Meeting Minutes
August 29, 2004


Paul Gibson, N1TUP, called the meeting to order at 9:10 am.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted.

There was no formal treasurer?s report.

Paul updated the group on his encounter with NESMC at the
Boxboro Hamvention.  Paul informed those present that NESMC
had negotiated a 440-band plan with a military installation
in the Andover area and has expertise in these type negotiations.

James Delancy, 220-band coordinator, has been having trouble
getting a response from Metrocor.  Dana Underhill, the Frequency
Coordinator, suggests James give Metrocor another couple of
weeks to respond to his cross coordination requests before
giving temporary coordination to a current applicant.

Dana Underhill will request from the ARRL the database currently
used in the latest repeater directory.  This will be the list
from which all changes will be made going forward.

The group present then worked on updating the coordination
guidelines.  The meeting was adjourned at noon after numerous
changes.  The guidelines were not completed and the next working
session to complete v2 of the guidelines will be on Saturday
9/18/04 at 9am at the Southington Town Hall.

Respectfully submitted
John M. Ahle, W1JMA
Secretary
