The meeting was called to order by Pres Aimee KB4TCH. The Secretaries report was waived. The Treasures report was read and approved.

 

Aimee asked if there were any follow-up comments or suggestions for Field Day. James KQ4M suggested a review of station layouts to allow generator sharing next year and maybe cut down on fuel costs. Ingrid gave a short report on the food for FD. She indicated that the plan of per person charge for meals this year worked quite well and that we would break even for this year. A motion was made by Tom K1KY to establish a Field Day account in the Treasury for continuing years to allow funds to be ear-marked for that purpose. It was seconded by Ingrid KD4F and carried by the membership.

 

Keith N9DGK advised the club that he had been advised by the Chief that the rescue squad was being converted to Rutherford County Fire and Rescue as a county entity. He stated that he was not sure if they would stay in the building and if not we might have to move. A question was raised by Tom K1KY about donations from the VE team for use of the building. Keith N9DGK stated that he was not sure if a donation had been given lately. Tom K1KY recommended that a motion be made to donate $200 for use of the building. Keith N9DGK made the motion. It was seconded by Steven KI4OGD and carried by the membership.

 

Filbert K4MCD announced that he has several auxiliary power supplies that he has reconditioned and they are for sale for $40 per unit. You can contact Filbert at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 

Tom K1KY gave a short demonstration on checking air filters and fuel caps for generators to insure proper operation.

 

Aimee KB4TCH announced that the club would be sponsoring a fox hunt. The date will be July 31, 2010. We will meet for breakfast at the Rocking Chair Restaurant 208 Jefferson Pike in the Gillsville Shopping Center and the fox hunt will follow at Sharp Springs Park.

 

The August 5, 2010 meeting will be a show and tell so bring your portable gear, favorite home station gear or pictures or a favorite “homebrew project” and enjoy the evening.

 

Aimee KB4TCH also asked  if there was any interest in an antenna building session. Suggestions were for either a roll up J-Pole or HF dipole.

 

There being no further business a motion was made by Virginia KG4JSR to adjourn and seconded by Ingrid KD4F. The motion was carried.

This year Field Day 2010 will be held at the Sharp Springs Park in Smyrna, TN., 100 Espy DR in Smyrna. The dates are June 26 and 27, 2010. 

The meeting of Thursday June 3, 2010 at 7:00 PM has been moved to Saturday June 5, 2010 at 10:00 AM at the Field Day site to give everyone the opportunity to come visit the site and help with deciding the setup for it this year. I hope that all of you can come help us make this the best year yet. 

Normally we begin setting up on Friday after 1:00 PM on Field Day weekend. This year we will have to start later at 5:00 PM. It may push us a little bit in getting ready but I am confident that SRARC is up to the challenge. Below are directions to the park. I hope to see you all there. Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or concerns.

Directions to the park from Murfreesboro: Take 24 to Sam Ridley and head West. Follow Sam Ridley to Weakley Lane and turn left, go to Swan Dr. and turn right. Follow Swan Dr. all the way down, it will curve to the left and become Espy Dr. Continue on Espy Dr. and the park entrance will be on the right.

73,

Aimee Burns
