TREASURER’S REPORT was posted on the wall by Treasurer Paul, K3NON. A lot of money was spent in the clubhouse this past month or two, mostly on the kitchen. We still need to have the water checked to make sure it’s okay. Motion submitted for acceptance of the report, seconded and accepted.
SECRETARY’S REPORT was posted on the wall by Secretary Paul, WN4AMO: Motion submitted for acceptance of the report, seconded and accepted.
ENGINEERS REPORT:
ARES/RACES: We recently had an ARES exercise and someone sent us a nasty e-mail about the testing. Paul read the e-mail. Essentially, it was an e-mail from a disgruntled listener who felt our changing frequencies was secretive and childish. General agreement was that the way we operate the net does not violate FCC rules (as suggested by the reader). We are not hiding anything, merely using communication techniques that save time and effort. Consensus was that the e-mail does not warrant a response.
Rick, N7WE made comments about the recent ARES drill and thanked those present for their participation.
He felt there was a lot of learning that took place with people getting education about how to program their radios and what to program them for (for ARES). He felt the drill overall was very worthwhile. A couple of problems with one of the repeaters was also discovered.
The IS 700 class will be June 5 starting at 7:30 AM here at the clubhouse. This Thursday is our regular ARES meeting. New information about changes taking place in Lake County emergency management.
It’s almost hurricane season! We, as amateurs particularly, need to be aware more than ever of what we need to be prepared for food, water, supplies, etc.
Wednesday and Thursday the state held its hurricane exercise. It was somewhat unattended by the state officials because of the huge oil spill off the Louisiana coast. The test was a simulation of both a day shift and a night shift. The exercise typically takes an historic storm, plots it and identifies the steps that would be taken were that a real emergency. During these tests, particular emphasis is made for Tampa and Miami, as these are the locations where huge fuel depots for the state are off loaded and distributed.
HAMFEST REPORT:
QCWA: John, W8KCE made brief comments about QCWA and operation on the repeater they normally use. They are now using Echo-Link again – no more meetings until September. They’re still having their Tuesday evening nets on 147.225. Side note – the “39 machine” was “kicked off” the tower where they’re located. Club members are still looking for a new site for the repeater.
FOX HUNTING:
FIELD DAY: Update by Steve, KT4Q – coming up in about 6 weeks. For the benefit of new people and guests, Steve gave a synopsis of what Field Day is all about. It’s now confirmed we will be at the Bragg Center, off Lane Park Road, south of Tavares. This is the facility the county uses for various training purposes, including fire-fighting. Irv, KB1E, is going to conduct a brief training class on the logging software, N1MM Logger. Ted, K1AYZ, will be notified when we would like to provide access for the public, so he can have the appropriate press notice made.
DXING/CONTESTING:
OLD BUSINESS:
NEW BUSINESS: Ted, K1AYZ got several articles published recently, promoting amateur radio. He brought in copies of the articles published.
The club received a plaque for its participation in the recent March of Dimes event.
Irv, KB1E is involved in music at the Villages. The concert band and another band are having a concert to raise money for Fisher House (for wounded veterans and families). The concert will be at the Savannah Center 4 PM and 7 PM July 3, 2010.
SUNSHINE REPORT: KK4AJM, James Brown from Apopka is now SK. He used to check into the ARES net on a regular basis.
ELMER SESSION: Mike, W8EHH, noted that MFJ is nowmanufacturing their own version
of Power Poles and wanted to know if anyone knew anything about them.

SECRETARY’S REPORT was posted on the wall by Secretary Paul, WN4AMO: Motion submitted for acceptance of the report, seconded and accepted.
ENGINEERS REPORT: Lenny (KB4MBN) Relayed to club via K4AC: UHF machine - tone is out, 147.000 controller is out – should be back up this coming week.
ARES/RACES: Next Event: March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon April 24; thanks to all the volunteers for Ibini Tera: LCARES will partner with Sarasota Amateur Communications Service; ARES logo being finalized. Irv (KB1E) made reference to “waiting for the tail to drop” when using the cross-ref repeater. Doug also pointed out that on the dual-mode repeaters, make sure you have the proper tone on both receive and transmit, otherwise you’ll hear “garbage” on one of the modes.
Paul, K3NON, volunteered to be the organizer/coordinator for our club for the March of Dimes event. Paul, K3NON, said the section manager showed up at the recent ARES meeting this past Thursday night.
HAMFEST REPORT: November Hamfest has been approved as an ARRL Hamfest
QCWA: Meeting at Haystacks at noon (Saturdays), continue to hold weekly net 7:30 PM 145.39 Roger, W9JRY, said one of the national directors was present at their last gathering. He had visited an antique radio museum and had a slide show presentation. Net has been fairly active, but noted that echo-link has been removed and there was a glitch with the repeater they use. Paul, K3NON noted that the node has been recently changed.
FOX HUNTING:
FIELD DAY: Ken (N9KS): Trying to get Bragg Center as QTH – should be locked down within 1 – 2 weeks; each Saturday meeting from now on will be devoted to working on various items to be used at Field Day. Question was asked about any need for a rider on our insurance. Doug said we’re trying to avoid that and trying to get everyone to look at it as a county exercise/drill instead of an “event.” Next month we plan to build a couple of antennas for the higher bands (10 and 15 meters) so we’ll have extra antennas available other than multi-band beams.

It was noted that Steve, KT4Q, plans to operate the FLA QSO Party from the club house. Irv said it might be a good idea to come by after the March of Dimes event and take a peek at how N1MM operates, as that’s the same program we’ll be using during Field Day.
OLD BUSINESS: Still some work parties that need to be done, but they’ve been on hold as Doug and Al have both been very busy. The TECH class has been put off until June due to lack of time for organizing and locking down the facility for the class.
NEW BUSINESS: HP0/K1AYZ and HP0/K8BBT both recently operated MM (Mobile Maritime) on a cruise. There were 25 other hams on the cruise with a couple of HF stations set up on the fantail of the ship. They operated CW, AMTOR, SSB and PSK31, running IC-7000s with screwdriver antennas mounted one deck up. It was organized by a group of hams out of Virginia with the assistance of the engineering staff of the cruise ship. Ted, K1AYZ, plans to write this “event” up for one of the ham publications.
Several officers will be at Dayton for the HamVention, which coincides with our scheduled May meeting. We’ll probably have to “cobble together” a meeting with some of the board members as Paul, K3NON will be virtually the only officer present.
Paul, K3NON would like to have the names of the volunteers for the March of Dimes event, KB1E, K8BBT, N9KS, K1AYZ, W2GGC. The volunteer group will have the club’s trailer for this event.
Ted, K1AYZ, noted that the Royal Harbor amateur group is getting ready to start a 10 meter net.
Frequency will be 28450 on Wednesday evenings – it will come on later in the evening so it won’t conflict with the regular 7 PM ARES net.
SUNSHINE REPORT: Irv, KB1E is back with us. He says all the parts he still has are still working!
ELMER SESSION: We have a new router in the club house. Who is entitled to use it? Paul said it’s available to anyone who can read it! Doug, K4AC, gave a brief description of PropNet, with the PSK31 beacons.
Chuck, KI4HJH, has a Kantronics device he’s having problems with. From his description, Irv, KB1E, suspected he needs to address the KISS mode, where it appears to be switching off automatically from that mode.
