The Treasurer gave a report of the treasury; the balance in the

officers for the next two-year term.  President, Paul Gibson, VP,

Dana Underhill, Frequency Coordinator had obtained the database
from the ARRL used in the last repeater directory.  All changes
will be made to this database for the annual submission due on
January 15, 2005.  Dana will update this database with all the
needed information to have an accurate accounting of all repeaters
in Connecticut.  The database will be in excel.

It was discussed and approved that the 2m SNP?s will be removed
from the upcoming repeater guide.  In addition any emitter not in
operation for the past two years will also be removed from the
database. It is the emitter owner?s responsibility to keep CSMA
apprised of its status. CSMA will not chase down emitter owners as
to the status of their emitters.

It was discussed and decided that temporary coordination will only
be made after the cross coordination process has been followed.
That process is outlined in the V2 document.

John Ahle will circulate the V2 document so it can be posted on
the website. John Spigel will update the forms on the website
complying to the v2 document.

The next meeting will be held in Southington on 12/5/2004 at 10am.

Respectfully submitted,

John M. Ahle
