Shack Set-up:
The ESOC Radioclub is presently mainly activ on allHF bands from 80m to 10m.
The station is build around a Kenwood TS-870 with 2 Laptops supporting the electronic log and digital modes operations.
Our antennas consist in an Opti-Beam 9-5 for 20, 17,15,12,10 m and a double dipolfor 80m and 40m
installed on the top fllor of a metal parking deck:
Our shack set-up consists in a TS-870 and two laptops with external soundcard for digital modes and logbook:
Activities:
We will activate the station for major contests and for special events happening at ESA and in particularESOC, e.g for
celebrating or promoting special satellite operations activities.
Regular contacts are kept with the club stations at the European Space Agency's other establishments, like PI9ESA

Galileo related Ham Radio Events
The Galileo satellite navigation system programme will face important milestones during 2013. Radio amateurs of the European Space Agency decided to participate on those achiements with some special amateur radio activities. All radio clubs of ESA (ESTEC, ESOC, ESRIN) will be activated during those events. During launches of Galileo satellites from our space port in French Guiana a station in Kourou will be active (see also the 2012 event). In addition, all 2013 radio activities from Kourou under the Galileo programme will count for this event. These radio activities will be performed by ESA staff and engineers many of them directly involved into the design, development, deployment and integration of the system. Activation will be done during staff's spare time!
Radio bands and modes: SSB, CW, DigiModes primarily on HF-bands
Recent Event:
First Galileo autonomous position, time, velocity (PVT) fix which took place 12 March 2013
Now Finished!

and
Radio contacts will be confirmed with a special Galileo QSL card through Gobal QSL or direct.
Note, all special radio contacts during above time slots will count for a special Galileo award still under design.
