Rob
noted that propagation was not as good this year
and
we had fewer operators.
From the past - Rob W8HAP received a QSL card and a letter from one of
the Field Day contacts. He is a collector of old QSL cards and kindly sent us a
W1TU 1948 QSL card from the station of Luke W. Dufresne.
Public Awareness- Dick W1KRP, Galen KB1NJC, et al expressed the need to keep
ham radio visible to the public. Dick has been very good about keeping ham
radio and the EAWA on public media. It
was expressed that there is a need for a public demo of ham radio like we used
to do at the Maine Coast Mall. There was no resolution to this issue.
Rob W8HAP made a motion to adjourn.
The motion was seconded by Chris AB1PZ. So done at 7:37 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Evie Sargent KA1BRA,
Treasurer/Secretary
