Amateur radio can open up a new world of opportunities for students, says teacher Chris Aitken MM0WIC, @skipperAitken on X<\/a><\/strong>, who shares his tips on how to start a club in the Times Educational Supplement \u2013 TES Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2023 I officially started the Wick High School Radio Club<\/a><\/strong>, with a callsign of GM0WHS. The aim of the club was to expose our students to the wide range of activities available in amateur radio.<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember our first activity: talking to another amateur in England via the SO-50 satellite. I stood with three students on the rugby pitch, antennas pointing to the sky and talking to another amateur, Nick M1DDD<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

By the end of the contact, we had 30 students around us wondering what was going on. Their curiosity sparked, we answered questions on what we were doing and invited them to take part.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
