== Amateur Radio ==

=== New UHF/VHF transceiver ===
* Dave Newman has received reimbursement into his bank account.

=== Licence Exams ===
* The Amateur Radio exam that never was on the 20th August
** Should we have a general rule not do exams in August as invigilator / room availability is always a bit patchy.
** Next exam dates: List of full exam dates [http://rsgb.org/main/clubs-training/advanced-examination-dates/ here]

=== [http://www.stfc.ac.uk/chilbolton/default.aspx Chilbolton Atmospheric Radio Observatory] ===
* Mentioned by Quintin - could probably get a free visit/tour as a uni club.
** Maybe a good activity for 2014-15 newbies?

=== Outings/Events ===
* VHF Field day (05/07/2014 -> 06/07/2014) - results?
** Possible for next year sites - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combe_Gibbet ? (field nearby belongs to the hang-gliding club)
** Can we collate the good photos on the photos page?

=== <s>Spring</s> End of academic year 2014 Newsletter Finalisation ===
* Newsletter
** [http://www.suws.org.uk/Newsletter/2014-02] [https://docs.google.com/a/scorpia.co.uk/document/d/1mOOoQCueribZdbM_m7FVsjZFx7bzTlCGlqK7Twtnq24/edit?pli=1#]
** A few tweaks/finalisations required
*** Add VHF NFD, make it and end of academic year newsletter.
** We need a list of people to whom to send it.

=== QSL Cards ===
* QSL card design competition
** Photos taken at VHF NFD
** Please design/submit designs ASAP.
** Closing date TBD (but probably once we have funding for them)
** Funding - see joint agenda

* Received QSL cards
** Tyler has them
** We need to figure out what to do with them - scan them? Put them in an album?

=== Shack in SUSU ===
* Our old shack (office) is being turned into a meeting room, maybe
* Plan to try to get a corner in it for use as a shack when there's no meeting (or remote control when there is a meeting)

==== Antennas ====
* Would require us spending time/money putting our antennas back on our mast - funding application next year
* 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
* Ideas (silly):
** Large SUWS flag on top concealing a loop antenna
** Ask SUSU TV if they're interested (short-range camera links)
** SOWN WiFi by coordinates
* Current status
** We have: Rotator, triband vertical, poles
** To build: 2m Yagi, 70cm Yagi, remote control computer
** To fix: HF antenna
** We might not have enough: coax
* Space Flight Society ARE interested in helping us.
* We should start talking to other societies, to see if they are interested.
* We should tell someone in SUSU that we're doing this.

== Joint Agenda ==
=== SUSU ===
* General discussion about matters SUSU
* Finding a more suitable zone, e.g. Creative Industries
* Funding round 1 has started. Deadline: 23:59 31st August
** See [[Funding Application 1 2014-2015]]

=== Other ===
* Plans for Freshers / new members
* Room booking
** Dave Newman has received an email confirming we have Thursday 18:00-20:00 booking from week before Freshers' week until the end of June 2015 for Zepler CLS room 59/1257. This has been forwarded to committee.
** We should see if there is some way of checking this on-line or waiting until the first booked week and check the timetable outside the room, if they are still putting those up.
* Updating committee list.
** Is all the committee currently on the list at [[sown:Developers:MailingLists/Committee]]
** At very least Murray needs to be added.
** Maybe Phil can setup a committee [at] suws.org.uk, then we have control over it rather than having to ask ECS postmaster.
*** However, it would be worth maintaining both, in case people accidentally continue to use the @sown.org.uk one.
