Give instructor top 3 project choice list
I gave the Professor the top three choices and out of them he assigned me HAM radio.

Write problem statement
Setup a Ham radio, get licensed and transmit a signal.

Assign Task1
Task one was to find out what we wanted to do with the HAM radio. Due to us all having various experiences in radio we wanted to find out what we could build a project around. Our first task was a little nebulous, but we came in on Monday with a lot of ideas on how to push the project forward.

Compare actual work done to Task1
The work we did was to make a directionless project come into focus. We came in on Monday with ideas on how to proceed and developed a problem statement out of the research we came up with.

Week1 Narrative
We looked at and inspected which radio kits worked and recorded them in our notebooks, and looked at setting up the Jupiter antenna to see if we could set it up and get it attached to a radio.

Week1 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and 1sfoerster 13:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC) to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
I am examining the manual of the radio and finding out if what we want to do on the project can work on that radio. Nick is researching what we will need to answer in the FCC test, and Chuck is looking at the antenna setup.

Assign Task4
Task four is to study for and take the FCC test on Sunday.

Compare actual work done to Task4
Due to scheduling conflicts with homework for other classes we as a group decided not to take the test. It wasn't an easy call to make, but as this class is focused more on documentation than it is accomplishment we decided we needed to focus more on our other classes.

Week4 Narrative
We had gotten the radio working (barely) last week and with the test falling through and having no class Monday apathy took over and we didn't meet and didn't finalize our project.
