Secretaries Report: Minutes of the 10 th of January, 2025 meeting were presented and approved. There was no February meeting due to a problem with access to the meeting site.
Treasurer Report: As there hasn’t been a bank statement available for a while a motion was made to accept the lack of a Treasure’s Report for this month. Gary, WL7WU, reports that this is $1921.94 plus dues as they come in during the meeting as this is the month to renew memberships. Did you renew yet???
Sunshine Fund: There has been no change in the Sunshine Fund. Please keep Debbie, KA6GRL, advised if there is a need. Jerry Fuge, KC7ILH, has been in and out of the hospital with COPD over the past few months. Next time you see him wish him well! [note: as this is written, Jerry is back in the hospital at Mountain View in Las Vegas.
New member welcomed to the club: Ernest Peltz, KI7HQA.
Announcements / Discussion:
General discussion of annual official government renewals that are coming up. Most come directly to Jerry, N7HYV, our current President, or to the Post Office Box. State papers due in April, a notification of insurance was received
NOTICE: Regarding the post office box. It has come to my attention that while the PO Box was in arrears, mail was being returned to sender. Of course, I have no way of knowing what might have been returned, but hopefully mail in the above category was not returned. We don’t know at this point.
Again, confirming that Field Day will be held at the Pahrump EOC this year instead of the Pahrump Eye Park area. Details have yet to be worked out.
Responsibility for coordinating web site updates has been passed to Steve, KE7KHE, will assume coordination of web site updates. Thank you, Steve!
John Bigley, N7UR, has been appointed as our new Nevada Section Manager. Congratulations John! Perhaps he can team with a private pilot to help him visit all those Field Day Sites in June.
Need a couple of ham volunteers for the Silver State Challenge over the road race. This is basically a timed road rally.
Poker Run will be happening at the end of April.
The monthly ARES meeting will be held at the EOC the day after the club meeting and is usually the 3rd Saturday of each month. VE Testing usually follows that (by appointment only).

The Pahrump Ham Station is up and operating.
