FBCS dials in for radio competition
SANDPOINT — Fully equipped with their own call sign and a student-built antenna, Forrest M. Bird Charter School students are ready to take on a national amateur radio competition.
“This is the first time Forrest M. Bird Charter School has done anything this big in this area before,” Mark Webber, academic intervention coordinator at FBCS, said.
During the “School Club Roundup” competition, which is hosted by the National Association for Amateur Radio, each team’s station may operate no more than six hours out of 24 and may not count more than a total of 24 hours of the 107-hour event. Clearly marked breaks of at least 10 minutes may be taken and are not counted toward total operating time.
