    We have built Primary and Backup Ground Stations at the school to support the contact and we have been testing our setup and making contacts using it during the past few days.

    Our stations feature two sets of computer controlled antenna systems on the sports field at the school. You can read more about our upcoming contact and the stations which support them via the following links -
