Norfolk club spaces out students

Norfolk Amateur Radio Club recently participated in Acle High School’s Annual Science Day.

The theme for this year’s event was space, with the highlight of the day being the display of an 11m Nova/Starchaser 4 rocket that was launched above Morecambe Bay in 2001.

Norfolk ARC members provided an interactive display illustrating different methods of space communication including a working model satellite, built by the club’s youth group Bright Sparks. Visitors were able to use the satellite to communicate using handheld radios.

The club also beamed live ATV pictures onto a large TV screen in the school’s entrance hall. Meanwhile, Norfolk ARC’s amateur radio demonstration vehicle provided a traditional radio display next to the rocket outside.
