Our April 15 Meeting will be 6:30 pm at Newton County Law Enforcement Center, Alcovy Road (1/4-Mile NE of GA Hwy 142) ῼ Newton County Radio Club Officers President: Ronnie Pittman KK4CDB (678) <kk4cdb@arrl.net> Vice-President: John Nix N5EEO (770) <ednix@bellsouth.net> Treasurer: Brian Fain KI4JIL (678) <ki4jil@gmail.com> Secretary/News: Delbert Davis W4DEL (404) <w4del@arrl.net> Trustee/AEC NCARES: Jim Marston K4DOI (404) <k4doi@arrl.net> EC NCARES/RACES, DEC Salvation Army, Net Mgr GA Traffic Net, NC Skywarn Coord.

Twelve NCRC members and four visitors attended. Ed Hoard KK4GNH led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. A MOTION (Dan Darsey W4DED) was SECONDED (Gary Chambers K4MDC) and PASSED to authorize Club Treasurer Brian Fain KI4JIL (along with Club Trustee Jim Marston K4DOI if a second Club officer is required) to open an account at Community & Southern Bank. Club Secretary Delbert Davis W4DEL will provide Brian KI4JIL with supporting documents, including current copies of the Club Constitution and By-Laws; and a copy of this meeting s minutes. Brian KI4JIL will provide the Club s Employee Identification Number (EIN). Jim Marston K4DOI presented a patch sample of the RACES Logo, and requested that the Club pass a motion to have the logo engraved on club member s shirts. He showed a shirt example and held the patch against the shirt as a visual aid for the group to decide where to engrave the logo. A MOTION (Cliff Prosser K4HCP) was SECONDED (Mike Crowe AJ4GU) and PASSED to have > Above: Gary Chambers K4MDC and Jim Marston K4DOI check HF antenna connections during the workday at Covington/Newton 911 Center on March 17.

The cost will be $7.25 per shirt/logo, to be paid by shirt owners. Members should contact Jim K4DOI to have their shirt(s) engraved. Ronnie KK4CDB reminded everyone that Club dues should be paid by the May meeting; that Club membership runs from May to May. It was previously reported in error that March was the deadline. At that time, Gary K4MDC announced there would be no program at the night s meeting because David Rudd AI4JI was, unfortunately, tied up in a work-related emergency. David had planned to present a program on 2M and 440 Mhz Antennas. Although disappointed, everyone understood the situation and recognized that those things do happen. Gary said he s sure David will be more than happy to reschedule (Update: The program IS rescheduled for our July 15 meeting). AEC Jim Marston K4DOI reported for ARES because EC Charles Davis WA4UJC could not attend. Jim - also 2014 Cheerios Challenge Coordinator and Net Control Operator for the event - said an had been sent out that included maps and radio assignment locations. Charles WA4UJC will make individual ham radio operator assignments specific to those locations. Gary K4MDC - Assistant Net Control Operator for the event - will distribute that information in time for everyone to locate their assigned positions in advance. The Cheerios Challenge is being held on Saturday, April 19. Jim reminded participants to make sure their HT batteries are fully charged and warned operators to be prepared to switch to simplex operation in case there s a problem with the repeater. Gary K4MDC & Jim K4DOI also reported on the recent workday at the 911 Center station. On HF, we still have high SWR that changes for the better when the wire antenna is dropped below the tops of the surrounding buildings. We intend to experiment with some different antenna designs. There s also a problem with the HF rig that causes a carrier to be transmitted on SSB when the PTT is pressed with no audio input (like it should NOT do); but doesn t transmit a carrier on AM when the PTT is pressed and there is no audio input (like it SHOULD do). Mike AJ4GU pointed out that we still need to get an operational VHF/UHF station for the 911 Center station. Vickie Henry KK4VUG asked about progress in planning for the upcoming NCRC Hamfest that had been announced for July 26. Ronnie KK4CDB had checked on a couple of locations with no success in securing one. After some discussion, Brian KI4JIL suggested that we let him contact Berry s Christmas Tree Farm about having it there. We wouldn t have a climate-controlled building, but there s plenty of room with two covered buildings, ample parking, and it s conveniently located near I-20 in Newton County. He said the owner may also be willing to provide food vendor service for the Hamfest. A MOTION (Del W4DEL) was SECONDED (Gary K4MDC) and PASSED to designate Vickie KK4VUG as Hamfest Coordinator. Vickie KK4VUG will organize a Hamfest Planning Committee and Brian KI4JIL will confirm the location availability. Vickie KK4VUG will also confer with Kroger management in Covington about permission to set up a booth there, toward the end of June, to promote our Hamfest. Del W4DEL and Gary K4MDC suggested that those in attendance read an article in the April edition of QST about a VHF Simplex Sprint contest, with an eye toward holding such an event in Newton County. First Door Prize a Millennium Pocket Knife was donated by Jim Fletcher K4SEU. That prize was won by Ronnie KK4CDB. Second Door Prize a Logitech Portable Notebook Stand with Integrated Keyboard was donated by Del W4DEL. That prize was won by Gigi Hoard, wife of Ed Hoard KK4GNH. Third Door Prize an oil-filled Dummy Load - was donated by Ken May KU4ZY. That prize was won by Del W4DEL. ῼ Below: Charles Davis WA4UJC organizes cable routing at the rear of the 911 Center HF station. Ω Page 2 of 5
