Hi! CSGSA (Computer Science Graduate Student Association @ Berkeley) got some Amazon AWS credits for their students so I took $100 credit to use for a VPN server for People's open network. I think it is good to see how it works there because if we have an image for it we can easily scale than VPNs all around the globe. But first we have to see if they work and how they work and what are downsides. Credit is good until the end of August. Please somebody take this over and contact me for … [View More]

Fwd: [eecs-announce] Amateur Radio (HAM) is Back in EECS

by Mitar

Hi! Cool. I invite you to learn more about HAM! It is really good to know more about low-level things of the technologies you are using. Mitar -------- Original Message -------- From: Miki Lustig <mlustig(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Subject: [eecs-announce] Amateur Radio (HAM) is Back in EECS To: eecs-announce(a)lists.eecs.berkeley.edu Dear Students, Faculty and Staff, Topics: 1) Amateur Radio Exam on Campus 2) License Preparation Lectures on Campus 3) Demonstration of Satellite … [View More]communications tomorrow memorial glade 4) What is HAM and what is it good for 5) Ham-shack in Cory Hall 6) Link to all the info: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee123/sp14/HAM.html 1) Exam: As part of a do-it-yourself, maker, I can build it trend the department has been leading I am trying to revamp the amateur radio activity in the department. As such, I have organized a special exam session for an FCC Ham radio operator license . The session will be on Feb 26th 7-9pm HP auditorium, Soda Hall and is open to EVERYONE, students, staff, faculty, family and friends. My students in EE123: Digital Signal Processing will all be taking the exam. 2) Preparation Even though the exam is EASY for EECS/CS majors, in the next 3 weeks I am going to give a series of lectures to prepare for it. The first one is going to be this Friday, Jan 31st 5-6pm HP auditorium, Soda Hall. 3) Tomorrow, Wednesday Jan 29th we are going to have a demonstration on satellite communication with handheld radios in memorial glade. Just look for people walking around with antennas. Satellite Saudisat 1c OSCAR-50 is going to flyby from 12:20-12:34 so be there on time. 4) Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) is a popular hobby and service in which licensed Amateur Radio operators (hams) operate communications equipment. Although Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the Amateur Bands.. These bands are radio frequencies reserved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by ham radio operators. The role of amateur radio has obviously changed with the presence of the internet. Remarkably, amateur radio today offers unique opportunities and capabilities due to its independence on commercial infrastructure. For example, it is a legal ground for hands-on experimenting with wireless communication technology and it allows communication in emergencies and from remote areas. What can you do as a HAM? Talk to people (near and far) Build stuff (amps, sdrs, antennas, receivers) Emergency communications (emcom) First person view (FPV) vehicles (drones) at much higher power of communication for long distance Hit satellites, moon, meteors, airplanes (with radio waves! not something else) Digital communication with Automatic Positioning and Reporting System, packet radio Use Repeaters covering bay-area, California and the United States, mesh networks 5) Activities in amateur radio at the University of California Radio Club go back to 1914! According to the January 1923 issue of CALIFORNIA ENGINEER, the amateur radio station was originally established in the Mechanics Building in February of 1914. For 30 years or more the radio station was located in Cory Hall up until the renovation of this building in the 1980s. I'm trying to get a Ham shack back on the 5th floor of Cory Hall. If you are interested in participating, please shoot me an email and I'll put you on an email list for more info. 6) For more information, please visit http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee123/sp14/HAM.html ------------------------------ KK6MRI Michael Lustig, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, 506 Cory Hall, University of California, Berkeley CA, 94720 Office Tel: (510)643-9338 http://www.mlustig.com -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m [View Less]
