Treasurer



The Treasurer then, as part of his annual report, noted that through
limited contributions to DXpeditions and minimal expenditures, financial
assets had been maintained at the level provided by the donation to the
Club by the Estate of David Hammond, WC4B. The Treasurer further noted that
additional income, produced by, among sources, new Members, would be
required if increased support to DXpeditions were to be provided.



The President then called on John Kanode, N4MM, for a report on ARRL
activities. John reported that things were relatively stable on the DX
front. Recent meetings by the ARRL Board had resulted in minimal impacts on
DX matters. The President thanked John for his report.



The President then noted that Fred Laun, K3ZO, was not available for a
report regarding the W3 Bureau report.



The President then turned to the matter of annual election of Officers. The
President then addressed the Membership regarding his continued service as
President. He indicated that many personal and professional issues had kept
him from participating at the level he would wish. Further, he anticipated
that this circumstance would not change for the next several years.
Nonetheless, he would accept a nomination to continue his service, unless
another candidate for President wished to be considered. In that case he
would defer and hoped to be reconsidered as a candidate at some in the
future.



The President then called upon the Chairman of the Nominating Committee,
Ben Baddley, W4FQT, to give his report. Ben reported that there was a
Member, Dave Collingham, K3LP, who had expressed a willingness to be a
candidate for President. Deeming David to be a fully qualified candidate
for President, Ben reported that the following persons had been asked and
had agreed to service, if elected, in the offices indicated:



President: David Collingham, K3LP

Vice President: Terry Hines, N4ZH

Treasurer: Brian Bayus, N1KC

Secretary: George Vincent, K3GV





The President then recognized David Collingham, K3LP, who requested to
address the Membership prior to the election.



Dave stated that he was honored to be considered for NCDXA President. Since
being asked to run, Dave had determined that his dedication of time and
energy to doing the job the way it should be would involve a program of
ambitious and wide-ranging changes to the club. The purpose of these
proposals would be to reinvigorate and expand the potential of NCDXA.
Changes to such items as the website, membership categories and
development, creation of youth, VE and annual award programs, and
reintroduction of an annual international level convention, based on the
DXPO model previously sponsored by NCDXA.



The President then inquired if there were any further nomination. There
being none, nominations were closed. Upon a voice vote all the nominees
were elected to serve until the next Annual meeting.



The President then turned to the matter of the next meeting. It will be
held on December 17, 2011 at the home of Marlene Hammond, KB4FAS in Oakton,
Virginia.



 There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:05 PM.



Respectfully submitted,



Brian Bayus, N1KC

Assistant to Acting Secretary



* (Immediately following the meeting, George Vincent, K3GV, stated that he
was resigning from the position of Secretary and from membership in NCDXA.
with immediate effect. His request for return of his annual dues was
honored. The officers immediately asked Rick Murphy, K1MU, to assume the
duties of Secretary, as well as Webmaster and list moderator. Rick
graciously accepted this "acting" appoint, subject to ratification by the
Members at the next (December) meeting.
