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 didnt 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.
