This page describe the plan to build a new antenna array to mount back on the West Building (outside the Stag's Head). This would be of benefit to SUWS as well as other societies listed below.
Current Status
- We have some parts but we need but quite a lot of stuff needs to be bought, built or fixed (see Kit below).
- We need to have proper discussion with other interested parties.
- We need to come up with a final design of what will go on the antenna array and how it will be organised.
- We need to at least speak provisional permission for the antenna array to be erected ,so we are aware of any additional things we need to consider.
Interested Parties
- SUWS (us) - General Amateur Radio operation / tracking high altitude balloons.
- Space Flight Society
- Interested in helping us.
- Interested in tracking satellite / high altitude balloons
- SUSUtv
- Interested in directional Wi-Fi for live campus broadcast
- Surge
- Interested in properly fixing their FM antenna
- Tyler is aware of other interested parties.
Ideas
Sensible
- 23cm at bottom
- SURGE FM broadcast above 23cm antenna (we'd help them get back on the air)
- HF antenna of some sort
- 70cm+2cm with dual-band rotator
- triband 2m/70cm/other vertical antenna on top of dual-band rotator
Varying levels of silliness
- Large SUWS flag on top concealing a loop antenna
- Ask SUSU TV if they're interested (short-range camera links)
- SOWN Wi-Fi by coordinates
Kit (Incomplete)
Have
- 2-axis Rotator
- Triband vertical
- Poles
Required
- More coax
Needs Building
- 2m Yagi
- 70cm Yagi
- Remote control computer
Needs Fixing
- HF antenna
