Discussion about donated Icom 7300 only making 1/2 power. Should we spend up to $300 to get it fixed. Suggestion to try a 30A power supply. Also see if we have a set of finals in the Shack.
Front door light has been replaced.
Discussion about replacing cameras and recorder. Our current system did not do a good job when somebody ran their car into the fence. It was suggested that Benett, Ralph, and John Q look into cost and quality of a new system supporting 8 cameras.

Director at Large: Barry KO4FBU
Barry recommends purchasing a high power autotuner for Station 3, perhaps a Mercury or a Palstar. Current manual tuner is hard for many of our users to operate and is very large.
Shed; we take up too much space. We need to schedule a cleanup day now that it is getting cooler. We should sort out our collection of antennas and parts then dispose of what we can’t use.
Shed condition; the County would not complain if we painted the roof with elastomeric paint to deal with the leaks. We shouldn’t count on them to do repairs for us.
