EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
The Executive Committee, consisting
of the officers of the Club and
the Chairmen of its committees,
meets at 7:39 p.m. on the second
Thursday after the club meeting at
the home of various of its members.
The May meeting will be at the home
of K6HAV.
At the April meeting at the home
of ·K6HAV, the Committee heard and
approved the Minutes of the last
meeting1 and the. Trea$urer's Report.
The Committee heard WB6IQS relate
the details of the working party
which went to the repeater site on
Sun. , 9 April and changed antennas
and feed lines for the .73 machine1
and did tree trimming in front of
the 229 Club's antenna. Lack of
participation by the 229 Club was
reported and the Committee commented
on the $25 monthly rent that club is
paying. It was moved and approved
to purchase new channel elements for
KA6UAI/R if it is decided to move
that repeater back to 147.7351 to
expend up to $199 on Field DaY1 to
expend up to $399 to purchase a dual
port TNC for the new packet digipeater1
and to expend up to $199 for
materials for the antenna trailer.
It was a very smoooth meeting, but
it wasn't all peaches and cream - it
was strawberries and Dryers!

APRIL CLUB MEETING
At the April club meeting, the
minutes of the previous meeting and
the Trea$urer's report were read and
approved. WB6IQS reported that a
work party would convene at the
repeater site on 9 April. W9FQN
asked those using KA6UAI/R to reduce
power to that required and back off
on the audio as the SANDRA machine
on 147.751iJ mHz is being interfered
with by UAI users. Show and Tell
featured Ron Wilhelmy, WI6B, who
told us of the fearful time he and
his XYL Loreen, N6RAO, experienced
aboard UA Flight 811 which they were
aboard when a hole in the fuselage
opened just one row of seats behind
them! Don Tippit, N6TRS, showed us
a home brew 2M J antenna.
Ed Jankowski, W6KCB, President of~
Loronics Information Systems, introduced
PARC member Eric Barben,
KB6ZUH, who gave us a demonstration
of some of their efforts in the
field of security/identification and
a sophisticated ·shoppers' helperused
in super markets.
The newly-initiated FOR SALE table
was very successful (I sold my one
permitted item!).
The coffee and tasties were
courtesy of Mac, NB6EW, and all the
good guys who brought the no-cal
goodies. Attendance was 93 members
and guests.
THE CLUB'S POLICY REGARDING INTER­
FERENCE ON THE REPEATERS IS to
IGNORE IT! Don't give the jammer
what he or she craves - notice and
attention. Carryon your QSO or
sign off or move to Simplex, but do
NOT acknowledge the crazies. Try to
hear the interfering signal on the
input of the repeater and determine '-~
the direction of the source.
