K8RSP called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.

No one had any corrections for the past meeting's minutes.  W3CRZ gave
the Treasurer's report.  The Club has $9,280.06 in its various accounts
at Telhio.  We currently have 42 members.

K8RSP gave an update on our Field Day plans.  Unfortunately, we have
had less interest than in past years due to member medical issues and
travel plans.  We will have a phone and CW station, and Dave hopes to
have a working Satellite station as well.  An initial antenna set-up
will take place on Friday at 2 PM so that we don't have as much to
accomplish on Saturday morning.  No one yet has stepped forward to
coordinate the picnic, and if nobody does so, the club will fall back
to providing the soft drinks and let everyone fare for themselves on
other food items.

K8LJ reported that the CQ-WE certificates are coming along.  His wife
has been busy, but he expects to have a sample to share with the club
soon.

KD8ZG reported that he met with the Aladdin Shrine hamfest folks and
worked out the details for conducting VE exams.  The first 8 volunteers
will receive tickets for the hamfest.  The rest will have to pay to get
in.  Art also worked out a mechanism for handling those applicants who
only want to take the VE exams and do not want to attend the hamfest.
This will be the first VE exams we will conduct under the auspices of
the Laurel VEC.  Art and Dave will do a dry run with all the tests and
paperwork to ensure the test seeion itself goes smoothly.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM, after which Steve Katz/N8WL gave
a presentation/demonstration of the evolution of the 2-meter band,
including a test on how well we knew our handhelds.  Dave Woolf/K8RSP
then gave a talk/demo of the Mini VNA Pro circuit analyzer he bought
at Dayton this year.

Respectfully submitted,
Rob Stampfli / KD8WK
CRES-ARC Secretary
