2. The Nixa Chamber of Commerce will issue the check for the Foundation Grant to the club at the Febuary 18th meeting of the CoC. All wishing to attend are welcome. RSVP is required and the dinner is $15 per person.
3. The 6m amplifier for the six meter repeater is still a work-in-progress. The control board for the repeater is being re-engineered to repupose the amp from continuous broadcast transmission to intermittent amateur transmission. This is not to lower the duty cycle, but is to change the way the control board monitors the status of the amplifier. We are awating final word on permission to a 220V circuit to power the amplifier at the six meter site.
