To gain maximum points, all entries should be boxed and working when tested.

Now into its fourth year challenge previous entries have been judged. With the first year's entries, neither unit could be proved to work as the aerial used was inadequate. The second years projects, though few were well presented. But the third year's projects were both more numerous and well presented. We look forward to the fourth and final year's worth of entries with interest.
