During the Colloquium AMSAT-UK operated a satellite ground station using
the call sign G0AUK. Contacts were made via the SO-50, AO-85 and FO-29
satellites.

The ground station used the Kenwood TS-2000X transceiver that was
successfully used for all the UK school contacts with astronaut Tim Peake
GB1SS during his Principia mission on the International Space Station.

The TS-2000X was kindly donated by Martin Lynch & Sons Ltd and Kenwood
Communications UK.

The 2016 Colloquium presentations along with those from previous years can
be found on the AMSAT-UK YouTube channel at
