Meeting called to order at 7:30 pm. Previous 2-6-20 meeting minutes were read as there was not a meeting in March. Jimmy moved to accept as amended, second by Otto. Motion passed.

Treasurer’s Report: Dave reported a balance of $437.05 with no activity since the last meeting. Bryan moved and Luci seconded to approve the Treasurer’s report. Motion passed.

Public Relations: Nothing to report

Points of Interest: Jimmy noted that the Belton Hamfest is March 13 and 14.

Old Business: Hurshel reported on the presentation last month to the LDS church you group on March 4th. There were 13 in attendance and there was lots of interest. Dave, Jimmy, and Lucy also participated in the presentation. Bryan reported that there was no update on moving the repeater to the new SO tower by scenic overlook. Project is behind schedule as SO is having to seek additional frequencies before they can order new repeaters and continue moving antennas to new towers. We are still in consideration.

New Business: Hurshel noted that Travis and Austin are ready to test for General whenever we can meet again. Jimmy stated that the Texas Water Safari has been postponed until September 12-16. Our repeater is now listed in the Texas VHF Society database and it will need to be redone in January.

Otto moved to adjourn, second by Jimmy. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 pm.
