  • N9ATQ suggested the membership be notified of the event by website and e-mail, but should be advised that this is a site test not a competitive station.
  • Next Monday night will be a antenna preparation work at Rib Mountain.

 

 

New Business:

New Repeater Controller:

  • K9PT reported the new controller arrived.

  • Upon return, K9PT said he would like to burn the controller in on the 145.41 machine.

  • K9DB reported that he and K9PT attended the Marshfield Area Amateur Radio Society meeting on June 7th, to inform them of the details of the Brighton repeater project. They are very interested and have consented to let the RMRA use their endorsement for fund raising.
