The efforts to renovate and set up the club room below the SAU (Student Alumni Union), have made strides of progress. We have added new equipment and the room is turning into a place that is fun to hang out in!
We have received new(er) computers that are much faster than the old ones including LCD flatscreen monitors to replace the old, cumbersome, RF emitting CRT monitors. The computers are being loaded with amateur radio software at the moment. We are installing programs such as:
DX Lab Suite:
-Commander
-DX Keeper
-DX Viewer
-Propview
-Spot Collector
-Pathfinder
-WinWarbler
Other software such as:
-Echolink
-Pidgin (AIM)
-Alt/Azi rotor control software
-Much more as we get a chance
The room was also furnished with several workbenches, I am pretty sure they are from the Freshman Electrical Engineering Labs, but they are NICE! The main benefits are that they do not come out as far into the room, creating more walk space and they are heavy duty.
So if any student or faculty on campus walks by and the door is open, feel free to stop and find out what K2GXT is all about. After posting this blog on " The College Blog Network" I know there are student from campus reading it and would greatly appreciate feedback or questions about any topics I may post.
Thank you for the interest in K2GXT, reading the blog, and I hope you enjoy the updates about the many activities here at RIT!
