1st place: 5B4AHZ Nestor and HB9FEU Christian (ex aequo)
Ham Radio Escape Room — Nestor 5B4AHZ
The idea came during the Covid-19 crisis, when people needed to find a way to have fun remotely, while actual, physical escape rooms were closed. The radio-based escape room can be played in a very similar way to a virtual escape room with amateur radio themes/stories where teams playing the game can also communicate via radio rather than a webcam.
A public database of fun projects for innovation — Christian HB9FEU
A public database of fun projects for innovation and technology-oriented hobbyists with no or little experience and equipment. The project description may include an indication of the level of complexity and the required time, prerequisite knowledge, required equipment, etc.
3rd place:
UrgentSat — Luca IU2FRL and team
A simple carry-on luggage that can be transported to schools or public demonstrations and providing a brief demonstration of the incredible capabilities of the Ham Radio World, how using cheap and second-hand tools can achieve great distances reliable communications.
The transmissions are directed to the QO-100 satellite, a geostationary device with massive ground coverage capable of repeating SSB voice and both wideband and narrowband digital streams (including high quality video channels).
This project combines multiple sciences interconnected, creating an interesting environment to approach new users in the communication technologies at any level.
Youth Price:
A Workbook that will showcase various aspects of the hobby- Guy ZS6GUY and youth team
The proposed workbook is designed to help newcomers by increasing their knowledge of different aspects of our hobby and this workbook can become a valid tool for mentors to teach some of the most common amateur radio activities.
