Ice cream Social

The group discussed a new date for the Ice Cream Social and set August 8th as the new date. Bill Wiseman confirmed that we were welcome to have the event at his home and use his shelter. Official notification of time and directions will be forthcoming.

The group discussed progress of the plan to begin sponsoring and conducting Licenses  exams through the club. The general consensus was to proceed.  Charles Solomon is going to Columbia to set in on their exams as a refresher. Jane Plunkett is working on her VE exam. Ed Shelby is working on General Class and Bob Keeble is studying for Extra Class.

Bob reported that the hospital net is expanding with facilities checking in from around the state on 2 meters as well as 440. Bob also reported that emergency power outlets still are not installed at the Ham radio desk in the hospital.

Bill Wiseman mentioned he would like to have a watermelon cutting in the fall. The date is yet undetermined depending on the watermelons!
