Announcements:

W8PY: A Tech license course was conducted this weekend at The Heritage 
School for eight local Boy Scouts who previously took part in a ham 
radio merit badge project that was also put on by BGMRC. Seven 
candidates passed their tests and will be issued amateur radio licenses. 
Also testing at today's session was one of the scoutmasters who upgraded 
to General. Thanks to David Benoist AG4ZR and two VEs from his team for 
coming to Newnan to administer the tests.

KL0UD: The net will need someone to take over as net control on Feb. 17 
and Feb. 24 since KL0UD will be working and out of town, respectively, 
those nights. One ham on the net said he would check to see if he could 
take one or possibly both of those nights.

KL0UD: Tonight's net was being billed as the "BGMRC net" because there 
is a change taking place in the ARES situation for Fayette and Coweta 
counties, with the two organizations in the process of merging. This is 
a recent decision between the ECs in the two counties and the Georgia 
SEC in hopes of revitalizing local ARES operations. More details will be 
forthcoming soon, and the net script will be revised to reflect this change.

The net concluded at 2110 hrs.
