A meeting was held this morning to discuss options for remodeling the Coos County Radio Club trailer.
Various ideas were considered, including whether the club should pursue various grant sources to finance some of the work.
Ultimately, the group agreed that developing a portable shack for club use would benefit members in a range of ways.
The consensus was that CCRC needs to increase Amateur Radio public awareness by attending various events around the county.
Public events might include Independence Day Celebrations, the County Fair and Cranberry Fest. The trailer will also serve as a base for supporting concerns that operate the Tour de Fronds, Prefontaine, Circle the Bay and Pink Ribbon runs.
Of course having a fully ready club trailer will make hosting Field Day’s much easier.
Getting the trailer ready to show with new graphics and the gear we already own is an opportunity to make Amateur Radio more accessible to our communities and grow membership.
More information will be coming soon.
Work parties will be arranged on weekends, starting with removing unwanted structure and installing insulation.
Members that assist will learn about power, grounding, antennas and radios.
Soon members will discuss the layout and floor plans to host features.
Looking forward, there will be another report at the club meeting next month.
The overall vision is to plan well, start simple and spend wisely. CCRC can continue to work on building out a great club trailer as time passes, adding features in the future as interests and funding permit.
Those in attendance were N6BLU, KF7RSF, W7JAW, KK7WXV, AK6JG and K7YMM
