The CRES Amateur Radio Club held its third-quarter general meeting
of the 2006 calendar year at the New Albany Library on Wednesday,
13 Sept 2006.  Those in attendance were: President Bill Erwin/N9CX,
Vice President David Brown/K8AX, Secretary/Treasurer Rob Stampfli/
KD8WK, Trustee Mike Rauh/W8GT, Contest Coordinator Carl Yaffey/K8NU,
Past President Tricia Kovacs/KC8HIH and members and friends K8ON,
K8KJ, K8TX, KD8BJ, K8LE, W8AGS, W3CRZ, WD8EBS, K8RSP, KD8DVR, KC8DJR,
N4DLR, K8LJ, WA8LBZ, N8OAW, and W8REW.

Bill Erwin called the business portion of the meeting to order
promptly at 7:00 PM.

Visitors John Wilkerson/KD8DVR and Rick Taylor/N8OAW were recognized.

Bill announced that Gordy Lashley/WD8CZG had donated some door
prizes that would be handed out at the end of the meeting.

The minutes from the previous meeting were approved.

The Treasurer reported a balance of $148.41 in the cash account,
$1647.80 in the checking/savings account, and $5459.81 in CDs.

Dave Woolf spoke for the repeater committee:  The phone line was
cut two weeks ago in the old clubroom.  This was repaired, although
we will try to get the phone line run directly to prevent this from
happening again.  The control receiver was also replaced, bringing
the repeater back to its full functionality.

Dave also reported the next VE exams will be held in December at
the Parkview Presbyterian Church.  The church will be doing some
renovations this fall, but they are expected to be completed by
December.

Bill reported that his canvassing of the officers showed everyone
willing to serve another term, but he stressed anyone in the club
desiring to throw their hat into the ring should do so.  He stated
he had appointed Al Mecozzi/WA8LBZ, and Dan Merrick/K8TX, as the
nominations committee.  The elections will be held at our 4th
quarter meeting.

The door prizes were awarded by a random drawing, and won by
K8LJ, K8ON, KD8BJ, KD8DVR, and W8AGS.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM, after which Mike Rauh
gave a great talk on modern ham receiver design, including the
advantages and disadvantages of single, double, and triple
conversion receivers, the relative merits of various filters
and their placement, and the integration of modern IF DSPs in
modern receivers.  Following Mike's talk, Al Mecozzi presented
a special digital slideshow of our 2006 field day event.

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli/KD8WK
