      Test is in progress, should complete 31 May 2005. Matt has noted that due to its location, the coverage of the repeater is extensive and may later recommend a reduction in power. Will review later or at the end of the test.

   7. 146.160 N6WIK Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach, Laguna Nigel – Follow-up on Final Coordination Review. Gary Bakuri (KI6DB) attended the meeting representing this coordination request. After discussion, several problems were noted with this RFC including:
      1. RFC appears to cover three (3) repeaters at different but close locations at the same frequency and PL,
      2. Two of the three repeaters have not, and cannot, be heard to assure that there are actually on the air,
      3. It is not clear who will actually be the trustee of each repeater and responsible for its technical operation.
      After discussions the Committee requested that Gary, KI6DB resolve the issues and submit updated RFC(s). Review deferred to next meeting.
5. Confirm Final Coordination: None at this time.

6. Interference Complaints: None at this time.

      After discussion a motion was made to accept updated information except with a tone of 103.5. A test period concident with the other recent coordination on this frequency (K6MKW) was established extending to 31 May 2005.
