Knowsley Online.Hong Kong connection for school Hams

Oakdene pupils connected with the other side of the world last week when radio ham Tony Lewis came calling.

The school had a mast erected in its grounds to allow pupils to communicate with other amateur radio enthusiasts as far away as Hong Kong.

Tony Lewis, of Rainhill Rotary Club, brought along fellow hams to help set up the connection, and children spent the day learning about radio communication as part of Science Week.
