Outing (to be) held from 11:00-19:00 on 2017/06/03 in/on Southampton Common
It's around the right time of year for a little post-exams radio extravaganza! Probably another trip to the Common, meeting in the Gower car park around 11 to fetch things from the cupboard and cage. Exact plan to be decided at the meeting on Thursday, but there will definitely be some HF operation, maybe some more fun data modes, maybe testing Tyler's dipole ideas.

Lessons learned
- We should work more VHF, it's apparently pretty good for finding old club members
- A lot of the people who use the common on a Saturday aren't students, based on the average number of clients connected to the SOWN node being around 20
- The tuner needs a 9v power supply to operate the relay that engages the dummy load. Club project: DC-DC converter with powerpole inlet and 9v output for standalone operation
- A flight case full of batteries with robust wheels would be a useful addition to the outing kit
