Thinking Day on the Air 2017 – GB1SGG

Ken, Andy and James helped some Brownies and Guides with Thinking Day on the Air by running various radio related activities and a special event station where the girls could pass messages. We didn’t find any other Guiding group on the air but a number of amateurs were happy to accept their messages.

The girls were especially interested in CW which shows that the aging mode does still have appeal to future generations.

We closed the day by receiving a satellite pass of AO-85 which the girls also found fascinating as they heard stations from the UK, Italy and Belguim using just a handheld radio.

Thanks to all involved in making it possible including the hams who responded to calls from our special event station.
