• Meeting called to order at 7:30 PM
• The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
• Previously scheduled Smith Chart presentation (Hannu – KT5FI) cancelled due to illness. In its place, Jimmy (W5ZTX) and Dave (WD8RZA) provided an overview of their respective involvement in the recent Hurricane Harvey disaster. Jimmy spent time at both the Houston TranStar and NRG facilities, while Dave ran the Fort Bend EOC communications net. Very informative discussion by all regarding how KARS members could be better prepared, in terms of tools & processes, to participate in these types of efforts in the future.
• There was no August BOD meeting so there were no BOD Minutes to be shared.
• Four (4) new member applications: Ashley McMasters – KG5USL, Matt Dycus – KF5TCL, Robert Holder – KG5USJ, & Kevin Odom – KG5USG; unanimous approval by club membership on all applicants.
• Discussion re: KARS logo. Decision was made to stay with the current KARS logo and proceed with the use of hamthreads.com. The use of hamthreads.com will allow KARS members to purchase, at their convenience, various apparel items (shirts, caps, jackets, etc.) with the club logo at a reduced cost. Once the initial setup is confirmed the club membership will be notified.
