Online Broadcast statistics were provided; recent emails were passed around. Funds raised during the earlier in the day Meet the Candidates Luncheon amount to over $300.00.
Motion by Pete, 2nd by Paul to approve the Jan 2004 meeting minutes. Motion passed.
Pete provided an FCC update including: our minor modification permit was getting closer to being approved; should be within 30 days as a guesstimate; our buddy in Benwood ) Brian)  felt certain we would be allowed 100 watts of ERP (power); Pete said Sunday night (25th) he and Andy would rig up a mini transmitter and try a signal test. General discussion on having a celebration when WYAP actually goes on the air. Consensus: our high school broadcasters should begin making plans for the party.
Three weeks prior, the antenna was brought down, repainted, and our new Comet antenna was installed  as well as the coax with the help of supporter Gregory Payne of Elkview, Delbert, Pete, Alex D, and Andy. After installation, Mr Payne provided a 50 watt ham radio test which revealed at that level, our signal would reach Baird’s Jewelry Store to the North, Clay High, and Bullard’s Exxon toward Maysel.
Lengthy discussion on whether to go way over budget and purchase a 300 watt transmitter ($3000) or to stay within our $2100 budget and start out with a much smaller 30 watt ( under $1800) unit. Motion made and passed to stay within budget and go ahead and purchase within budget as soon as the FCC gives the thumbs up.
Motion by Andy , 2nd by Dana to change future Board meetings to: the second Saturday of the month at 9 am. Motion passed unanimously
Marge plans to attend the Spring CORA convention in Breaks VA April 27, 28 and 29th.  A $50 conference fee has been forwarded to Marge. Our high school broadcasters have prepared a new three panel display for the conference. Marge will also take for the booth; Clayberry maps, business cards, and brochures.
Pete gave an update on our 2003 Budget Digest grants. According to Pete:  Senator Love and Delegate Perry came to the station earlier in the month and  assured us we had our $4000 and $2500 grants and the $4000 award would arrive within a few days. Additional paperwork for the $2500 was mailed to Charleston by Andy. As for our $5000, 2004 Budget Digest request, according to Sen. Love, “it looks real real good right now!” The $5000 will be used to purchase an office trailer which will serve as a new live broadcast booth and mobile unit during fairs and festivals around the county.
Gordon Bird asked about advertising his business on the outside of building. Response: Yes, for a fee
Discussion on our ever changing labor force. Brian S will be going to the Army in June; Rachel R will be graduating May 26th; senior worker Henry White passed away April 13th, and Wanda Chambers sold her home and is moving to Glenville. By mid summer, only Brittany F will be left working at the station. New senior citizen worker Fonda B has come on the job and is blending in nicely.
WYAP-LP now has 5 business sponsors.
In 2005, low power stations will be allowed to own up to 9 other stations according to FCC rule changes coming now.    Andy reported the newly donated Peavy amp used to distribute the 4 live mics was making a nasty “hum”. Motion by Pete, 2nd by Paul to spend up to $150 to replace the Peavy. Motion passed unanimously.
Pete played the recently recorded “hick hop” public service announcements produced by the CCHS broadcasters.

Upkeep of Station:    WYAP agreed to the upkeep of the premises.  The outside of the station will need to be painted, new carpet needs to be installed, and blinds for the windows are needed.  Mr. Sampson may be able to secure five gallons of white commercial grade paint.  Mr. Perdue will check on having the parking lot repaired.  Mr. Perdue may also be able to obtain carpeting at no cost to the organization.

PURCHASES: Heater  $220.00    Puter $45
Our holiday music selection increased to almost 15 hours. The two weeks leading up to Christmas included 25% holiday tunes. The week of Christmas was 50% holiday sounds and on Dec 24 25  and 26, WYAP aired 100% Christmas sounds.
 In Dec our on air shows increased and matured with the addition of the Dear Laura Beth and Dwayne show and Seasonal Sounds with Crystal Coulter. Carolyn Young  wants to do programming but hasn’t found time in her schedule. Expect Young to go live in Jan  Feb 2005.
 Our biggest success is Dec was the addition of  four sportscasters. Linda McKinney and MD Mullins handling all the Lady Panther home games with Shon Parsons and  Josh Shamblin doing boys b ball. Both teams have a great mic presence are  dependable and committed. Shamblin is interested in doing other sports programming as well. Our newly purchased Phone Jam ( $220) mic connector box is a little on the whimpy side mechanically but works well and provides a good clear operation platform.
 Beginning in Nov our P Tek transmitter starting goofing up with iritic performance. On Dec 29th during a Lady Panther ball game it completely died and was shipped ($22.00) to the CA manufacturer Dec 30th. Under warranty, it should be back in  service in 14 days. While in for repairs, YAP borrowed a completely illegal 30 watt transmitter from WEAK-LP in Athens OH and hooked it up Jan 2 2005. Although back on the air, our sound and signal is pitiful. We are non compliant with FCC rules and if caught, they will build the jail around us.
 The live booth was completely rearranged on New Year’s Day for more ease of operation. After doing so, additional adjustments will have to be made to meet physical differences in our volunteer broadcast force. That should be completed Jan 9.
 Our electric heater ( donated by Delbert two years ago) failed us during a cold snap in Dec. The malfunction melted wiring and darn near caught the place on fire. After emailing Board members, AW went to Goldarbs in Charleston and purchased a $225 new unit which is now operating.
 We continue to have serious paperwork and book keeping problems. Some where down the road lack of records and details is going to bite us real hard.
 We continue to have labor shortages prevent us expanding programming and keeping spot announcements fresh. We are shorting our mission statement and purpose by being lax in this area.
 We hosted our first New Years Eve show which included a lighted ball drop, around 30 in attendance, and a three hour live broadcast. Fun was had by all.
 LPFM One Minute newscasts, GNAT Sports, and Media News service was added to our resources in Dec 2004. MSN Messenger and Yahoo messenger was added to Dave and Direlos allowing on air broadcasters an immediate avenue to communicate with listeners. Both messengers are being used by the evening broadcasters.
  NEEDS: Someone to do bookkeeping, thank yous, and sales campaign.  EQUIPMENT: two new mics for sportscasters so we don’t have to gut the live booth twice a week. Cost around $100. Some kind of suitcase to carry the Phone Jam back and forth. Cost ?
