all are welcome to attend Eau Claire Amateur Radio Club’s Christmas party to be held on December 11th at Oxbow Hotel in Eau Claire. There is a cash bar beginning at 17:30 followed by the meal at 18:30.
Bruce Mitchell, AA9AB brought to the meeting two project kits that he had completed – an antenna analyzer and a frequency counter. Both projects were very inexpensive and easily assembled.
