RSGB Construction Competition
?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would be very grateful if you could remind your club members that there is only one month to go before entries close for the annual RSGB Construction Competition.? This year the competition is being sponsored by Martin Lynch and Sons with prizes of ?50 of vouchers for each category winner and ?100 for the winner of prestigious Pat Hawker G3VA Trophy that will be awarded to the best overall entry.? ?
?
There are four categories –
?
1) Designer. This is aimed at encouraging original designs, which can be software, hardware or a combination thereof. Entries in this class will be judged on the elegance and innovation used to solve a new problem, or to solve a well-known problem in some better way. The entry will also be judged on the degree to which it advances the state of the art in amateur radio.
?
2) Craftsman. This category is aimed at those constructing projects designed by someone else; entries are likely to be based on a published design. Kits may feature, either as a part or the whole of the project. For kit builders, credit will be given for personal additions, modifications or finishing touches. Entries in this class will be judged on the overall quality of the construction/excellence in craftsmanship.
?
3) Beginner. This category is aimed at those new to amateur radio. The entrant must have been a member of the RSGB for less than a total of three years and must have held an amateur radio licence of any type for less than three years.
?
4) Junior Member. This category is aimed at our young members. The entrant must be a Junior member of the RSGB on the date of submission of the entry.
?
The competition is designed to encourage home construction, experimentation, design and innovation, and any Member of the RSGB is eligible to enter.? The closing date for entries is 30 September and judging will take place at the RSGB Convention.
?
If your club organises your own construction competition, please encourage the entrants to submit their work to us as well.
?
Full details are available on the RSGB website ?

Many thanks
