ADAW Column for 2/15/2010
-----------------------
Congratulations to John K7JP who got the CARL "Ham of the Year" award for 540 volunteer hours at W7ASC. That does not count the extra hours he has put in as CARL secretary. Nine "Certificates of Appreciation" and ASC Memberships were awarded to volunteers with over 200 hours. An additional five memberships went to volunteers with 100 to 200 hours and ASC passes to five with 50 to 100 hours. We ended up with 51 active volunteers for 2009, a slight gain over 2008 but still short. (excuse me while I skip over a bunch of other statistics). Basically  we need volunteers!
Dave W7PMD gave a talk on Batteries and battery technology. It was very informative, especially on Lithium cells and their characteristics. Shack improvements are moving, although slowly as ASC is putting their full effort into the "Green" and solar displays. We are still on the list to get the Digital clocks installed and for a do-over on the mural. We now have the Yaesu FT990 working at the West station, but not remotely as the interface is no longer manufactured. Steve WB4ZSC is looking in to what we can do for a replacement. The meeting ended with Skip K7OAH winning the $50 HRO door prize and the ASC shirt. Went to Andrea KE7OPV.
The following CARL Board of Directors were nominated and approved by the members: John K7JP, Bob KG7QJ, Larry KC0JON, Ray KE7FUM, Dave W7PMD, Tom, AD7PM, Roger W9NCQ, and Jordon KC7CWX. The officers will be appointed by the Board at the next B.O.D. meeting.
