Committee Reports:

Coordination: In Joe KR3P's absence, Dave N3GPM read his comments. Time lapse in mail system
from PO Box to coordinator and that original documents not copies or Emails have to be sent to
the coordinator. On the matter of Certified Mail that was sent to N3PCQ and WB3AZL reference
the 444.425 and 147.345 MHz repeaters respectively. Both of these notices have gone unanswered

council.
