INNOVATION IN AMATEUR RADIO A COMPETITION WITH A DIFFERENCE "Innovation in Amateur Radio" is an eighteen month project by the South African Amateur Radio Development Trust aimed at promoting innovation in Amateur Radio. “While Amateur Radio is one of the oldest and still the most rewarding of all the scientific hobbies, there comes a time when one has to look at innovation, new ideas and new technologies to keep the activities relevant and exciting”. This is the view of Hannes Coetzee,
ZS6BZP, a technologist and a member of the Board of Trustees of SAARDT.
Hannes was one of the principle architects of the Amateur Radio payload
on SumbandilaSat which is attracting wide interest amongst radio
amateurs world-wide. The innovation competition is
supported by Multisource who has made a HF transceiver, an ICOM7000,
available as the main prize for the overall winner. Announcing the
sponsorship the CEO of Multisource, Richard Smuts-Steyn, said that
innovation in communication technology is an ongoing process. “We
believe that the amateur radio innovation project will benefit industry
as the enthusiasm of radio amateurs for new technologies will rub off to
others.” Go to the Innovation page here |
