  • We have the crossed 2m yagi
  • Turns out the guy in charge of the building wasn't aware; he's now looking over our plans.
• Yagi for 70cm - single/crossed?

    • Horizontal, as the vertical can cover vertical.
• Powerbeam Range test with nanobeam
  • That will happen, in the maths tower, later this evening hopefully.
• Other societies
  • Astrosoc hasn't got back to me yet.
  • It'd be nice to have a meeting with/directly contact other socs.
