TAM
TAM stands for Trans Atlantic Model and GREC was instrumental in providing
assistance to this successful event. A group of model aircraft enthusiasts
from USA decided to attempt fly a model aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean
for the first time, from Newfoundland to Connemara, thus emulating Alcock
and Brown's flight.
GREC assisted by setting up a radio telemetry receiving station which would
monitor signals from the model aircraft as it approached Ireland. This was on
433Mhz so was well within our capability of 70cms operation.
