Freshers Week 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.

SOWN Kit:

• Campus node.
• Parabolic dish antenna?

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.
• Some random antennas for show.

Amateur Radio 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 with Amateur Radio and the variety that can be done!

Location

• Grass outside west-ref? Need to talk to SUSU once timing + date is decided.

Timing

• All-day Saturday (9am til late)?

AR Publicity

GB2RS snippet? Once we have dates finalised, aim to submit a 'Club News' in October Radcom (submission deadline is 1st September.)

AR Special Event Callsign?

G3KMI is a well recognised club callsign, no need for anything more special.
