E-bay Sales
- John K4CJN reported that E-bay sales for the club will be ramping back up soon. He only has a few items left at home, some of which need repair before selling. He will be taking magazines and other items from the club station a little at a time and putting them on E-bay in an effort to give us more space in the club station.

Marshall K4UKB has repaired the club generator and it is now stored at the QTH of Chris KG4UQL. - Discussion on a possible WRARC ham fest continues with a tentative start date of spring 2011. Marshall K4UKB reports the Cattlemen’s Association would be interested with the possibility of providing food. Marshall K4UKB and Chris KG4UQL have checked with the fairground and it looks like a good option to pursue. Still a lot of research to be done, stay tuned...
