General Discussion: 
There was more discussion about the HARC Membership Directory. The Board recommended that all current and past members should be included, as well as other hams from the local geographical area.  

Monday Night 2 Meter Net 
Beginning in 2011, the scheduled Net time conflicts with general membership meetings.  The Net will remain on Monday nights.
The Board recommends continuing the “loss of repeater” drills during randomly-selected Nets.  

Great Lakeshore Super Swap
If HARC is to sponsor a Swap in 2011, a Chairman and Committee must be identified not later than the March General Membership Meeting.  In other words, No Committee = No Swap.  Board Members cannot Chair any other committee.
