Handheld radios were presented to Sandringham School students<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On Monday, January\u00a0 26, 2016, Tony Wiltshire, M0TNY\/ZB2TY<\/strong> – from Martin Lynch & Sons Ltd<\/a><\/strong> and Mark Haynes, M0DXR<\/strong><\/a> – from Kenwood UK<\/a><\/strong> visited Sandringham School<\/a><\/strong> in St Albans.<\/p>\n

A presentation and demonstration was made to Polly, M6POG<\/strong>, Emma, M6GJQ<\/strong> and Jessica, M6LPJ<\/strong>, the school\u2019s newly licenced amateurs who previously had made the initial contact with Tim Peake GB1SS<\/strong> aboard the ISS.<\/p>\n

The girls had placed orders for Kenwood\u2019s TH-K20E<\/a> VHF handies with ML&S<\/a> and have been looking forward to being active on the bands with their own equipment. ML&S hope the demonstration will get them the air very soon and they also thank headmaster Alan Gray, G4DJX<\/strong>, for his hospitality and wish Sandringham School Radio Hams the best for the future!<\/p>\n

Rumour has it that 15 more students from the school will be taking their licence exams as a result of the interest from the ISS contact.<\/p>\n
