May 21, 2015 Meeting Minutes

Five members in attendance: Kirk Crawford KG6MTE, Donald Hall KK6DCX, Ryan Noguchi AI6DO, Phil Martzen KK6PSA, and Teresa Moore AG6OD

Discussed putting a current club inventory and a list of things that can be checked out by members on the web site. Ryan will work with Joe to categorize the D8 shack, including creating a block diagram of how everything is connected and directions on how to use various equipment.

Field Day: 1800 UTC Saturday to 2059 UTC Sunday = 11 am Saturday through 3 pm Sunday

We will use the trailer as a base again this year, and park it at VC1. This year’s goal is to stay longer and make more contacts than we did last year. Don will be our publicity chair and contact the Orbiter and or Aerospace photographer to cover the event, as well as consider external media and inviting distinguished guests. Ryan will bring over equipment from the D8 shack. Kirk and Teresa will work on logistics, including loading the trailer, bringing over equipment from the A2 shack (easy up, banner, antennas, etc.), moving the radios in the trailer so that they are far enough apart that a different person could work each station, coordinating signups, and getting folding tables and chairs for the event. Kirk will coordinate getting the trailer moved after 11 am on Friday.
