The meeting was well attended with 20 club members present, we were pleased to see Charlie VE3EHD out to the meeting from the Toronto ARES Group....Charlie informs us that he will be joining our ranks at the next meeting....welcome Charlie it will be nice to have you with the Scarborough Club.

The focus of the earlier part of the meeting was the final signing of the club bylaws by the executive. Copies of the club bylaws will be kept by the executive and a copy in the club safety deposit box along with a backup floppy disk.

Rod VE3SOY presented a project for the latter part of the meeting, assisted by Nick VE3EBC a demonstration was given on how to build a cheap 440 yagi. Materials were brought along so many club members could build their own yagi. Two models were produced a 3 Element at a cost of $4.80 and a 6 Element at a cost of $6.89

The design and construction techniques used for the yagis can be found online at: http://www.fredspinner.com/W0FMS/CheapYagi/vjbcy.html
