Hack Weekend 2015
Aim
Details
Location - Southampton
Chosen due to focus of people working on UKHASnet projects
currently looking for possible venues, need to allow soldering/3d printing
Date - TBD
Saturday - building and construction
Sunday - Field testing, installing nodes, and by the evening establishing the link.
Suggested aims
Southampton -> Isle of Wight
Installation of nodes down the solent e.g. at Southampton Sailing Club
Allows range testing over water
Will probably need directional antennas
Possible node sites would need to ask
Would need to get permission to install the nodes, as hopefully they are self sufficient and unobtrusive there shouldn't be any problems
New Forest Bridge
Create a link from Southampton to Bournemouth
Would need multiple nodes in the New Forest
Would need to get permission from the Forestry Commission
Go via educational team, would be collecting data, perhaps downlink to visitors centre
Would probably need prototype nodes in advance to get permission
