Treasurer's report - see Bryce Hunsaker(VE7HNS) for details   

Old Business - No word yet from BC Tel of an available tower for us.

New Business - Must be more agressive in collecting Dues. Many people who 
               seem to call NRC their home club haven't paid their part in 
               keeping the club going.
 
             - Terry(VE7UP) offered to buy NRC's wood for $200. This wood 
               was donated a few years ago to build a building up on 
               Sinkut mountain to house our repeater. We didn't need it 
               when we were able to move into the school board's building
   
               Perry(VE7THI) motioned that we accept Terry's offer     
               Steve(VE7SWA) seconded the motion

             - The link from our repeater(VE7RSM) to Prince George and 
               Quesnel is now working again.          
               561*  on  
               560*  off

             - Macenzie has a new repeater - 146.820 -600


             - We have sort of been volunteered to provide security at a 
               bluegrass festival next summer. It will pay about $1000
   
           
             - Suggestion was made to transmit morse code after checkin 
               on sunday night. 
  
Terry told us of a voter system - A new type of repeater system which 
links up a number of receiver ports with one transmitter on a 
transmitter site. Prince George is working on such a system, when done 
146.94 will then transmit on a 500 watt transmitter.

The next meeting will be on October 17th, 1996 at the Firehall at 730PM
