Quarter Century Wireless Association – Chapter 41 - Barney Moffatt Memorial - Dallas, Texas met on Saturday, 08 September 2012 at Midway Point Restaurant, 12801 Midway Road, Dallas, Texas 75244. There were 19 people who participated in this lunch meeting.

Val Erwin – W5PUT announced that the chapter charter has been modified to state that there are no chapter dues; however, current dues in Quarter Century Wireless Association national are required.

The chapter has a new website that is up and running at http://www.texasqcwa41.org/. Verify meeting dates on this new website.

Val Erwin – W5PUT – QCWA National Director will be at the QCWA 2012 Convention in Reno, Nevada.

Several members plan to attend the Belton Hamfest on the first Saturday of October. Therefore, it was agreed that Chapter 41 will meet on the second Saturday of October - this will be the 13th day of October 2012. 

Several awards were presented. See the attached photographs.

Steve Brodie – K5ZYZ resigned as chapter president following seven years in office. The distance that Steve drives to and from the chapter meetings and increasing cost of gasoline make it impractical for Steve to continue attending chapter meetings every month. He plans to participate three or four times a year.

Bob Olney – N5NT agreed to be chapter president (commander and chief) in the interim until somebody else agrees to assume responsibility for the office of chapter president. The most difficult task for the chapter president is storing and transporting the audio video equipment to each meeting.

Every person who received an award today is on a chapter committee to assist the chapter president. 

K5ZYZ (not W5ZYZ, but thanks for the upgrade)

Keith, Extremely great composition. Would you consider assisting Val in the updating and management of the new Chapter 41 website? I think that Val and the Chapter could benefit from your expertise in website sesign and management. Steve

Steve - sorry about the error in your call sign. I have corrected it.

I am thinking about helping with the new Chapter 41 website. I have never used GoDaddy, but it probably works similar to Weebly. Alcatel USA sent me to classes on html and css, and I learned how to write web pages using a text editor and entering all of the markup language manually. While I was writing a website for the field service engineers and serving as webmaster for the Alcatel Amateur Radio Association, I upgraded to using the HTML Editor from CoffeeCup software company. My next upgrade came when I began using Weebly. What time commitment is expected for work on the new chapter website?

Keith

Another correction – the next Chapter 41 meeting will be on the second Saturday of October – NOT April. The next QCWA Chapter 41 will be on Saturday, 13 October 2012. I revised my post to correct this. Thanks go to Val Erwin – W5PUT for pointing out this goof.
