Other Items:
1- Allan Avnet, AB6UB - received two e-mails reporting interference on the SOARA repeater, 147.645, by a Mexican repeater. Allan will e-mail Jim Kelly and have him contact either Fried Heyn, WA6WZO, ARRL Southwestern Division Director or Tuck Miller, K6ZEC, the ARRL Section Manager San Diego with his complaint as TASMA has no jurisdiction outside of Southern California.
2- Karl Pagel, N6BVU - Agenda items continued to the next meeting are not addressed at the subsequent meeting. These items need to have someone follow up on them and taken care of. Jim Fortney proposed a format for the minutes at a prior meeting that may address this problem.
