An Executive Committee Meeting of the CRES Amateur Radio Club
was held on 28 Aug 2002.  The meeting was called to order by
President Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS at 7:00 PM.  Those present were
Mike Stansbery, Mike Rauh/NV7X (VP), Jerry Scott/K9RV (Lab Mgr),
Rob Stampfli/KD8WK (Sec/Treas), Art Grandle/KD8ZG (Trustee), and
Dave Woolf/K8RSP.

WD8EBS and K8RSP reported that they had been approached by another
ham claiming that when the CORC 146.76 machine and our W8ZPF
repeater were on the air simultaneously, it caused interference
to his repeater on 146.55.  After some discussion, we concluded
that the likely problem was 3rd order products in the complainant's
equipment and not spurious problems in ours.  Also, the complainant
is operating an uncoordinated repeater on a simplex channel.  We
elected not to take further action at this time.

NV7X presented a bill for a van rental for the field day CW station.
The Executive Committee voted to reimburse Mike for the van out of
Club funds.

The committee selected the date of Tuesday, 17 September 2002, for
the 3rd Quarter Club meeting.  The meeting will be a picnic at
Blacklick Park which will commence at 6 PM.  The committee elected
not to rent a shelter, but to try to acquire one of the open ones.
The committee voted to expend not more than $100 for this event.
The Club will provide burgers, hotdogs, and soft drinks.  Those
attending are asked to bring a covered dish or appetizer.  The
Secretary will notify the membership and request a headcount.
WD8EBS will purchase the meat items at Sams Club.  KD8ZG agreed
to go over to the park early to claim a shelter.

WD8EBS indicated he had spoken with Dale McIlhargie from the
plant, and Dale had indicated the he would provide the paperwork
to allow the Club to remove the items in our Club inventory from
the premises.  (But, he would not permit us to remove the active
antennas because, for safety reasons, he did not want us working
on the towers.)  Mike will contact Dale and set up a date for us
to enter the building and retrieve the equipment.  The expectation
is that all equipment will have to be removed at that time.  We
expect to need several people to assist in this effort.  The sense
of the committee is that we will liquidate the equipment of value
through sales to Club members or a wider audience once we have
possession of it.  Initially, only paid members will be allowed
to bid on the equipment.

The repeater presents a more difficult problem.  Our most recent
understanding is that there is a likelihood that the part of the
building where the repeater is located will be emptied soon and
its population relocated.  If and when this occurs, we may lose
access to the room where the repeater is situated.  After much
discussion, the committee elected to leave the repeater in place
and operating for now, but remains prepared to remove it quickly
should the situation deteriorate.  The committee asked the Secretary
to canvass the membership to see if anyone knew of a potential site
where we could relocate the machine to if needed.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 PM.

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