| Secretary Greene reported that the FCC-required license information has been updated and posted on Laurel Mt. 2/24. Mr. Woodworth continues his efforts to improve the interference cancellation on the KMZT antenna. He decided that it was too cold and windy 2/24 to do much work. | |||

| C. | Old business | ||
| 1. | President Middlemiss reported having made contact with Mr. Tipler about the translator donation offer and that the translators will be obtained Real Soon Now. Transferring the licenses for 92.1 MHz will be simpler than the 100.9 MHz license. | ||
| D. | New business | ||
| 1. | Secretary Greene inquired if any substantial expenses or capital outlay is foreseen and if budget action has to be taken for these. The alterations to the B Mountain translators is the only substantial activity in the near future. It was stated that the traditional practice is to treat required expenditures (i.e., FCC-mandated) as being normal operating/maintenance expenses and not taking formal action on them. A limit of $1000 was considered to be the (informal) threshold cost before formal action is needed for an expenditure. | ||
