Norval asks a difficult question - but does someone know the answer?

The teams arrive at the hostel only to discover that the chickens for tomorrows
lunch are missing! However, the Pizzas have arrived safely and are duly consumed.
The teams are formed and they discover that their task for the weekend is
to build a Transmitter and radio reciever . But first it's quiz night - will all
the questions be this difficult?

After a peaceful nights sleep, (for those who remembered to go to bed), and a planning meeting the teams begin to build their shocking machines.

Sunday, and the machines are complete. All are working on the low voltage circuit breaker with one just refusing to work on the high voltage. All have working radio receivers.

All of the machines produce a sparking low voltage circuit breaker - but what is the range to be? 3 Yards - 5 yards? Team 4 broadcasts all the way into the next room!!

Well done to all of the teams on their hard work. A really good weekend spent in the beautiful autumnal Royal Deeside.
