During the Colloquium AMSAT-UK operated a satellite ground station using the call sign G0AUK. Contacts were made via the SO-50, AO-85 and FO-29 satellites.<\/p>\n

The ground station used the Kenwood TS-2000X transceiver that was successfully used for all the UK school contacts with astronaut Tim Peake GB1SS during his Principia<\/a> mission on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The TS-2000X<\/a> was kindly donated by Martin Lynch & Sons Ltd<\/a> and Kenwood Communications UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n
