Discussing things with the Chairman this morning he felt we ought make
some comment about last night's somewhat robust meeting, especially
since we had an ex-member from 5 years ago there who must have wondered,
what on earth had happened.
There has been strong and divided opinion by a couple of members about
the value of the Steppir to the club. Whilst it has been used several
times in the past, over the last couple of years the club has moved more
toward contesting and it has been pretty much unused. One thought had
been to sell it and use the proceeds to fund a dedicated HF contest rig
(a Kenwood TS-590s). Last night the Chairman had the difficult and
unpleasant task of trying to remove the emotion from the discussion and
bring the matter to the club members. He did an excellent job and the
club voted to:
Keep the Steppir to allow for the possibility that the club may, in the
future, do more special event and JOTA/TDOTA stations where it would be
useful
woo hoo must have been a good bounce up!!!!...whats a steppir?
robust=bounce up...tee hee..love it....hate clubs......
