London Hackspace is among the youngest active amateur radio clubs in the United Kingdom. Due to this circumstance, our members have not benefitted like other clubs from decades of collecting and donation. With this in mind, we'd like to change that as we are a bit short on certain resources due to money and club age.

== Radio ==

* HF radio - Integrated solid state receivers (circa 1983 and newer) with automatic tuners can prove easy for new hams to get on the air.
** Additional useful features would include CAT tuner capability / interface, integrated ATU, DSP filter
* VHF / UHF multi-band radio - we would be interested in

== Antenna & Infrastructure ==

* HF antennas - we would love to try more 80m / 40m / 20m QSOs with our antenna masts - but bear in mind we do not have a huge rural garden for gigantic dipoles. :-)
* VHF / UHF / Satellite tracking setups - we are hoping to make tracking the ISS and communicating with astronauts and satellites a hallmark part of the LHS radio experience.
* Dog-bone Insulators - we need to connect things up safely and keep them taut!

== Test Equipment ==

* Lightweight Oscilloscope
* Portable Spectrum Analyser
* Arbitrary Waveform Generator
* RF Field Strength Meter

== Dream Wish-List ==
* Five or Ten-pack of Baofeng BF-F8+ radios - we'd love to be able to have a rolling stock of 'my-first-radio' to provide to new hams, pre-programmed with local repeaters, enabling people to play on the air immediately
* Byonics TinyTrak4 / GPS2 Receiver - for APRS experimentation with cheap FM portable radios like Baofeng
* [http://www.g0hwc.com/raspberry-pi-ham-radio.html RaspberryPi2 and related goodies] - so much cool (radio and more) stuff being built with this low-cost compute device
* HackRF One / HackRF Blue with Ham-it-Up Upconverter - We would love to experiment further with SDR
