I am especially thrilled to have worked KE4ZXW, which is an amateur radio demonstration station located at the Virginia Air and Space Center (VASC), 600 Settlers Landing Road, Hampton, VA ( www.vasc.org ). The station is operated by the VASC Amateur Radio Group, inc and is supported by other local amateur radio clubs. In addition to a History of Amateur Radio Exhibit, the station provides the capability to demonstrate HF, VHF, UHF communications in CW, Voice, and Digital modes, to visitors and school groups. The main feature of the exhibit is the ability to communicate with amateur radio satellites, and with the International Space Station.
Their goals are to demonstrate the Amateur Radio Hobby to visitors, to show school groups how fast technology has changed over the past century, and to encourage students to stay in school, and study Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
