Glenn mentioned the Technician Class that Gaston County ARES is offering at the EOC on Tueday's.  A total of 15 students are attending at this time, including 5 youth.

The backup repeater has been on the air a few times for testing purposes.  There are still some adjustments to be made.  A suggestion was made to put the backup repeater on the air for a few hours each week so that it can get some use and burn in the crystals.  It was decided to use the backup repeater on Sunday's.

The mall is now charging a few to use the Community Room and advanced registration is not permitted.  There has been some problems with this process pending further discussion between Glenn and the Mall's Manager.  We will discuss this further at our next meeting.

Glenn wants to put the vocabulary for the DVR on our website.  Please look at the list and send your suggestions to the repeater committee.

Gaston County ARES and the GAARC will host a Field Day at Gaston College during the last weekend in June.

We need to get a banner for the club with our name on to use at events (Field Day, Swap Fest, etc...)  Cost will be around $84.00
