anything, be sure it is listed with Dave or any of the club officers.  TNX

Saturday Net.  The E.O.C. net at 9:00AM each Sat. morning is still up and going
although the check ins have been slow the last few weeks.  If you have any
suggestions for the net or its implementation, be sure to let us know.

Ham Holiday club table of CARC was discussed also but no consensous was made
specifically.

CARC Emergency Coordinator:  Bill Crossland N9SQV has stepped down from that
position temporarily due to time constraints.  He made the recommendation the
Richard KA5ALO step in to cover that at least for a while.  Thank you Bill for
the FB job you did as the Club Emerg. Coordinator.
