June Meeting: Field Day Planning, Exercise Hot Wash, Hands-On IC-706MkIIg

At the June 15 meeting of the Arlington Amateur Radio Club we'll finalize planning for Field Day 2004. In addition, we'll review our experience supporting the June 5 Arlington Prepares operation. Then we'll have an opportunity to try out the IC-706MkIIg that Dennis, W4PWF will bring. This will help us prepare to use the IC-706MkIIg in the ACPD Mobile Command Center.

Your Secretary apologizes for losing his manuscript Minutes of the May meeting. The following events were reconstructed from collective memory at the June meeting: The main items of business were an advance approval of expenditures up to $75.00 by George, KR4MU, for food for Field Day 2004, and an advance approval of expenditures by Treasurer Mike, KG4RKL, for shipping costs for FD2004 tee shirts and pins ordered for Members. There was also a request for help (information) from the Arlington Prepares representative.
