Yesterday was the final day of the ARRL Teacher’s Institute. I couldn’t believe how quickly the week came and went.

We spent the morning wrapping up a few of the topics we had covered throughout the week, as well as set up for another pass of FunCube. This pass was much lower on the horizon, so we did not collect as much data this time around.

Lunch was a little longer, so that we would have the opportunity to expand upon some of the ideas we had throughout the week. We were to present a brief lesson plan using some of the information we had learned. I had an idea for measuring the radiation from different soil types, so I talked about that.

After lunch, we gave feedback and filed paperwork and packed up to leave.

This was a great workshop, and I highly recommend it for any teachers who are trying to bring radio and electronics into the classroom.

Thank you for reading my post!

I am not hearing many signals on 20 meters. My antenna is tuning, but I’m not hearing much. I will take a look at my antenna this afternoon.

I did make one contact on the 20 meter county hunter net, and I did check into the Albuquerque SCAT Net (2 meter side) this morning, however.

The big news, however, is that I have been accepted into the ARRL Teacher’s Institute for the Remote Sensing class!!!! I will be going to W1AW/ARRL Headquarters again for a week in July, and I’m really looking forward to it!

Now, to figure out this antenna, and to finish preparing for storm chasing…
