New Challenge for British Science Week

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.

“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”
