New Business

 

The FCC has proposed that the Code requirement be eliminated for the General Class license.  The proposal is presented to the public and the public has a chance to respond.  Then a ruling will be made in about 60 days.  The Code will still be required for the Extra Class.

 

The 9434 repeater will be worked on this weekend.  There was some RF leakage, but will be repaired.  It is anticipated that it should be back in business in a couple of weeks.
