For the last several months those of us over at the Rochester Institute of Technology ARC, K2GXT, have been experimenting with MediaWiki hosted on CollegeARC. This wiki is located at Projects.CollegeARC.Com. The wiki has been setup to allow clubs to have a common area in which to document their projects. The first major project documented with this system has been the RITCHIE-1 High Altitude Balloon. Before letting other clubs know about this part of CollegeARC we wanted to not only test if it was a correct solution but also to fill it with some content as a basis for other clubs to see how they might want to documetent their own projects. Easy access to the wiki has been provided with the additions of a button called "Projects" on the left sidebar.

Collegiate clubs are always looking for operating events and opportunities that excite and motivate their members to be active, especially on HF. This year’s ARRL November Sweepstakes certainly fits the bill and – for the first time in years – the bands will have plenty to offer Technician license-holders, too! Sweepstakes – or “Sweeps” among friends – is a contest in which modest stations can do very,very well. There’s no need for giant towers and antennas or legal-limit amplifiers – simple antennas and a “barefoot” HF rig will do just fine. Sweepstakes brings out many US and Canadian operators, and there will be a lot of stations to work on the bands. More stations = more contacts = more fun!
Your club can participate in two ways. The first is to submit a score in the School Club category of the main competition. With its 30-hour time limit, the shared-operating nature of the category fits right in with the busy fall semester. Give the Phone...

It's that time of the year again. Within the next several weeks school will be in full session for many of you and with that will come college radio club activities! Brent and I took a step back from this website this Summer after our RITCHIE-1 project with K2GXT. It was an amazing experience we worked with some truely awesome people on it but it did take it's toll on us. We were spent. With that said, it was awesome to see people keep posting on CollegeARC over the Summer.

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves as we go into the Summer season! I am back in Massachusetts and am finding myself with a lot of time not doing homework. Therefore, I'm getting on some awesome CollegeARC improvements. Looking forward to finishing what the Fall quarter at RIT stopped me short of. Anyways, I have informed all those who normally run the net that we will once again suspend the University Linked Repeater Net for the Summer of 2011.
The University Net ended a bit rocky when RIT's repeater wouldn't connect to echolink or IRLP preventing many at RIT from attending. Additionally, many of us were trying to finish out our school year and net attendance dropped. This suspension will help us enjoy the summer without a committment to the net and to reorganize for next year. I look forward to working to improve it! |
