Members of the Verulam Amateur Radio Club (VARC) were present at Sandringham School today to set up the publicity stand and club station as part of the schools Festival of Space which is running from the 5th to the 8th January.  We thought we would share some pictures.

VARC has a long history of association with Sandringham school. Headteacher Alan Gray (G4DJX) is a senior member of the club and has welcomed VARC in attracting youngsters to Amateur Radio.

VARC will be helping students operate the VARC club station GX3VER during the lead-up to the anticipated ISS link up event.  Please see DX cluster spots for where the station is currently operating (operation is focused on school hours).  We will also be publishing our operating frequencies on our Facebook Page and Twitter Feeds.  The event at the school should deliver significant media interest for Amateur Radio. Live news coverage of the link to the ISS is expected on BBC and other national TV and radio networks.
