Hi,
not sure if the -bb supports attachments but will give it a try.
I have images of the control station complete with 1970's computers, and the
receiving station.
Nice picture of the antenna array which appears to be four crossed yagi's in a
square, each one has 8 pairs of elements.

That works great when you are in the middle of your time zone, geographically,
which you and I appear to be. It wouldn't be quite so accurate if you were in
one of those absurd examples of politics trumping astrophysics, such as
Iceland, north-central Mexico, Argentina, or most of China which

Hi Kevin,
Not exactly. No two points can be more than 200km (124 miles apart). It
isn't a circle around your QTH with a 124 mile radius, because many points
would be more than 124 miles from each other. You could make some QSOs from
a point 50 miles east of your QTH, and some other QSOs from a

When you get stopped for speeding do you start telling the cop you pay his

You think they were living high on the hog while in the military and NASA?
Be careful with Buzz though, he could just as easily through a punch as sign an
autograph. He's a temperamental one.

I think someone was interested in DN10 there is a spot on I-80 where 10 & 11
meet. Now I want these Grids myself so I guess I have to work my brother 10
feet away to get them. Seems pretty lame to me but I suppose Rules are Rules.

Hi!
Due to a series of events over the past 3 weeks, I have had no time

where I can work the satellites from. I won't have to go out to a
park or parking lot to get on the satellites, unless I want to. I
