Freshers Week 2011: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:14, 5 August 2011

The Fresher's week of 2011 will be the first since the Club has reformed as the Southampton University Wireless Society. We are planning to put on plenty of activity and events to advertise the Club and get students interested in the activities of SUWS, including the Wireless Networking Project of SOWN and the hobby of Amateur Radio.

Freshers Week starts on Monday 26th September. We are in the process of planning events, stay tuned(:-P)!

Bunfight

We have requested a table with power, this will be shared with SOWN.

Radio Kit ideas:

HF rx with random wire antenna.
Simple 2m FM repeater setup.
2m FM Simplex station (chance for DSSTV from remote location?)
Possible FSTV setup.

Portable station

We are planning a large portable setup at some point in the week (weekend of 1st/2nd Oct?) to demonstrate what we currently do and the variety that can be done!

Location

Grass outside west-ref?

AR Publicity

GB2RS snippet? Once we have dates finalised.

AR Special Event Callsign?

G3KMI is a well recognised club callsign.
