The floor was then opened to old business. The SPARC two meter net is up to 1944 nets leaving a little over a year to go to hit the 2000 mark. The 440 net is doing fine. Ten meters is not ideal for the SPARC HF net, 40 meters would be better. 
 
Field Day preparation discussions included; how do we set up Rick's antenna in light if the missing sign post, Art Masker mentioned installing a new ground rod and offered to bring his gas grill, Rick discussed his equipment and Dave is taking care of the food and the club's grill.
