Paul Carter was artist in residence at Royston Youth Action
Between September 2000 and July 2001 during which time he
worked with a group of boys from the Youth Action on the 'Signal
Hut' project. 'Signal Hut' centred upon using Royston Spire
as a radio transceiver to transmit and receive radio signals
from space. The group worked together on the building of a
radio control centre where audio messages were collected from
residents of Royston and worked together on assembling of
equipment which transmitted those messages from Spire Park
into space on the 28th July 2001. The 'Signal Hut' project
was completed with the installation of receiving equipment
within the Spire which will emit a bright green light from
the belfry of the spire should any reply be received.
