2012 Plans, Aims and Goals

Plans

• We will arrange an examination for a convenient date after the exam period, allowing both the Foundation and Intermediate candidates a chance to take their relevant papers.
  • Sort out a date for the Intermediate Practicals.
  • Get the HF contact done for Foundation candidates. (Final step before exam.)

• Possibility of using PV room+roof on the top of Lanchester for G3KMI operation. See Photos of roof.
  • Scout out possible (warmer) rooms for operating, such as lecture theatres, that could then be cabled to the roof.
  • Talk to 'Person-In-Charge' about the possibility of sustained access and kit storage.
  • Internet could be supplied to the Room via a SOWN node (currently 1 ethernet port in the room, no wifi coverage.)

• Portable Ops after Exam period is over, and when the weather warms up.

• Rallies. We are students. Rallies are one of the cheapest places to get kit, so rallies are the places for us to go!
