The next regular ALPB TeamSpeak meeting will be this Saturday, July 19th at 9:00 pm EDT.
Given the time of year when many are busy with outdoor activities, I myself may not be able to chair this meeting as we will again be on a camping excursion.
If I cannot make some arrangement to faciliate participating in the meeting I will request an alternate to chair the meeting. I have not been able to locate a TeamSpeak app for my Smartphone however I do have Skype and perhaps there is a way to cross patch between the two.
In any case the meeting will go on as usual.
Speak of the devil, I was just bragging about the ALPB.
My big new idea this week is that the ALPB should join all the licensing agencies such as BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, Record Exchange and RIAA, and require a licensing fee for operating a Part 15 station.
Before you say no, consider being very wealthy and having all your bills paid in advance plus a staff of women to carry out errands and tidy work.
The ALPB Building in Cayahoga Falls would be the tallest building in town with transmitter space up on top.
The PhilB Suite would be used by presidents and governors for secret activities.
The Rich Fry Convention Hall would play host to the major engineering conventions and trade shows.
The MICRO1700 Dog Radio Pool and Patio would attract both up and coming movie stars.
The John WDCX Casino would float on an indoor lake.
The Tim in Bovey Courtesy Desk would provide a personal consierge to solve any peculiar wish you might have.

The ALPB, the Association of Low Power Broadcasters, meets on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, at 9 PM EDT.
The meetings take place in the high fidelity audio environment of Teamspeak, and all persons with an interest in radio are welcome to join by contacting the Chairman.
Regular members plan their weekends around the meetings and sometimes arrive in the Teamspeak Meeting Room up to 20-minutes ahead of time to greet others as they log in.
Here at KDX Worldround Radio the audio system is patched and checked out so we can record an archival audiofile of each meeting in lieu of having a secretary jotting down minutes of the meeting. Some portions of meetings are occasionally used as part of the Low Power Hour, but only by permission of every participant. We never broadcast comments made "off the record." The recordings are sent to the Chairman for his convenience in documenting the business conducted at the meetings, and after a few months the audio recordings are deleted. The recordings are captured via Audacity, a professional quality open source audio editing application available free at sourceforge.net.
Johny Cole of Rag FM in Ragland, New Zealand, records a backup audio archive of each meeting utilizing the in-built Teamspeak recording tool.
Teamspeak also provides a handy text-chat box so that messages can be exchanged by text, a very useful tool when a microphone fails to come through, something that happens once in awhile.
The ALPB maintains its own website

Our good man Carl has said it all, catch there.
