The CRES Amateur Radio Club held a meeting over lunch on 17 May 2000.
The meeting was called to order by President Jerry Scott/K9RV at 11:45 AM.
Those in attendance were:  K9RV, WD8CZG, WB7AIZ, KA8ZRT, KD8WK, WD8EBS,
and N8YXK.

The minutes from the last meeting were approved after correcting the URL
for the CRES ARC external web site.  The correct URL is:

The Treasurer reported $1004.25 in Telhio, $23.61 in petty cash, $9.51
on deposit with the CRES Club, and $90 in undeposited dues.

Jerry reported the April 22 VE Exam session was successfully conducted,
and he received several positive comments from the applicants.  Those
members who upgraded are still awaiting FCC action due to the deluge
of activity after the recent rules change.  To check on your status in
the FCC database, you can use the following URL:

Of course, replace "KD8WK" with your call sign.  The next club-sponsored
VE Exams will be held August 5th at the Columbus Hamfest.

Jerry reported Art is still working on the second Heathkit WWV clock.
The first has been repaired and is back in operation in the club room.

Jerry indicated he had contacted the person responsible for issuing
CQWE certificates and had received a response which stated he has been
very busy.  He still has all the paperwork and hopes to get to it this
summer.  Jerry will send a prototype certificate to him, and may offer
to help with the production of the certificates.

Field day is June 24 and 25 this year.  Jerry is coordinating the event.
He requests that interested parties contact him.  Gordy Lashley/WD8CZG
may set up a SSTV station, and other modes of operating are actively
being sought.

Jerry reported Bill Woody/WK8H had contacted him to inquire if anyone
in the club would be interested in assisting with the Civil Air Patrol.
Bill sees lots of opportunities for hams to have fun in the CAP.  If
interested, contact Bill at 614-575-6614.

The next club meeting will be June 21.  It will predominantly be a
Field Day planning meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 PM, after which Jerry gave a talk on
the elements of a ham radio station.

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