Buildathon, anyone?
Buildathons, such as those pioneered by Steve G0FUW, are now being copied around the world. A recent report describes how they are being used in New Zealand.
The report described as ‘A Model to Lift the Profile of Amateur Radio & Attract New Amateurs’ was submitted to the 14th IARU regional conference in New Zealand and highlighted the Buildathons held in United Kingdom by Steve Hartley, G0FUW.
“The Buildathon will allow those with limited soldering experience to develop their skills under the watchful eye of some very experienced homebrewers. The kit chosen [...] has been specifically designed for the newcomer so you can be confident that you will go home with a working 80m voice transceiver.”
