Folks,  My sincere apology for the trouble with Zoom this evening. This
invite was the first one that I created this calendar year.  A
subtle change escaped my notice and caused all of the confusion.  Zoom now
requires at least one extra security step to gain entry to a meeting.

I failed to UNCHECK a box labeled ''require authentication to join", for
this meeting. By not deselecting the box,  you had to sign in to your Zoom
account and then manually add the meeting Passcode. If you did not have a
zoom account you had to create one.

In the future that box will be deselected BUT even if you have the link to
the meeting, you probably will be required to enter the passcode supplied
with the invite. Simply copy it and paste it in the dialog box which is
requiring it, and you will be admitted to the meeting.

The presenter, Mark Wohlschlegel, WC3W, did a great job  and we
thanked him for his efforts.

Hopefully I will distribute a copy of the video of the meeting shortly.
