A Big Welcome back to Mark ( WB9WRT ).
John ( NZ9Z ) brought to the clubs attention that a few members were not getting e-mails of the minutes. Anyone who isn’t getting e-mails should be sure to inform Carl ( KA9WYK ) of changes. Call sign changes, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses etc. John also mentioned that the Cobia QSL cards are running low, that there are thoughts to stay with or change the Cobia vanity call sign. The current N9BQV commemorates the sub’s original call of NBQV. He said that while N9BQV does that, it is not distinctive/unusual like going with a 2X2 such as NB9QV would. Other ideas are W9SUB, N9SUB, etc.
