    More and more, Im impressed by what IARU R1 is doing for amateur radio. The latest is their Ham Challenge 2022. The challenge is for hams to come up
    with game-changing idea that will attract more people to amateur radio and
    make amateur radio more fun for those already involved.

    According to the official rules,

    [IARU R1] expects you to come with new ideas that we will help you to bring
    to reality. The winning teams or individuals will bring their ideas to life
    in partnership with the amateur radio community. The International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 (IARU R1) will provide guidance for these projects and will support them financially.

    The ideas will be judged according to the following criteria:

    Increases the fun and enjoyment of amateur radio.
    Serves the global ham community.
    Is experimental in nature.
    Is innovative.
    Increases radio amateurs knowledge.
    Is valuable to society.


    Unfortunately, this challenge is only available to amateurs in IARU R1, but
    I do have some readers in R1, so I hope that this message gets to them. I
    also hope that the IARU R2 folks get a good look at this and perhaps come
    up with something similar here.




    The deadline for submitting ideas is May 31, 2022, and applicants must
    submit an abstract of their idea with short bio and a brief motivation statement. A committee will review and select the best proposals by June
    10, 2022. The participants will then have 15 more days to prepare a more detailed presentation of their idea to be presented in person or virtually during HamRadio 22 in Friedrichshafen.

    Cash prizes for the winners are as follows:

    1st place: €500
    2nd place: €200
    3rd place: €100
    Youth prize (under the age of 26): €200







    Youll find the complete rules on the IARU R1 website.
