Chester County Amateur Radio Club
Meeting Minutes
April 21, 2016

The meeting was called to order at 7:03 by President Richard Heismann.

The minutes were read and a Treasurer’s Report was given. We have been informed by the Chester County Clerk that we need to provide proof of ARES membership in order to get or keep our Emergency license plates. We now have ARES applications online that must be completed and submitted to Richard Heismann, the County ARES coordinator, who will give applicants an ARES Membership Card to present to the County Clerk.

It was asked that everyone take a look at the Club’s By-Laws and Constitution on our web site so that we can discuss any issues and take a vote to adopt them at our next meeting.

Field Day is on the last weekend in June if we decide to participate this year. More discussion at the next meeting.

The Huntsville, AL Hamfest will be in August for anyone wanting to go.

Joe Loucka talked about antennas and showed us how to match them to our radios. He demonstrated the striking difference not only antennas but how they were mounted could make.

We will have Ham Radio License testing on Saturday, May 21st.

Our next meeting on Thursday, May 19th.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 pm.
