The regular meeting of the KSUARC was called to order by Kurt Zoglmann, KBØTMQ at 7:00 P.M.
The club, and this writer, deeply regret the news that our former adviser, Dr. Bill Dawes, WØIPV, passed away on March 15. This writer was club president while Bill was adviser, and he will be remembered as a fine man whose enthusiasm, humor, professional ability and genuine concern for students were always admired and appreciated. Instead of flowers, club members and any local amateurs may contribute to a fund (being collected by Norm Dillman) to purchase amateur radio books for local libraries in his memory.
Email from Chris Casey, NØVRP indicates that he has swapped parts in our now-legendary packet/Internet project computer(s). The computer now works, and he believes that it will no longer crash.
Bill Kuhn, KO4MH reported that equipment of a local amateur is being sold. One item of possible interest is a 2m amplifier (10W in, 160 W out), with power supply, for about $175 to $200. No action was taken.
A motion was made and passed to buy the Yaesu thrust bearing for about $67.
Well, you can't have a thrust bearing without a mounting plate. A motion was made and passed to purchase a mounting plate for up to $100, but we assume it will cost much less.
The three of us in attendance went QRT at approximately 8:30 P.M., quite proud of ourselves for not squandering all of the club's funds when most of our distinguished members weren't looking.
David Yoder, KAØJPM
secretary-treasurer
