LAST CLUB MEETING
The April 1st program
was a lecture on feedlines,
antennas, and circuits by
our club VP, Art-KC6UQH. He
was assisted by John-WB6IQS
showing sample coax and how
not to solder coax connectors;
Dave-KD6EBY from Palomar
Mt. showing voltage and
curent nodes on various
antennas using a 20w
transmitter, a neon bulb,
and a current loop (#49
blub); and Larry-KC6PEN
(just turned Extra!!) showing
some circuit boards
along with comments on good
and bad soldering. A good
time was had by all even if
it was raining ••and
Escondido had 4' (yes K6HAV,
4 feet) of water.
Dennis-N6KI again had a
table of ~ hard to get
items with 10% going to the
ciub. If you have something
for sale, bring it in with
your call and asking price.
Dennis for SHOW and TELL had
a prop pitch motor which is
going to be used to turn his
house (with beam attached).
Attendance was 96 with
81 members and 15 guests.
With several of our
PARC members in Japan, it
was nice having a visitor
from Kobe, Japan, Kazutoshi
Anpo. He is staying with
Larry-KC6PEN and his wife,
Kay, in Oceanside.
Art-KB6YHZ, Larry-KC6­
PEN and Kay, again
supervised the drink and
goodie table and Kay also
brought in some delicious
rice cakes. Barbara-KD6ECD,
from Palomar Mountain, again
brought in goodies. Others
bringing in items were
KC6ECD,
KC6WAN
N6QVW, KC6QBD, and
with REAL COOKIES
this time. The goodie table
always needs goodies so
consider bringing something
next meeting. If you don't,
who will?
Missed recognizing
Grant-W60DU, Vic-N60YG,
Mark-KC6ZRV, Larry-KC6PEN,
and Ralph-KC6WAN for bringing
in goodies for the April
meeting although we wonder
why Ralph brought in only a
box of cookie mix. Probably
because of the pretty
pictures of cookies on the
outside of the box.
the struc:turing of the
c:lub's existing
Constitution and By­
Laws, he volunteered
his legal skills to
researc:h the problem,
determine a possible
solution, and make
rec:ommendations to the
appropriate people.
This meant gOing to a
law library, reading
many, many pages of
very dry legalese, and
writing a draft set of
by-laws whic:h would put
the c:lub in c:omplianc:e
with the state
c:orporation laws as
they apply to c:lubs
suc:h as ours. The
resultant draft by-laws
will be proc:essed as
explained elsewhere in
this newsletter.
Suffic:e to say that all
of the 500 plus members
of PARe owe Jac:k a debt
of gratitude for his
efforts of our behalf.
