The Radio-Philes Mystery Message Contest Results

The Challenge 2016 Mystery Message Contest received 147 entries by the end of the drive. The winner of the grand prize (a pair of Alaska Airlines tickets) was selected in a random drawing. Congratulations to Honolulu resident and HPR Sustaining Member Cheryl Squair.

The Mystery quote was by Stephen Hawking from a TED Talk in 2008:

I think it quite likely that we are the only civilization within several hundred light years; otherwise we would have heard radio waves. (time code: 9:17)
