Many of you have heard for a while now that we were working with Icom to get some new radio equipment donated. Well, it finally happened!! Icom generously provided a brand new IC-7000 w/ tuner and IC-2820 w/ D-STAR. They're in the shack now! If you're interested in learning how to use them, watch the mailing list for a general meeting that will include an orientation to the new equipment.
Its been a while since I've posted updates on this. Things have been moving, but slowly...until now.
Last week, Lydig construction, Valley Electric, and a few other contractors yet to be confirmed have come together to complete our tower project! They will be donating all their labor and the small supplies needed (including concrete!)
Our major project for the 2010-2011 school year will be installing our antenna tower on the WSU campus. This project will cover a wide range of skills, including Structural, Electrical, and Computer Engineering, Technical Writing, and Public Speaking. During the previous school year we were donated a 53.5 Ft telescoping tower, a 40m Antenna and a 10-15-20m Antenna.
