• Ty will check to see if there are any access points to get on the roof
    • owner is okay with us putting an antenna up
    • we just need to sort it out
  • we need to :
    • measure how much cable we need
    • how to get all our equipment up on to the roof
    • find/scrounge/buy a radio antenna base
    • get a mobile station for the space ( Farell has this )
    • get some sandbages and a pallet
  • Eventually we're going to be re-arranging the space, we'll have our own space for a radio set up
  • Ian is going to check with Keith tomorrow about coax cable ( we need 50-ohm shielded )
  • probably a good opportunity to reach out to other clubs about where they source their stuff
  • running our own net ( Wed @ 9pm )
    • what equipment to use?
    • probably going to use a local repeater
    • all the members of the arc should practice heading the net
    • main reason for doing our own net: practice, practice, practice!
  • discuss unlicensed amateurs
    • Sean: going to download and use the exam generator
      • also going to use the question bank file to build a site
    • useful tools: hampuzzle, exhaminer
    • delta radio amateur club is charging $50 for their course
    • maybe we should run our own course
      • problem is that a course would end up teaching the exam, not actual radio fundamentals
    • will bring in some of the Vector books for unlicensed amateurs to learn
    • finding an examiner to help unlicensed amateurs write the exam once they're ready
  • talking about getting a base station for VHS ARC
  • everyone filled out a membership form?
