Please note: We will be meeting one week earlier than usual, due to the Christmas holiday.

Joe Pajor, KBØKFH, has lined up another great program for us for our last meeting of the year. It will be of general interest in connection with the Christmas season.

We need to elect officers for 2020 since we didn’t have time to do that at the October meeting. All offices are open for nominations: President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer.

We hope to see you there. As always, you are welcome to bring your spouse or another friend.

Minutes: August 27, 2019

President Harold Childress, WBØLFH, called the meeting to order at 1845.

Joseph T. Pajor, KBØKFH, introduced Scott Knebel, planning manager at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Department.

Scott presented an interesting program titled “Presentation on Wireless Master Plan.” He told us that most cell phone cell sites in residential areas are located on city rights of way. Cities can’t require a cell site to be justified and that a lot of them are built by companies who sell tower space to various cell phone providers. Sites can use galvanized steel towers or poles to support antennas.

The minutes of the June 25th meeting and treasurer’s report were approved as printed and e-mailed. Motion by Jerry Kahn, ACØRL, second by Joe Pajor.

President Childress said that we need nominees for all chapter offices, President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer, for election at the October meeting.

There was a discussion about our chapter having a table at the Hutchinson and Wichita hamfests. Bryon Cannon, KAØIIU, will check the national QCWA web site to see what is available in the way of handout pamphlets, etc.

Meeting was adjourned at 1958.
