=== YEAR IN REVIEW ===
* Treasurer
** We have an undetermined amount of money.
** Some money in general funds
** 0 in mobile operating systems
** Some money in the powerpol project
** Some money in antenna array project
** Closed Budgets:
*** SOWN Zepler
** Everything else is in general or is in an open budget.

* Exams
** Everyone who is a member passed
** Everyone else passed too
** 6 Foundation
** 7 Intermediate
** 9 Advanced
** People aren't vanishing after foundation, they're coming
back.
*President
** Replaced all of the broken/missing parts on the HF beam, but we may have made a mistake somewhere because it is not as resonant as it should be. When the weather is a bit warmer we should schedule a workshop to have a closer look at it
** We didn't do VHF Field Day last year, but we did take part in HF Field Day, mostly just giving away points
** Took part in YOTA Month. Band conditions weren't great, and it was a very cold day, but we made a few contacts
* Licensing officer
** License G3KMI still owned by Phil Crump
** We need to find someone to transfer that to
** License G8KMI is still owned by a guy who was formerly a member. He's hard to contact, it takes many years to tranfer license
* Secretary
** Not much to say, notification emails have been sent. Everything else is managed by other secretaries.
* SOWN Network Manager
** SOWN Zepler is up, not too much progress.
** IP migration ongoing, SOWN vlan is migrated to the iSolutions network.
** Mobile SOWN Nodes are working (Young Dave is working on it)
** MAC blacklisting, among other things on the server aren't committed.
* Communications Secretary
** Blog Posts are posted on wordpress
** Twitter has been tweeting with the assistance of Dave Newman

==Minutes (Template)==

=== YEAR IN REVIEW ===
*Treasurer
**Significant purchase - £207.50 SDR (Air Spy)- large amount from SUSU funding
**Spent £200 more this year (Significant chunk from Morse sounder project, and other projects)
**A lot of membership money goes to RSGB (roughly quarter)
**Option 1 - get more money in by increasing student membership to £15 / staff and alumni £25? Or selling old equipment - better than storing. Should we increase finding for first years?
***We could charge an exam course fee, but this could be controversial?
****Vote:
*****£15 for student members - 12 in favour, no objections
*****£25 for non-student members - 12 in favour, no objections
*****New members £10 - 10 in favour, no objections
**Option 2 - get more funding from SUSU (SOWN Zepler Project) - matched funding
**This year roughly matched for money out and money in
**Option 3 - Sponsorship? Will this be viable?
**Option 4 - Purchase Baofeng Radios in bulk and sell to new members who have just been licensed - need to consider import tax to see if this is a viable option.

*Exams
** No exams this year with Itchen Valley ARC
**High pass rates, good year for exams
**We need to better organise invigilators/instructors next time
***Could have more full-licencees become instructors/ Registered Assessors
**Perhaps practical exams could be completed at an earlier date to avoid stress
**Consider organising exams/ workshop sessions for weekends
**It is good to see members progress through the licensing system

*President
**???

*Licensing officer
**Ensure correct paperwork is readily available

*Secretary
**My attendance year could have been better.

SUSU Antenna Array

2014-11-13T19:45:01Z

AndrewBarrettSprot: /* Needs Fixing */

This page describe the plan to build a new antenna array to mount back on the mast on the West Building (outside the Stag's Head). This would be of benefit to SUWS as well as other societies listed below.

'''[https://www.facebook.com/groups/465807966892387/ Facebook Group]'''

== 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 seek provisional permission for the antenna array to be erected ,so we are aware of any additional things we need to consider.

== Interested Parties ==
* [http://www.suws.org.uk/ SUWS] (us) - General Amateur Radio operation / tracking high altitude balloons.

* 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+2m with dual-band rotator
* triband 2m/70cm/other vertical antenna on top of dual-band rotator
* Ask SUSU TV if they're interested (short-range camera links)
* SOWN Wi-Fi by coordinates
=== Varying degrees of silliness ===
* Pi camera

SUSU Antenna Array

2014-11-13T19:21:38Z

AndrewBarrettSprot: /* Needs Fixing */

This page describe the plan to build a new antenna array to mount back on the mast on the West Building (outside the Stag's Head). This would be of benefit to SUWS as well as other societies listed below.

'''[https://www.facebook.com/groups/465807966892387/ Facebook Group]'''

== 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 seek provisional permission for the antenna array to be erected ,so we are aware of any additional things we need to consider.

== Interested Parties ==

** Interested in directional Wi-Fi for live campus broadcast
* [http://www.surgeradio.co.uk/ 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+2m with dual-band rotator
* triband 2m/70cm/other vertical antenna on top of dual-band rotator
* Ask SUSU TV if they're interested (short-range camera links)
* SOWN Wi-Fi by coordinates

== Plan ==

From top of the mast to bottom.

* 6m/2m/70cm collinear (AR+satellites+HABs)

* FM Broadcast antenna (SURGE)
** 2.4GHz omni (sensor networks)
** 868 MHz omni (sensor networks)
