o       Green Country Ham Fest – report from John Harwell.  RCWA thanked publicly.  Better than average attendance and vendors did well. The 2008 GCHF will be at same time and place.  In 2009 may be later or difference venue.  Need better control over getting volunteers for carts, especially for later hours.  Some question on accountability of $ brought by the fest.  John will see we get a financial report when published.

o       Repeater report: Cal says problems due to equipment of unknown origin (exciter not connected to power amp, etc.).   Dale had complaint about communication cutting off and apparent crosswalk with public radio.  70cm works though not used often.  Cannot crosslink anymore because current controller does not have capability (too old).
