This very remarkable achievement probably makes her the youngest general class licence holder ever (just 6 years old).

Hello Fans!

The main goal of our community is to report news to each other so we encourage you to post as much news as you can.

Reporting a news is very simple and does not require any particular skill.

After three successful missions, the fourth Shenzhou took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest Gansu province.

This launch is considered the last before manned operations.

Will they be active on Amateur Radio? I dont think so... I am afraid there will never be any Shenzhou Fan Club.

Here you can find good coverage of the event.
