Amateur Radio

Recurring Points

AOB

• Idea to have an association of UK university amateur radio societies
• Support for outreach, getting new members, operating, how to become an exam centre, and annual meetings.
• We had the idea at EMFCamp when we spoke to EARS (Surrey). Probably worth contacting them more formally as a first step.
• Other unis to reach out to:
  • Cambridge (CUWS)
  • Imperial (maybe - I think their robotics soc does amateur radio?)
• Contact the RSGB to ask for more intel on university clubs.
