This Week in Amateur Radio

North America's Premiere Amateur Radio News Magazine

via the RSGB: RSGB British Science Week Challenge

The theme of British Science Week this year is Time. Both time and the closely related concept of frequency, are of vital importance to radio communications.

The RSGB has announced a new challenge for British Science Week linked to this theme. The challenge has categories for every age group and the winner of each group will win a prize.

The deadline for entries is 1 September and the results will be announced at the RSGB Convention in October.

The challenge is as follows:

“Using readily available components, material or other resources, provide a method of either measuring the frequency of a radio frequency source or signal, or providing a time reference to a radio operator or radio system”.
