VICTORIA HAM FAMILY MAKE THE NEWS..

The following information was gleaned from the ARRL Contest Update issued March 12th 2014.  Congratulations to all involved.

 

In another example of ham radio setting the stage for innovation, Ann Makosinski, daughter of Arthur and Sandra Ann Makosinski (VE7FAB and VE7EEL), created a novel LED flashlight powered by heat from the hand holding it. The project won for her age group in the 2013 Google Science Fair. Requiring no batteries or other power sources, the flashlight can provide light in areas without electricity or other reliable and affordable power sources. (Thanks, Jim KØUPW)
