School Students

Goal


Provide the opportunity for the Students at the Primary School to see and hear a amateur radio station.

Solution


I've finally arranged a date and time to demonstrate the station for the Primary School students on the island.  There will be groups of them at the "shack" and after a brief 5 minute explanation of what this is,  there will be opportunity for them to sit, by me with the radio and work SSB with whomever we can pull up on the band.  

In that regard, I have a favor to ask:

If you're a strong station, perhaps able to participate here is when we are going to be "active" with the students:

A 90 minute block:

July 26,  10:00 am to 11:30 am  (LHI Standard)
July 25   23:30 UTC to 00:30 UTC  (UTC) 
July 25  14:30 to 16:00 (Pacific)

If you can be on SSB we will try to work you. 

I've talked with the headmaster of the school and they are enthusiastic about showing the students another form of technology that permits both fun in amateur radio and a mild amount of academic interest in propagation of RF.

If this all works out, I'll publish the results.  In the mean time -- if this is something that interests you -- let me know.  We'll be ready.  

Pass along to whomever you wish.

Small Film

I made a short film. It will document highlights and provide an essence of the experience on Lord Howe Island. Please enjoy.
