with one extra activity point.
Since we have temporarily moved to
the Carlsbad Theatre we have been having
problems knowing who brought
goodies to eat. If we missed you, please
let us know ASAP.
Goodie Table
We are still looking for someone or
some group of members that would be
willing to work at the "Goodie Table"
each meeting night.
If several members took on the responsibility,
you could serve every second
meeting or third meeting and it
would be less of a burden to all. If you
can help, contact our president N2DCA
or any Baord member. See pg 3. (Didnot
receive goodie "list" for July-Ed)
September Picnic
The club's annual Picnic will be
Sunday, September 24th at Dixon Lake
at the north end ofEscondido.
At past picnics we have had antenna
testing, frequency testing, packet
demonstrations, GPS. demos, hidden
transmitter instruction and hunts, autopatch
instruction, etc.
If you have any suggestions for the
picnic, please contact Board Member
Marsh Parker, W&S'AX, ASAP (see page
3 -Ed).
The club picnic is an excellent time
to meet with other club members and to
learn from others.

W6NWG QSL cards to Merle.
A schematic of a vidoe monitoring system,
created by John - WB6IQS, was presented
to the board.
Stan reported on the Work Party held
on July 9 at the repeater site. He was very
pleased with the amount that was accomplished.
Stan presented the latest version ofthe
220 Club agreement. The electrical usage
was also discussed. Changes to the agreement
were discussed to allow us to increase
prices due to increased electrical usage.
Stan requested that board members submit
changes to the agreement so we can finish
it by next month.
Scope deadline is July 21.
The topic ofthe next general meeting is
not known. As soon as possible, we need a
reminder from Charlie of what it is going
to be. Stan needs it so it can be announced
in the Scope.
SCRBBA wants us to move our UHF
repeater to 447.00 from the current frequency.
A motion was made and approved
to buy the crystals for the move.
Stan reported on the injury to John,
WB6IQS at the repeater site at the end of
the work day. The injury was apparently
caused by a crushing or pinching due to the
stairs being raised in the sunken building.
His finger was caught between the stairs
and a metal ledge on the edge ofthe table.
Stan said that the design would be modified
to eliminate the crushing hazard.
The "Taco Wagon" needs to be destroyed.
We need volunteers to help cut
the frame up and tear the wood parts off
the frame. We will try to salvage useful
parts from the wagon.
SSTV use of449.420 was discussed. A
motion was made and approved to allow
this testing to be done. Other suggestions
were that testing should also be done on
146.075, and 146.70, and that we could set
up a "Video Net".
A motion was made and approved to
attach the tower to the end of the cargo
container, so that it would fold down with
the top of the tower at the entrance to the "­
container. A club station is to be set up in
the trailer by the container.
