Latest revision as of 11:58, 10 September 2011

The Fresher's week of 2011 will be the first since the Club has reformed as the Southampton University Wireless Society. We are planning to put on plenty of activity and events to advertise the Club and get students interested in the activities of SUWS, including the Wireless Networking Project of SOWN and the hobby of Amateur Radio.

Freshers Week starts on Monday 26th September. We are in the process of planning events, stay tuned!

Introductory Meetings

Thursday 6th October - Building 85, Room 2207
Tuesday 11th October - Building 85, Room 2207

Bunfight

We have requested a table with power, this will be shared with SOWN.

SOWN Kit:

Campus node.
Parabolic dish antenna?

Radio Kit ideas:

HF rx with random wire antenna.
Simple 2m FM repeater setup.
2m FM Simplex station (chance for DSSTV from remote location?)
Possible FSTV setup.
Some random antennas for show.

Amateur Radio Portable station

A portable operation will be set up on an as-of-yet-undecided date in the week or two following the Bunfight. Note that there will be the SOWN/G3KMI Introductory Meetings during this time for you to get to know us and find out more about our activities!
