-===== Lab HF access =====+===== Lab Radios =====
  
-Antennas tested thus far:+The lab currently has the following radios: 
 +  * Yaesu FT-757GX (HF) 
 +  * Icom (I forget the model, will update soon) (HF) 
 +  * Yaesu 7900R/E (V/UHF) (Loan from Ben C.)
  
-  TBD. Now we have a radio we can start looking at what Summerhall will let us install and what works best. Inv-V looking like the best option currently. It may be worth making a fan-IV to minimise matching losses.+The lab currently has the following antennae (for transmitting): 
 +  Off centre v-shape HF Dipole, this is mostly tuned for 40m/20m 
 +  * V/UHF Double J-Pole
  
-Coax drop options:+There are various other antennae on the roof for SDR and ADSB purposes. Details about these can be found on the [[:roof|roof]] page

-===== Mini Maker Faire =====

-It may be too soon for this year but a full license holder could apply for a special event callsign and we could show the station to the public or use it for talk in (providing directions and help to those visiting). Setting up an ardf challenge within Summerhall on very low power would also be interesting.
