January 2019 meeting notes.
The meeting was conducted at Gloucester City Fire Headquarters and the President, George, WA2IHE presided.
Five members attended.
Needless to say, the Club finances are in good order and the Club is still solvent. The current balance on hand is $1891.41.
Discussion of the possible merger of the Gloucester Club and the Audubon Club continued and it was decided that such a merger would most likely not favor our club. The SNJ Section Manager, Tom, N2XW was requested to ask the ARRL about any policy or guidance the league could offer. The ARRL does not have any policy regarding club mergers.
The following GCARC officers were seated:
President: Goerge, WA2IHE
Vice President, Keith, W2ERP
Secretary, Jay KB2ADL (acting Treasurer)
Discussed the need for the testing of the 1KW linear amplifier and antenna matching unit.
Jim, K2REV began the effort to begin a Scout merit badge program. Also, he spoke with the owner of the Highland Tavern in Gloucester City regarding conducting a hamfest at that location. Date and vendor availability to be determined.
73, Jay, KB2ADL
================================================================
Some additional news:
In a discussion with Gloucester City Fire Chief Hagan it was learned that the Pine Grove Fire Company, Engine 52 is no longer in service. The ambulances housed at Pine Grove have moved to Gloucester Heights, Engine 54 which is also no longer in service.
The PAL building on Brown Street (home of NJ2GC) needs some minor fire safety updates prior to inspection in February 2019. This effort will be coordinated between the Club and City Public Works. However no action will be taken until after the first of the year when the new City administration takes over.
As for the communications command trailer, the move to Brown Street hopefully will take place after the first of year.
