The CRES Amateur Radio Club held a dinner meeting at Donatos Pizza,
Brice Rd and Livingston Ave, in Reynoldsburg, OH, on 12 December 2002.
The meeting was called to order by President Mike Stansbery/WD8EBS
at 6:55 PM.  The following people were in attendance:  KD8WK, WA8MWA,
KC8TM, K8RSP, N9CX, K8ON, K9RV, KC8HIH, N4DB, KD8ZG, W8RJM, W8REW,
NV7X, KD8BJ, K8KJ, W8FMN, and WD8EBS.

Mike started the meeting by going through the highlights of a
rather busy year for the club, which included opening the club
to non-AT&T-affiliated hams, repairing a problem with the club
repeater, dismantling the club station, procuring and auctioning
the club's equipment, and investigating options for the relocating
the repeater.  In addition, we had successful field day and CQ-WE
events, and held four meetings including a club picnic and holiday
dinner meeting, and conducted three VE Exam sessions.

Rob Stampfli/KD8WK, gave the Treasurer's report:

		Telhio savings:		$2353.20
		Telhio CDs:		$2000.00
		Petty Cash:		$ 129.00

Rob reported that the sale of club equipment netted $3254.00 from
12 bidders.  $2000 of this was used to purchase long term CDs at
a good rate.  The club still has several remaining pieces of
equipment from the old hamshack that we no longer need, but which
are judged to be valuable, and these will be offered for sale on
Ebay or at local hamfests.  In addition, Dave Woolf/K8RSP, has
researched the value of the many vacuum tubes in the club's
possession, and he estimated the value of these at $3126 retail,
although it is expected they would wholesale for a lot less,
perhaps ten cents on the dollar.  We are investigating how to
best liquidate this portion of the club's inventory.

Mike asked for volunteers to comprise a committee to audit the
Treasurer's books, which comes at the request of the Treasurer
and Executive Committee.  KC8HIH, W8FMN, and N9CX volunteered.
The audit will be conducted after the holidays.

It was announced that the club trusteeship is in the process of
being transitioned from Art Grandle/KD8ZG to Mike Rauh/NV7X.  The
Station Trustee is appointed by the Executive Board, and holds
the club's W8ZPF callsign.

Jerry Scott/K9RV gave a report on the recent CQ-WE event.  This
year we had 14 participants (vs. 16 last year).  K8RSP had high
score for the club (63,775 points), and Bob Kenyon/K8LJ came in
second (53,144 points).  The club's total points were recorded
as 253,760.  In general, these totals were about half of last
year's scores, primarily due to poor band conditions.

Art Grandle/KD8ZG announced that the club will give a VE Exam
session this Saturday, December 14th.  Participating VEs should
meet at 7:00AM at Bob Evans, Brice Rd, for breakfast, or at
8:45AM at Parkview Presbyterian Church, Livingston Ave, for
the exam session, which starts at 9:00AM.

Art Grandle motioned and Dave Woolf seconded that the club
send a $20 donation to QSL.net (the provider of our official
club web site) and a $20 donation to C&J Systems (the provider
of our club email lists and secondary web site).  Motion passed.

Art Gradle motioned that the club expend $5 to renew our membership
and repeater coordination with the Ohio Area Repeater Council.
Motion passed.

The nominations committee reported that they were placing the
following names in nomination for the 2003 officer positions:

		President:	David Jeffords/K8ON
		Vice President:	Jack Kirkpatrick/KC8TM
		Sec/Treasurer:	Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
		Lab Manager:	Stu Steenburgh/KB8DEO

No names were placed in nomination from the floor.  Art Grandle
motioned that the slate presented by the nominations committee
be accepted by acclamation.  Motion passed.  Those elected
will take office on 1 January 2003.

Art commented that it was nice to see such a good turnout.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:15PM.

After the meeting adjourned, three members won door prizes
which were provided from the club's equipment inventory:

		N4DB		Radio Shack audio filter
		K8KJ		Triplett VOM and three books
		K9RV		Kantronics UTU-XT

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
