I give prizes to students at the Dallas Regional Science Fair. There
are some pictures on the ARRL NTX web page, URL below. There is a link
to a video about the event there as well. I look for topics that are
covered in the ARRL Handbook. I do this because I know the experience
winning at a Science Fair. I did that back in the 1970's with a method
of copying magnetic tape with heat. I've seen some great radio related
projects over the years.
What prizes did these students win in Sacramento?

OK, well maybe the radio didn't quite win the science fair but the
student who did, Michael Binon, KI6QOC, used a Flex 5000a to collect
data on four different wire antennas he constructed for a backpack QRP
station built by his classmate, Joshua Fournier, KI6PJW. Michael's
project took 1st place and Joshua's took 2nd place in the Engineering
category for grades 6-8 of the Sacramento Regional Science and
Engineering Fair. A third classmate, Frankie Moirao, KI6QYS, received
3rd place in the Mathematics and Computer Science category for his RF
data link operating in the 70cm band.
Two other students, Noah Cudd, KI6UHT, and Teri Nittler, KI6QLQ, also
received awards. Noah took 1st place in the Biology category for his
study of greenhouse gasses. Teri received a special award from the
Society of Professional Engineers for her study of the aerodynamics of
roofs on houses in high winds.
Yeah, I am *WAY* proud of my students.
Maybe Flex can get some milage from the F5K being used in a winning
science-fair project.
