The belated October 2025 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Alex Barnes, who applied on behalf of Amateur Radio and Electronics Society (QUB_ARES) at Queen’s University Belfast! Alex has informed us that they are an academic society primarily focused on running regular educational events around radio and electronics. So far they have run lessons and training for their members to get UK Foundation Amateur Radio licenses, worked with a local Scouts group for Jamborees on the Air, and she ran a series of events last year where she demonstrated using an SDR and a few 433 MHz ASK modules to reverse engineer the protocol used by wireless doorbells. The society has deep roots within the history of Queen’s University Belfast, although for most of the past 25 years it was non-existent! Alex tells us that students restarted the society almost two years ago, and are still trying to acquire equipment for them to use for events. We sent the Amateur Radio and Electronics Society a HackRF One, which they plan on using for future educational events, including more amateur radio license training and demonstrations that will be hands-on and allow participants to go on the air. We are looking forward to seeing what the members of ARES are able to accomplish with their new HackRF One!
