Minutes
The minutes of the previous General Meeting (03 May 1999) were read and accepted
[6UU/6HAO].Taits:
At present, 6CSW has 10 working Taits, and 7 non-working. The latter are in need of Audio IC's, that are available in Perth for $6.10 each. After some discussion, it was agreed that the non-working units, be held in reserve for spare parts, and that the Audio IC's therefore not be purchased.Concerning the EPROM boards, there appeared to have been a change of emphasis, in that 6TRC and 6CSW were talking about 6NT duplicating the diode-matrix boards, including banks of DIP-switches for selection.
6RAV:
Ongoing. 6TRC reported that he had heard 6CA on 6RAV, saying that the machine was performing ok recently.6CSW has built a linking interface, which was passed to 6UU.
6RTH:
6TRC and 6ZSE had been to the site, and added water to the batteries, but 6TRC said that more water was required for them to be fully topped-up.The replacement of the main antenna, with a dual-bander, was discussed.

6TRC reported that he had sent letters to the following organisations, requesting access to their sites:Allcom Victoria Park
Boral Orange Grove
Heratage FM Martin
RAC Lesmurdie
Channel Ten TV Lesmurdie
Water Corporation Various
The first two had responded positively (see below).

6CSW reported that the net was running well.6RLM:
There was comment that the 6WIA callbacks on the 29 MHz gateway on the previous
day, taken by 6CSW, were very successful.Block of Land:
6HAO reported that his enquiries had been hampered by a territorial dispute between real-estate agents (or some such), but that he was continuing his efforts.General:
6LZ was actioned to obtain a quote on moving the "big box" from the QTH of 6KRB
to Roleystone, or some other agreed home for it.6RVP:
6TRC reported on his progress on building and installing a new repeater at the
Victoria Park site in the lift-housing at the top of an 8-storey building.
It was suggested that the callsign should be 6ROB!10m:
There was much discussion, led by 6UU, concerning 10m packet at Roleystone, 10m
repeaters, diversity reception, and split-site 10m repeaters.6UU wanted it noted that his FT-757 transceiver, which is currently being used
for the 10m gateway, is available for purchase by WARG, as a "quick and easy"
method of providing continuity of service when the gateway is moved to another site.Antennae:
A motion was passed [6LD/6HAO] that another dual-band antenna be purchased by
6TRC, for use at 6RVP.Notes Taken By John VK6NT
