The Club is able to train and assess students [no matter what age] who wish to get an Australian Amateur radio licence allowing the licence holder to transmit voice and digital signals around the world using the ionosphere to 'skip' signals. It is possible to use dedicated satellites, carrying amateur equipment, to contact other amateurs including those who are part of the crew on the International Space Station.
