Rough Feb 2 Meeting notes

Here are some rough notes from the meeting we had. It was just Amanda, Rob and me (Cam).

The three of us went through the whole agenda.

Amanda's letter was held back until we have CIRO Internet streaming.

There were 5 responses from the NCRA list serve that I can make available on the blog. The crew out of Kamloops identified concerns over a low power station. They also invited us to come and visit.

Rob identified the budget as being a major focus. Without it we cannot apply for any CRTC license.

Action Items

Amanda (while holding down a job and going to school!) will try and do radio research as well as phone the Kamloops crew to ween off some info on budgeting and process in general. She will ask and see when would be a good time for a CIRO road trip down to Kamloops.

Cam will phone the Calgary and Edmonton stations that responded and said they would help. Cam will also see if another night might be best for people and schedule the next meeting.

As you can assume Rob is very busy with the Internet station.

Proposed Action Items

Ryan can you keep looking into prices on equipment? This will give us an idea on budget and let us know what second hand equipment is costing. Basically anything to do with radio that you think might be useful it would be nice to know in terms of price and availablity.

Rob C will be focused on Industry Canada info.

Wolf and Mary if you want to keep busy you can look at http://ouc-radio-crtc.blogspot.com/ for some of the links I have posted. You can also check out http://www.prometheusradio.org/background.shtml and on the left hand side they have organizing your station which gives a good low down on some possible station set ups. Knowledge is power.

Next Meeting

If we follow tradition it would be Wed, March 2nd. Especially Mary,what days are best for you to meet in Kelowna? Please let me know in the next week or so and I can see if everyone can make another night than Wednesday. Cool. Cam
