FM ambulance will purchase a node an AREDN (AmateurRadio Emergency

nodes are between $42 to $500
The three nodes will have three investors. $2000 by FM
ambulance, $2000 the Marathon, and the final one the group asked the
club to contribute. We would invest $2000 for the third node

The Grandin repeater has been turned off. It has been causing
interference with the ILO repeater in Moorhead. The Grandin repeater
has been acting very well as a stand alone repeater. Grand Forks has
been able to access the repeater easily. Bob is getting a new exciter
and will be working on the repeater as he gets the parts
