National Update: UA Ham Radio

At the last meeting of the executive board of SEDS-USA, a vote was taken to allow the UA Ham Radio Club webspace on our server. The vote passed. Transcript of the meeting can be found here: http://wiki.seds.org/index.php/2009_September_14_SEDS-USA_Exec_Transcript

UA's Ham Radio Club website is currently: www.k7uaz.com

Why this matters to any of you?
UA Ham Radio Club helped out UA SEDS back in the day of SEDS SAT.

Now, UA SEDS is undertaking another major project. We are building a rockoon. For more information on the rockoon team go to: http://wiki.seds.org/index.php/Rockoon_Project
For the communications part of the project ham radio will be necessary.

It was sent out in the executive board email that "UofA SEDS has been building a relationship with them once again." This would be refering to the members of the rockoon project who have gone to meetings for more information. Also, Chris Walker, the faculty advisor for their club, has let the rockoon group use equipment from a radio repeater senior design project (most of the members of that project were UA members by the way).


The UA Ham Radio Club meets the first and third Wednesday of every month at 6pm in room 303 of the Old Engineering Building. The next meeting should be on 9/16.
(As a quick, nearly unrelated note, the next ham radio test will be at the Jacobs Park YMCA on 9/26 at 9am. More info can be found here: http://www.sarci.org/ham.htm)



That's all for the UA related stuff.
