Amateur Radio

Recurring Points

Exams
- Current expectation is that there will be an exam in mid to late August, and possibly one in September/October.

Grant Applications

SUSU Grant Applications are now open

Closing on the 31st of August.
Minimum grant would be £50

Things for which to possibly request funding

Could do with expanding the club toolkit, to reduce dependence on tools supplied by individuals (e.g. knives, spanners, torches).

Crimp tool suitable for Anderson Power Poles
- http://www.radioworld.co.uk/crimping-tool-for-anderson-powerpole-connectors-58568-1049
Stanley knife
- Primarily useful for cutting and stripping high-gauge cable
Allen keys
Adjustable spanner or set of spanners
First Aid Kit
Torches

Other candidates:

New series of [RSGB training books](https://www.rsgbshop.org/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Training_19.html)
- Should be able to get the RSGB member discount
- Buy one set as soon as possible, so that we can compare them to the old books

Consumables:

Tape

First Aid

It would be a good idea for one or more core member to be trained in First Aid. We could request funding for a commercial course, or exploit the First Aid Society. The society appears to be in hibernation over summer; we can consult them nearer the start of term.
