The CRES Amateur Radio Club held its first meeting of the year in the
Franklin Room on 07 January 1999.  In attendance were: W8ERW, KD8ZG,
KE8QN, WD8EBS, WB9PXH, K9RV, WD8CZG, KD8WK, KC8HIH, KA8ZRT, and K8RSP.
The meeting was called to order by Jim Yoder/W8ERW at 11:40 AM.

The first order of business was holding elections and installing a new
set of officers.  Jim reported that the following slate of officers
have agreed to serve for the year 1999:

	President	Jerry Scott/K9RV
	Vice President	Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS
	Lab Manager	Gordy Lashley/WD8CZG
	Sec/Treas	Rob Stampfli/KD8WK

Bill Ludwig/KE8QN moves that the Constitutional requirements be temporarily 
rescinded to allow elections to occur at this time.  Art Grandle/KD8ZG
seconds.  Motion passes.

Rob Stampfli moves, and Mike Stansbery seconds, that there being no offices
in contention, the recommended slate be elected by acclimation and that
those elected take office immediately.  Motion passes.

Rob reported that there was $711.17 in the Treasury, $16.15 in petty cash,
and $60.00 in undeposited dues in his possession.

Rob indicated that the Amateur Radio Trader magazine was up for renewal.
A quick canvassing of those present showed no interest in renewing the
publication and it was decided that, unless others indicated an interest
in renewing, it would not be renewed.

Those present discussed ways of reinvigorating the organization.  It was
decided that the club would once again hold regular meetings.  The third
Wednesday of each month was selected as the meeting dates, which include
Jan 20th and Feb 17th.  Jim Yoder will try to reserve the Franklin Room
on the third Wednesday so that we have a common meeting place.  We'll
send out a meeting announcement confirming the location later.

Gordy indicated that the club internal web page is located at

and, additionally, he maintains an external web presence at

A discussion of email ensued.  Several people mentioned that Dan
Merrick/K8TX, was having problems getting email into Lucent.  Rob
explained that Dan was using a hotmail.com account and all mail from
hotmail is blocked at the Lucent firewall due to incidents of spamming
originating from that site.  This is beyond the control of the radio
club.  (For information on blocked sites at Lucent, check out the following:)

A discussion of who held keys to the ham radio room and who of the new
officers needed them took place.  All keys we know of are accounted for
and Bill Ludwig will look into filing the necessary key change requests.

Art asked if the CW-ID for W8ZPF/R could be shortened to not include the
location.  Gordy indicated it could.  A discussion of reset beep modes
on the machine followed.

Jim stated that Doug Svitchen/N8IQT had asked whether the club would be
interested in putting his 440 Mhz repeater on the air from the plant.
Some disccusion ensued, but no decision was reached.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:45 PM.

A short meeting of the Executive Committee was held after the business
meeting to appoint the club Directors.  Bob Kenyon/K8LJ, the current
trustee for the club callsign, is retiring and the Executive Committee
voted to appoint Art Grandle/KD8ZG to replace Bob.  Art agreed to this
position, and will continue as the VE Liaison as well.  Jim Yoder will
ask Doug Svitchan/N8IQT if he would like to replace Jerry Scott as the
Interworks Coordinator.  If so, he will get the position.  If not, Jerry
will continue in that role, as well as in the position of President.
