Activating inactive Hams were discussed. Joe suggested making an emergency procedure and plan and giving a copy to the inactive Hams.
Keven gave a power point presentation on emergency and radio preparedness. He began by reading an article about the help Ham Radio operators gave in the recent flooding in Colorado.
