Chester County Amateur Radio Club
Meeting Minutes
May 19, 2016

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 by President Richard Heismann.

The minutes were read and a Treasurer’s Report was given.

A motion was made and seconded to accept the revised club by-laws and constitution. A vote was taken and the motion passed.

Since we had formally accepted the By-laws and Constitution Sue Loucka made a motion to elect officers and begin collecting dues. The motion was seconded and passed by vote. It was also decided that we would keep the current officers for the next year.

We decided not to participate in Field Day as a club but members were made aware that if they would like to observe Field Day operations the Jackson club would be operating at the EOC at the airport in Jackson.

Joe gave an interesting presentation on diodes. He explained about the different kinds of diodes, how they worked and why and where to use them. He passed out several examples of different diodes and showed us how to measure them and showed us on an oscilloscope the effect they have on sine waves.

Dick Heismann did a quick show and tell with his nifty little gadget, a component tester.

Our next meeting will be on June 16^th with a presentation on capacitors.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:18 pm.
