Old Business

Comments were made on our hamfest and a short discussion pertaining to our members’ elegibility for door prizes followed.  Also, some members brought up the fact that we may want to curtail the amount we spend on prizes for our next hamfest.  It was decided that we have plenty of time to discuss this for next year.

Ken Robinson brought up an email that he received from the Weather Service at Jackson.  They are interested in holding a Skywarn Weather Spotter class in our area in January or February and want to know if we might have anyone interested in taking it.  Several of our members responded that they would and may know other people that would like to do this.  We will try to come up with a number and report this to the Weather Service.  Hopefully we will have enough for a class.

 

We selected Frank Wells as our new Ham of the Quarter for the Fourth Quarter of 2018.

 

We hope to have enough members to go to Jackson, KY on the 1^st of December to operate in Skywarn Days. Details will follow in an email.
