A productive evening at the hall last Friday, as Chris M7VJE re-installed the souped-up shack computer, which now has 8GB of RAM, a solid-state hard drive, new speakers and a webcam for Zoom.
I added a new 4-port Gigabit switch-come-WiFi Access Point, which gives us a direct hard-wired connection for the shack computer and spare capacity for the (soon to be installed) WebSDR as well as for a future remote-access SDR transceiver. The SSID for the wireless in the shack is... well, I'll let you search for it. You'll know it when you see it, and the password is available from the shack manager.
Everything is working fine, and we are getting more than adequate upload and download speeds. Thanks once again to the CHCA (Cyprus Hall Community Association) for allowing us to have this facility.
I am also manually updating the fundraising totaliser for the new transceiver as and when I'm advised of incoming funds. I'm happy to report that so far, we have had at least four donations, with more on the way.
Please do think hard if there are any commercial entities that you may have contacts within who may wish to support and be associated with this great club. I'm more than happy to publicise their patronage with a banner or logo on the website.
