In 2002 an amateur radio station GB50 was established in Windsor Castle to celebrate Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee. HRH Prince Philip visited the station and associated exhibits which included a video of an amateur radio contact between young women at Harrogate Ladies' College and the International Space Station. Some of the students, members of the College's amateur radio society, had travelled to Windsor to be introduced to Prince Philip and told him about their contact with the space station.
