In the early '90s, as the membership expanded to over 120, it was determined a storage room and a restroom were needed. The plan at that time was to expand the meeting area into the storage area for additional seating, if meetings continued to draw 50+ members. A building expansion project was begun to add the restroom and a garage to consolidate storage of antennas, towers, the African Queen and other club materials that were being kept at various club members' homes.. |
Among the crew were N5RBW, KE5NO, WA6CMJ, N5OKQ (SK), N5WJN (SK) N5OIU (SK), AA5PK, W5IFJ, and N5DE |
The extension to the slab with plumbing for the restroom. (The city's inspection tag on the copper pipe.) |
