I am no longer at RIT, I've graduated and moved 2,500 miles away (Los Angeles, CA). I know K2GXT is still quite active, their website has up to date contact info! Andrew, I remember those Thursdays. The schedule did not work out well for quarter system at RIT. Most of us had homework/exams all

Hey Andrew! If your college club is active definitely check out K2GXT (Rochester Institute of Technology) http://www.rit.edu/sg/amateurradioclub/ as they are very active. Theres a semi-functional satellite station there, finding time to finish it was the hardest part. Give them an email! Congrats

Nick and Bryce, In another email, Bruce (KK5DO) mentioned trying to get all of the college stations on the air for a few passes. Let me know if you'd be interested. I suggest we time it somewhere around School Club Roundup. On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 4:35 PM, Bryce Salmi bstguitar...@gmail.com

I just hope their signals are clean!  :)  Just joking! UTD, actually UTDIRICC (University of Texas, at Dallas, in Richardson, in Collin County) is located about 1-mile, straight west, of my house. UTD is NOT located in Dallas!  It is in Richardson, Texas, former home of the new  corporate

Glen, While technically not in Dallas, I will argue that it is partially in Dallas County. See the image linked below. Our antennas are 100 feet from Dallas County, according to Google Earth. The only thing left of TAGER is the TAGER tower, and from what I hear, they want to take it down. It's

Greg, At this point in time, we're entirely grounded to the building's Franklin loop. Although this is probably adequate, it's not quite up to our standards. We don't have any lightning arrestors on our coax (yet), but it's on the shopping list for Ham-Com and Dayton. They're not high, but also

Some of the newer buildings do now overlap into Dallas County.  But, for decades, there was absolutely nothing outside of Collin County. You really don't need lightning arrestors on the coaxial cables.  The primary thing that they do is to get the shield of the coaxial cable grounded and there
