Fellow ATVers:
'Tis the month of August, and it is HOT! Our meeting this month will revert to CORD as our faithful
Secretary/Treasurer is back in town.
We have a couple of items to discuss, so please plan to attend.
We still have a little work to do on the repeater. Horace 
(W5TAH) and I plan to remove
the transmitter, and do the required mod on a mic circuit off site. We also
plan to measure, and adjust if necessary, the sound subcarrier frequency, but
this will have to wait until I get a new frequency counter from
Optoelectronics. This little
operation, can, with a little pre-planning, be done on site. It has been
suggested that we do the mic work as the program for the August meeting, as
some members might appreciate seeing some of our hardware.
See you Thursday, August 15th.
Board at 7:00pm and members at 7:30 pm.
Your Pres,
John N5XAK
Waco Amateur Television Society
(WATS)

The motion was seconded by Norris Martin and approved unanimously.
Norris
Martin made a motion for approval of the Treasurer’s Report as published in the
WATS newsletter. Second to the motion was made by Bushnell and approval was
unanimous.
A
discussion was held regarding our participation in Field Day 2002 activities.
President Gafford presented the invoice he received from DuPuy Oxygen, in the
amount of $56.51 for reimbursement, previously approved.
New
business:
Subsequent
to the June meeting of the Board, Bushnell polled the members of the Board by
e-mail to see if they were agreeable with his proposal to purchase a Intuitive
Circuits DTMF-8 Controller Board and to repair the ATV Repeater Controller. A
majority replied in the affirmative.
Bushnell
reported having purchased the Controller Board and having rebuilt the
Controller. It has been installed in the repeater with the help of John
Gafford. Bushnell presented the Invoice he received, in the amount of $119.00
and moved for reimbursement Motion for reimbursement was seconded by Norris

Minutes of the Meeting of Members
Thursday, July 18, 2002
The
WATS Meeting of Members was held at Texas State Technical Institute. The
meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM. Present were:
|
·
John Gafford, President ·
David Bush ·
Horace Bushnell |
·
Norris Martin ·
Mike Ross ·
Justin Martin (visitor) |
President
Gafford reviewed Board actions for benefit of others in attendance.
Norris
Martin moved approval of Minutes of the previous meeting of members. Second was
by Mike Ross and motion was approved unanimously.
A
brief discussion was held concerning publishing of the WATS newsletter on the
web page. The discussion began with a statement, by Bushnell, that the whole
world does not need to know every detail of what takes place in WATS meetings.
The Minutes of our meetings should be confined to the WATS records books. Secondly, the fact that a document will
appear on the World Wide Web is enough to discourage an amateur writer from
making a presentation for publication. President Gafford suggested a solution
might be in sending WATS Happenings to members via e-mail, without putting it
on the web page at all. Bushnell
then suggested the Directors discuss this matter at a future Board meeting.
Meeting
was adjourned at 7:45 PM for a very interesting demonstration by David Bush of
several different types of yagi antennas cut for ATV frequencies.
