[suws-members] Remaining prep work for SUSU Antenna Array

[David R Newman]

Hi All,

As some of you may be aware, Tyler and I had a meeting with the SUSU 
VPDCI (Vice President for Democracy and Creative industries?) and it 
looks things might get moving again with deploying our antenna array on 
the side of the West Building (i.e. above the Stags loooking over the 
red brick concourse).

Anyway, we still have a fair chunk of things to do so that we can hand 
over to Estates and Facilities something they can put up on the 
building.  Tyler and I are planning to meet on Sunday at 2pm (until 
4-5pm) to look at what we still need to spec out and order and what more 
hands on tasks need to be done.  If you are around in Southampton and 
free to help, then please come along.  We will be meeting in the 
Building 32 Coffee Room (at 2pm on Sunday).  If you are coming and don't 
have access to B32 then tell us before you leave home on IRC and we can 
make sure someone is at the North end (nearer Burgess Road) door (of 
B32) at the time you expect to arrive.

The plan for Sunday is to spec out all the remaining parts we need in 
sufficient detail that anyone should be able to look at the spec and the 
see if they can find the item online.  For those of you no longer in 
Southampton and at a bit of a loose end, it would be useful if when we 
send round the list (probably a link to a wiki page) that you could go 
and some hunting around on the web to find a supplier that sells the 
various items we still need.  We will send more details about how to go 
about this to ensure multiple people don't spend their time looking for 
the same thing or we end up buying stuff from a dozen of different 
suppliers, when we could get it all from 2-3 suppliers and save money on 
delivery costs.

Regards

David Newman
