<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">This morning during our
Breakfast Show Radio Verulam in St Albans relayed a live link between local
school Sandringham and astronaut Tim Peake in the International Space Station
in the few minutes when the ISS passed over <st1:place w:st="on">St Albans</st1:place>.</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">It is worth mentioning
that this achievement by the school did not involve simply plugging into ESA
professional communications facilities but instead a direct two way radio link
using Amateur Radio equipment and a tracking satellite dish following the ISS
across the sky above <st1:place w:st="on">St Albans</st1:place> for around 8
minutes. I suspect not that many schools have such equipment (<st1:place w:st="on">Sandringham</st1:place>
has a thriving amateur radio club).</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Around 1,000 schools across
the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
have applied to join the Principia project so many more will be doing something
similar in the next few months - it might be worth seeing if you can do
something with any schools local to you. But <st1:place w:st="on">Sandringham</st1:place>
was the first to do this and so Radio Verulam was first to relay it too!</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>
