==1990's==

In the late 1990s the Amateur radio club split into ‘Surge’ who wanted to run a music-and-chat broadcast station, and ‘SOWN’ (Southampton Open Wireless Network) who built an 802.11 mesh network across Southampton. Eventually student house-moves and increased 2.4Ghz-noise meant the mesh network no longer had enough coverage to be worth the effort.

==2000's==

In 2007 the SOWN project was revived (with some funding from ECS), to extend the campus wireless network into students’ homes, often via the now-ubiquitous ADSL connections. This was largely a software development exercise.

==2010's==
In 2011 a group of students became interested in reviving the University’s Amateur activities. Sufficient details were available for Ofcom to re-issue the G3KMI call sign to the newly-reformed group.
