Amateur Radio

Recurring Points

AOB

  • Idea to have an association of UK university amateur radio societies
  • Support for outreach, getting new members, operating, how to become an exam centre, and annual meetings.
  • We had the idea at EMFCamp when we spoke to EARS (Surrey). Probably worth contacting them more formally as a first step.
  • Other unis to reach out to:
    • Cambridge (CUWS)
    • Imperial (maybe - I think their robotics soc does amateur radio?)
  • Contact the RSGB to ask for more intel on university clubs.
