The May meeting of the Lakehead Amateur Radio Club was opened by Pat Doherty - VE3HFS in lieu of the President who was ill. The usual round table ensued and Denny Wilkinson - VE3EUI explained that the tapes had not been aired over CBO yet. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The Legion Road Race will be held on May 23 starting at Branch 6 at 9:30 am. A Finn spokesman would be appreciated at Bay and Algoma Streets. Fred Robinson of CARF will be coming to the June meeting to give a talk on new regulations and licenses. It was also decided that if anyone was not happy with the new regulations that he/she should write to their Member of Parliament. Bill Unger - VE3EFC made a motion that Club members write their MP on behalf of the Club and the Club should advise the RSO and CARF that we have done so in regards to the new Technician (Class) License. Bill Boland - VE3BOR seconded the motion and it was then passed. Les Harris - VE3AYZ opposed the idea on the grounds that there was not sufficient information (available now). Pat Doherty - VE3HFS has decided to postpone the buying of a TH-3Jr at the cost of $95.00 to the Club until the treasury is built up.
