Hi Kevin, KF7MYK Not including the SPUTNIC-1 beacon on 20 MHz the ECHO-1 beacon on 108.030 MHz and the moon on 70 cm EME the OLDEST communication satellite for me was OSCAR-6 and the BEST for me was AO40 on mode U/S and L/S 73" de i8CVS Domenico - Original Message - From: "Kevin Deane" To: Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 12:40 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Funnies > > > Since Ham Radio cartoon funnies seem to be so hard to come by, I have been making my own.

[amsat-bb] Re: Funnies
I forgot to mention that the command stations were very busy in the first few weeks of AO-6 because we had to keep the transponder turned-off to save the batteries. Unfortunately, this resulted in QSO's being cut in half, because the bird lit up with activity every time the Tx became activated. I'm sure I was not making friends! This was from Barstow, CA and K6HIJ's front yard. We only ran as command for about two weeks. This was probably 1972? Ed - KL7UW PS: Dick (K6HIJ-sk) and I were both members of sbms which made the 2.4 GHz beacon for AO-7 (which was never turned on). Dick was my boss at Goldstone.

But BEST has to be AO-7 since it is still perculating!
