The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM EST by President K3ZO. Those
present were asked to introduce themselves.


The minutes of the meeting of December  2021 had been posted online earlier
and were accepted without change.



Treasurer K3EW reported that the treasury stood at $5201.58 as of this
meeting.


Vice President N4MM reported on ARRL matters. John commented that it had
taken a long time for ARRL HQ to produce the Minutes of  the January 2022
Board of Directors (BOD) Meeting.   During the years that John had served
on the BOD and later as an ARRL Vice-President, the Minutes had been
reported in a much more timely manner.  There was some commentary to the
effect that the Minutes of this meeting had been very lengthy because the
BOD had chosen to update the way Standing Orders are handled, and in the
process had reviewed and eliminated many Standing Orders that were
technically still in force but had long been forgotten.

John and others noted with pleasure that the Sunspot Cycle 25 is continuing
its rise and that conditions on the higher HF bands had improved
substantially as a result.  Some members are looking forward to the
possibility that the 6 meter band may eventually open regularly for DX.

Webmaster K1MU was asked to make any comments he might wish to make about
the NCDXA Website. Rick reported that the site continued to operate without
problems. President K3ZO commended K1MU for the way he had the site and the
email reflector running so smoothly.

After discussion it was decided that the next regular meeting of NCDXA
would take place at 7:00 PM EDST on Thursday April 28  via ZOOM.

There being no further business, the formal meeting was adjourned at 7:20
PM, followed by informal discussion by those present about DX matters.

Respectfully Submitted,

Alfred A. Laun, III, K3ZO

Secretary (Acting)
