Good day, everyone!
The last week has been pretty darn productive for Operation: First Contact.
Last Wednesday, on April 9th, we put on a presentation for a panel of students representing all the different programs at Humber. Our presentation went really well, and we got approved for some extra funding for the project. I'd like to thank the panel so much, because without their support, we'd have to resort to begging for spare change!
On that note, last night, we had a booth set up at a party set up by Humber Rez. While we didn't make a whole lot of money, we certainly made people aware of our project. My sister Melissa came up from Welland to give us a hand with everything, and we're all really thankful that she did! She's going to be starting at Humber next year, and she's going to be a welcome part of the Humber Telecom Club!
Tomorrow, assuming all goes according to schedule, we should be starting the assembly of our primary antenna. We ended up deciding that the Hy-Gain OSCAR-style Yagi was the very best antenna to suit the needs of our project. While we assemble it, we're going to be taking some primary measurements for the antenna we're designing. Over the summer, we'll be building our antenna. We'll also be spending a considerable amount of time testing, re-testing, and re-re-testing both antennas.
Now for some really big news!
Friday, we are going to be hosting a meeting for some of the most important people at Humber College. I'm not going to give away too many of the details just yet, but trust me when I say that it's going to be pretty exciting!
Check back here next week to see how it went!
