W3CRZ did the same for the Treasurer's report, indicating the club
had a grand total of $9,238.13 in the bank and a total of 29 paid
members.  Bob also indicated the club took 3rd place in the OSPOTA
contest for multi-op low-power stations.  He also indicated he had
a free ticket to the Athens and Jackson County hamfests if anyone
wanted them.

KD8ZG indicated our next VE exam session will be held on Saturday,
April 10th, at Parkview Presbyterian Church.  There will be a
breakfast meeting at 7:30 for those wishing to meet before the
exams.  Art also indicated he is investigating our VE team affiliating
with the Laurel VEC out of Maryland because they sponsor free exams.

It was announced that W3CRZ will lead the team that will produce the
CQ-WE certificates and a request was made for volunteers to assist.
K8LJ said he will ask his wife to help with the design of the cert.

It was announced that, barring unforeseen circumstance, we will once
again have our Field Day event at the Infirmary Mound Park on SR37
near Granville.

K8LJ introduced his friend and guest Dick Leffler/W8RLL.

N8WL urged everyone to follow up on the recent ARRL mailing about
faxing US Representatives Henry Waxman and Joe Barton to urge them
to release Senate bill S.1755.  This bill includes legislation to
allow the Department of Homeland Security to study the extent to
which ham radio is impeded by Home Owner association rules and deed
restrictions.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:16 PM, after which WA8PGE, W8NFT,
KD8UT, and K8QJ gave various talks and demonstrations of software
defined ham radios.

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli / KD8WK
CRES-ARC Secretary
