MEng nearly complete – This years exams over

Just as I am finishing off my masters for this year the ionosphere seems to be picking up a bit. My station is still a little flaky and falls over readily the results that are making it through to the website seem to be pretty good.

Generally the paths between my qth and the US are in the early afternoon and are fairly consistent. Unfortunately at this time of year the normally breezy conditions become windy and it’s when the antenna usually comes down. This year as I’ve spent the last 3 months with my head in the books the antenna hasn’t even made it outside. I’ll be reclaiming my Friday afternoons as well so this afternoon I’ll be setting myself and the station back to work.

BEng Hons

After 6 years of study with the OU I finally got my BEng. A 2.1 was a nice surprise and I’m very glad I managed it. Only a few more months and the MEng will also be mine.

My head is still stuck in my books at the moment so anything to do with enjoyment just isn’t really happening . Its a shame but that’s the way it has to be for the next couple of months. My MEng exams are due to be late October which is nice as it gives me a few extra weeks of revision but still means I’ll be stuck in the study for a while yet.
