Miroslav Skoric of University of Novi Sad, Serbia

Workshop ‘in the field’ features a team of students who walk around the campus, carrying a handheld ham radio station equipped with a GNSS (GPS) receiver. The second team remains in the lab, trying to receive radio signals (and position) sent by the first team. The experiment can be expanded to a mobile radio station installed into a car that drives across the campus area, etc.
